Basic communication between two fragments

Question

I have one activity - MainActivity. Within this activity I have two fragments, both of which I created declaratively within the xml.

I am trying to pas

Answer 1

Consider my 2 fragments A and B, and Suppose I need to pass data from B to A.

Then create an interface in B, and pass the data to the Main Activity. There create another interface and pass data to fragment A.

Sharing a small example:

Fragment A looks like

public class FragmentA extends Fragment implements InterfaceDataCommunicatorFromActivity {
public InterfaceDataCommunicatorFromActivity interfaceDataCommunicatorFromActivity;
String data;

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return super.onCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState);
}

@Override
public void updateData(String data) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    this.data = data;
    //data is updated here which is from fragment B
}

@Override
public void onAttach(Activity activity) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onAttach(activity);
    try {
        interfaceDataCommunicatorFromActivity = (InterfaceDataCommunicatorFromActivity) activity;
    } catch (ClassCastException e) {
        throw new ClassCastException(activity.toString()
                + " must implement TextClicked");
    }

}

}

FragmentB looks like

class FragmentB extends Fragment {
public InterfaceDataCommunicator interfaceDataCommunicator;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    // call this inorder to send Data to interface
    interfaceDataCommunicator.updateData("data");
}

public interface InterfaceDataCommunicator {
    public void updateData(String data);
}

@Override
public void onAttach(Activity activity) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onAttach(activity);
    try {
        interfaceDataCommunicator = (InterfaceDataCommunicator) activity;
    } catch (ClassCastException e) {
        throw new ClassCastException(activity.toString()
                + " must implement TextClicked");
    }

}

}

Main Activity is

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements InterfaceDataCommunicator {
public InterfaceDataCommunicatorFromActivity interfaceDataCommunicatorFromActivity;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
    return true;
}

@Override
public void updateData(String data) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    interfaceDataCommunicatorFromActivity.updateData(data);

}

public interface InterfaceDataCommunicatorFromActivity {
    public void updateData(String data);
}

}
