When orientation changes, fragment viewState
restored only in onStart
.
After onAttach
, onCreateView
, onViewCreated
and onActivityCreated
and even after onCreate
.
Why? This is too late.
I need to populate db query results to ListView based on some TextView value. Currently i try to do this in onViewCreated
. But view state isn't restored at this step.
Can i force restore early? Or how to overcome this problem? Any ideas, please.
PS: i use actionbarsherlock and dependent android support-v4 r7 library
PS2: if i will load data in onStart
then it will do additional queries when fragment is resumed after onStop
(i can solve this by adding some boolean isLoaded
- but this isn't best solution).
In Android API >= 17 (Android 4.2 Jelly Beans) there is a method:
public void onViewStateRestored (Bundle savedInstanceState)
which is called before onStart()
and after onActivityCreated()
as mentioned in docs.
In Android API < 17 there is no such method. But there are two solutions:
Fragment
and save all required initialization state as Fragment
state (i.e. override Fragment#onSaveInstanceState()
). Later you can restore fragment state in onCreate()
, onCreateView()
or onViewCreated()
.onStart()
as specified in question.[EDIT 1 - - - - - - -]
// Check to see if the Fragment back stack has been populated
// If not, create and populate the layout.
// so your fragment wont recreated
YourFragment yourFragment = (YourFragment )fm.findFragmentById(R.id.fragment_container);
if (yourFragment == null) {
FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.fragment_container, new YourFragment ());
ft.commit();
}
