My code :

    public class SampleAdapter extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {

    private Fragment mFragmentAtPos2;
    private FragmentManager mFragmentManager;
    private Fragment[] mFragments = new Fragment[3];


    public SampleAdapter(FragmentManager mgr) {
        super(mgr);
        mFragmentManager = mgr;
        Bundle hack = new Bundle();
        try {
            for (int i = 0; i < mFragments.length; i++) {
                hack.putInt("hack", i);
                mFragments[i] = mFragmentManager.getFragment(hack, "hack");
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // No need to fail here, likely because it's the first creation and mActive is empty
        }

    }

    public void switchFrag(Fragment frag) {

        if (frag == null) {
            Dbg.e(TAG, "- switch(frag) frag is NULL");
            return;
        } else Dbg.v(TAG, "- switch(frag) - frag is " + frag.getClass());
        // We have to check for mFragmentAtPos2 null in case of first time (only Mytrips fragment being instatiante).
        if (mFragmentAtPos2!= null) 
            mFragmentManager.beginTransaction()  
                .remove(mFragmentAtPos2)
                .commit();
        mFragmentAtPos2 = frag;
        notifyDataSetChanged();
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return(3);
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemPosition(Object object) {
        Dbg.v(TAG,"getItemPosition : "+object.getClass());
        if (object instanceof MyTripsFragment

            return POSITION_NONE;
        else return POSITION_UNCHANGED;

    }

    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int position) {
        Dbg.v("SampleAdapter", "getItem called on: "+position);
        switch (position) {
        case 0:
