Get focused View from ViewPager

Question

i use the ViewPager for switching views with left/right swipe.

The ViewPager needs an Adapter, so I've built this one:

public class ListViewPagerAdapter extends PagerAdapter {

protected static final String TAG = "ListViewPagerAdapter";
protected static final int NUM_VIEWS = 3;

protected final Activity mActivity;

public ListViewPagerAdapter(Activity activity) {
    mActivity = activity;
}

@Override
public int getCount() {
    return NUM_VIEWS;
}

@Override
public void startUpdate(View container) {}

@Override
public Object instantiateItem(View container, int position) {
    // ViewPager
    ViewPager viewPager = (ViewPager) container;

    // Wird verwendet, um die Views aufzurufen
    LayoutInflater layoutInflater = mActivity.getLayoutInflater();

    // Standardmäßig ist news eingeblendet
    View view = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.news_fragment, null);
    // Falls sich die Position verändert, so verändert sich auch die View
    if (position == 0) {
        view = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.favorite_fragment, null);
    } else if (position == 2) {
        view = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.videos_fragment, null);
    }

    // View einblenden
    viewPager.addView(view, 0);

    return view;
}

@Override
public void destroyItem(View container, int position, Object object) {
    // ViewPager
    ViewPager viewPager = (ViewPager) container;
    // View
    View view = (View) object;

    // View löschen
    viewPager.removeView(view);
}

@Override
public void finishUpdate(View container) {}

@Override
public boolean isViewFromObject(View view, Object object) {
    View _view = (View) object;
    return view == _view;
}

@Override
public Parcelable saveState() {
    return null;
}

@Override
public void restoreState(Parcelable state, ClassLoader loader) {}
 }

Now, i want to get the current focused view by the viewpager. I tried getChildAt(x), but it does not work.

Are there some example, or do you have any idea how to get the current view?

Thanks

It is possible to save the currently active object (View, Fragment, ...) by overriding PagerAdapter.setPrimaryItem method. For example:

private View mCurrentView;

@Override
public void setPrimaryItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
    mCurrentView = (View)object;
}
