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

To get current fragment - get position in ViewPager at public void onPageSelected(final int position), and then

public PlaceholderFragment getFragmentByPosition(Integer pos){
    for(Fragment f:getChildFragmentManager().getFragments()){
        if(f.getId()==R.viewpager && f.getArguments().getInt("SECTNUM") - 1 == pos) {
            return (PlaceholderFragment) f;
        }
    }
    return null;
}

SECTNUM - position argument assigned in public static PlaceholderFragment newInstance(int sectionNumber); of Fragment

getChildFragmentManager() or getFragmentManager() - depends on how created SectionsPagerAdapter

Answer 2

I know its too late but I have really simple ways of doing it,

// for fragment at 0 possition

((mFragment) viewPager.getAdapter().instantiateItem(viewPager, 0)).yourMethod();

Answer 3

You can declare an Array of fragment as register fragments

class DashboardPagerAdapter(fm: FragmentManager?) : FragmentStatePagerAdapter(fm!!) {
    // CURRENT FRAGMENT
    val registeredFragments = SparseArray<Fragment>()

    override fun instantiateItem(container: ViewGroup, position: Int): Any {
        val fragment = super.instantiateItem(container, position) as Fragment
        registeredFragments.put(position, fragment)
        return fragment
    }

    override fun getItem(position: Int): Fragment {
        return when (position) {
            0 -> HomeFragment.newInstance()
            1 -> ConverterDashboardFragment.newInstance()
            2 -> CartFragment.newInstance()
            3 -> CustomerSupportFragment.newInstance()
            4 -> ProfileFragment.newInstance()
            else -> ProfileFragment.newInstance()
        }
    }

    override fun getCount(): Int {
        return 5
    }

}

Then you can use it as

adapter?.let {
    val cartFragment = it.registeredFragments[2] as CartFragment?
    cartFragment?.myCartApi(true)
}

Answer 4

I have used the following:

 int index = vpPager.getCurrentItem();
 MyPagerAdapter adapter = ((MyPagerAdapter)vpPager.getAdapter());
 MyFragment suraVersesFragment = (MyFragment)adapter.getRegisteredFragment(index);

Answer 5

In my Activity I have:

int currentPage = 0;//start at the first tab
private SparseArray<Fragment> fragments;//list off fragments
viewPager.setOnPageChangeListener(new OnPageChangeListener() {

@Override
public void onPageSelected(int pos) {
        currentPage = pos;//update current page
}

@Override
public void onPageScrolled(int arg0, float arg1, int arg2) {}
@Override
public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int arg0) {}
});



@Override
public void onAttachFragment(Fragment fragment) {
    super.onAttachFragment(fragment);
    if(fragment instanceof Fragment1)
        fragments.put(0, fragment);
    if(fragment instanceof Fragment2)
        fragments.put(2, fragment);
    if(fragment instanceof Fragment3)
        fragments.put(3, fragment);
    if(fragment instanceof Fragment4)
        fragments.put(4, fragment);
}

Then I have the following method for getting the current fragment

public Fragment getCurrentFragment() {
    return fragments.get(currentPage);
}

Answer 6

Simply get the current item from pager and then ask your adapter to the fragment of that position.

 int currentItem = viewPager.getCurrentItem();
    Fragment item = mPagerAdapter.getItem(currentItem);
    if (null != item && item.isVisible()) {
       //do whatever want to do with fragment after doing type checking
        return;
    }
