onPageSelected doesn't work for first page

Question

My pager adapter ( extends PagerAdepter ) has a textview in it. And I update this textview with MainActivity\'s onPageSelected . Its update textview for position > 0 , but start

My solution was to extend pager adapter and create an interface inside it. Then make the adapter call the interface only once after creating the adapter. Inside interface callback you can call onPageChanged method without having nullpointerexception. Add this class to your project and extend your adapter from it. Dont forget to set listener to adapter before setting adapter to viewpager. Adapter class below:

public abstract class ExtendedPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {

private boolean instantiated;
private AdapterListener adapterListener;

public interface AdapterListener {
    void onAdapterInstantiated();
}

public ExtendedPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fragmentManager) {
    this(fragmentManager, null);
}

public ExtendedPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fragmentManager, AdapterListener adapterListener) {
    super(fragmentManager);
    this.adapterListener = adapterListener;
    instantiated = false;
}

@Override
public void finishUpdate(ViewGroup container) {
    super.finishUpdate(container);
    if (!instantiated) {
        instantiated = true;
        if (adapterListener != null) {
            adapterListener.onAdapterInstantiated();
        }
    }
}

public void setAdapterInstantiatedListener(AdapterListener adapterListener) {
    this.adapterListener = adapterListener;
}
}
