Im trying to pass data between two fragmens in my program. Its just a simple string that is stored in the List. The List is made public in fragments A, and when the user clicks on a list item, I need it to show up in fragment B. The content provider only seems to support ID's, so that will not work. Any suggestions?

Why don't you use a Bundle. From your first fragment, here's how to set it up:

Fragment fragment = new Fragment();
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putInt(key, value);
fragment.setArguments(bundle);

Then in your second Fragment, retrieve the data using:

Bundle bundle = this.getArguments();
int myInt = bundle.getInt(key, defaultValue);

Bundle has put methods for lots of data types. Please see http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Bundle.html
