How do I use FragmentPagerAdapter to have tabs with different content?
I want to have different tabs, where you can swipe through like in the android market. Each tab should use one fragment and use one method for it.
This is my FragmentPagerAdapter class:
public class SectionsPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
public SectionsPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
}
@Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
Fragment fragment =null;
switch (position) {
case 0:
fragment = new ConnectionFragment();
break;
case 1:
fragment = new DataFragment();
break;
case 2:
fragment = new GraphFragment();
break; }
return fragment;
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
// Show 3 total pages.
return 3;
}
}
And I have three classes for each fragment type/tab:
public static class ConnectionFragment extends Fragment {
public static final String ARG_SECTION_NUMBER = "section_number";
public String stringConnectionStatus = "Offline";
public String stringWiflyIp = "0.0.0.0";
public ConnectionFragment() {}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View connectionView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_connection,
container, false);
TextView statusView = (TextView) connectionView.findViewById(R.id.status_label);
statusView.setText("Connection status: " + stringConnectionStatus);
TextView ipView = (TextView) connectionView.findViewById(R.id.ip_label);
ipView.setText("WiFly IP: " + stringWiflyIp);
/**TextView sectionBarView = (TextView) connectionView
.findViewById(R.id.section_label);
sectionBarView.setText("pups");"*/
return connectionView;
}
}
public static class DataFragment extends Fragment {
public DataFragment() {}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View dataView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_data,
container, false);
TextView sectionBarView = (TextView) dataView
.findViewById(R.id.section_label);
sectionBarView.setText("pups2");
return dataView;
}
}
public static class GraphFragment extends Fragment {
public GraphFragment() {
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_graph,
container, false);
TextView sectionBarView = (TextView) rootView
.findViewById(R.id.section_label);
sectionBarView.setText("pups3");
return rootView;
}
}
Each Fragment should be customizable, thats why I have three classes.
Nevertheless, the app crashes in the getItem method. Any ideas? Thank you!
Edit: The complete MainActivity.java:
import ...
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {

* fragments for each of the sections. We use a
* {@link android.support.v4.app.FragmentPagerAdapter} derivative, which

* intensive, it may be best to switch to a

Answer
Create the adapter:
class MyPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
public List<String> fragmentsA;
public MyPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
fragmentsA = fragments;
}
@Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
//return MyFragment.newInstance();
return Fragment.instantiate(context, fragmentsA.get(position));
}
@Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
//return CONTENT[position % CONTENT.length].toUpperCase();
return mEntries.get(position % CONTENT.length).toUpperCase();
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
// return CONTENT.length;
return mEntries.size();
}
@Override
public int getItemPosition(Object object) {
return POSITION_NONE;
}
}
Each fragment belongs to different classes.
So you have to define a fragment list (These go to the main FragmentActivity) :
static MyPagerAdapter adapter;
and fill it with the fragments:
fragments.add(ConnectionFragment.class.getName());
fragments.add(DataFragment.class.getName());
fragments.add(Tab3.class.getName());
//..etc
Then you have to add the fragments to the adapter like this:
pager = (ViewPager)findViewById(R.id.viewpager);
adapter = new MyPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
pager.setAdapter(adapter);
The MyPagerAdaper will go through all the fragments contained by the fragments list, then it will instantiate each of them.
