Fragments in ViewPager not loaded when the containing Fragment is recreated

Question

I have a Fragment MyFragment vith a ViewPager containing more Fragment. It works properly the first time I load MyFragment, but if I go back and recreate it, the Fragments in the ViewPager are not shown because the method FragmentPagerAdapter.getItem is not called.

I'm using

What's wrong?

import android.app.Fragment;
import android.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v13.app.FragmentPagerAdapter;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;
...

public class MyFragment extends Fragment {

    private ViewPager pager;
    private MyPagerAdapter adapter;

    private List<Fragment> fragmentList = new ArrayList<Fragment>();

    public MyFragment() {}

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                 Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.my_fragment_layout, container, false);
    }

    public void onViewCreated(View v, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onViewCreated(v, savedInstanceState);

        indicators = (PagerSlidingIndicator) v.findViewById(R.id.indicators);
        pager = (ViewPager) v.findViewById(R.id.pager);

        Fragment fragment1 = new Fragment1();
        fragmentList.add(fragment1);

        Fragment fragment2 = new Fragment2();
        fragmentList.add(fragment2);

        Fragment fragment3 = new Fragment3();
        fragmentList.add(fragment3);

        adapter = new IndicatorPagerAdapter(getFragmentManager());
        pager.setAdapter(adapter);
    }

    public class MyPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {

        public MyPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
            super(fm);
        }

        @Override
        public int getCount() {
            return fragmentList.size();
        }

        @Override
        public Fragment getItem(int position) {
            return fragmentList.get(position);
        }
    }
}

If you are using nested fragments ("I have a Fragment MyFragment vith a ViewPager containing more Fragment"), you need to use getChildFragmentManager(), not getFragmentManager(), when setting up your FragmentPagerAdapter.
