Android - How do I manage multiple instances of a single fragment with different content?

Question

I want to be able to setText and getText of Views of individual Fragments. As it is now, when I setText of a Framgent\'s TextView it changes the text of that View in all Fra

Answer 1

Fragments are added to stack with a parameter named tag. In your case you've added your fragment with "testtag".

fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.test_fragment, fragment, "testtag");

If you create multiple instances of same fragment and add them with unique tags, then you are able to get them with that unique tags. When you get a fragment then you can reach its content.

FragmentManager fm = this.getSupportFragmentManager();
Fragment testtagFragment = fm.findFragmentByTag("testtag"); 
View targetView = testtagFragment.getView().findViewById(R.id.anyViewInsideContentOfYourFragment);

Edit:

I want to be able to setText and getText of Views of individual Fragments.

This question has 2 parts.

1. To setText while initializing you have to pass your initial parameters to your fragment while creating its instance. I suggest you to use a static newInstance method for this. See sample here
2. To getText read my answer above. Note that, you can get the content of a fragment after its onCreateView method is executed. So If you try to call getView method of a fragment at your activities onCreate method (after you add the fragment), that will return null. You can get its content successfully under a click event to test that, and use get or set operations of any view on that fragment's content.
