Getting the current Fragment instance in the viewpager

Question

Below is my code which has 3 Fragment classes each embedded with each of the 3 tabs on ViewPager. I have a menu option. As shown in the onOpt

Answer 1

This is the simplest hack:

fun getCurrentFragment(): Fragment? {
    return if (count == 0) null
    else instantiateItem(view_pager, view_pager.currentItem) as? Fragment
}

(kotlin code)

Just call instantiateItem(viewPager, viewPager.getCurrentItem() and cast it to Fragment. Your item would already be instantiated. To be sure you can add a check for getCount.

Works with both FragmentPagerAdapter and FragmentStatePagerAdapter!
