IllegalStateException with PagerAdapter

Question

I am getting an IllegalStateException within this activity but not too sure what is going on. Here is the ViewPagerAdapter class in QuickContactActivity.

private class ViewPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
    public ViewPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fragmentManager) {
        super(fragmentManager);
    }

    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int position) {
        QuickContactListFragment fragment = new QuickContactListFragment();
        final String mimeType = mSortedActionMimeTypes.get(position);
        final List<Action> actions = mActions.get(mimeType);
        fragment.setActions(actions);
        return fragment;
    }

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

Here is the crash log:

Answer 1

I have similar problems like you did, i have viewpager on Activity A then when user clicked the item in the viewpager, it will go to Activity B that have viewpager too. After user back from Activity B to Activity A, it will throwing Exception like this:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: The application's PagerAdapter changed the adapter's contents without calling PagerAdapter#notifyDataSetChanged! Expected adapter item count: 4, found: 0 Pager id: com.gbu.app.templateforbussiness:id/header_view_pager_list Pager class: class android.support.v4.view.ViewPager Problematic adapter: class com.gbu.app.templateforbussiness.adapter.DetailProductPagerAdapter

I think the problem is, the data content that the adapter of the viewpager have always 0 because the adapter not have the data that passed through from Activity. So i tried it work like this example:

DetailProductActivity.class

public class DetailProductActivity extends FragmentActivity {
    private ViewPager product_detail_viewpager;
    private DetailProductPagerAdapter detail_product_adapter;
    private Intent product_detail_intent;
    public static List<Product> detail_product;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_detail_product);
        product_detail_viewpager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.detail_product_viewpager);
        detail_product = HomeActivity.home_product;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onStart() {
        super.onStart();
        product_detail_intent = getIntent();
        startApp(product_detail_intent);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onStop() {
        super.onStop();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    }

    private void startApp(Intent data) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            // pass the Array, List of data to viewpager adapter like this
        detail_product_adapter = new DetailProductPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager(), detail_product); 
        product_detail_viewpager.setAdapter(detail_product_adapter);
        product_detail_viewpager.setCurrentItem(data.getIntExtra("current_item", 0));
    }

}

And the adapter of viewpager: DetailProductPagerAdapter.class

public class DetailProductPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
    private ProductDetailFragment detail_product_fragment;
    private Bundle data;
    private List<Product> detail_product;

    // the data from Activity passed to this adapter        
    public DetailProductPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm, List<Product> p) {
        super(fm);
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
        detail_product = p;
    }

    // then passing the data again to your fragment class, like this example
    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        detail_product_fragment = new ProductDetailFragment(detail_product);
        data = new Bundle();
        data.putInt("current_item", arg0);
        detail_product_fragment.setArguments(data);
        return detail_product_fragment;
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return detail_product.size();
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemPosition(Object object) {
        return POSITION_NONE;
    }   

}

And the fragment class: ProductDetailFragment.class

@SuppressLint("ValidFragment")
public class ProductDetailFragment extends Fragment {
    private RelativeLayout detail_item_header;
    private ImageView detail_item_imv;
    private TextView detail_item_tv_title;
    private WebView detail_item_web_content;
    private DisplayMetrics detail_metrics;
    private List<Product> detail_product;
    private int index_item;

    // the data from adapter pass it to this fragment
    public ProductDetailFragment(List<Product> p) {
        detail_product = p;
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState);
        View view_detail = inflater.inflate(R.layout.item_product_detail_viewpager, container, false);
        detail_metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
        getActivity().getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(detail_metrics);
        savedInstanceState = getArguments();
        index_item = savedInstanceState.getInt("current_item");
        detail_item_header = (RelativeLayout) view_detail.findViewById(R.id.item_header_product_viewpager);
        detail_item_imv = (ImageView) detail_item_header.findViewById(R.id.item_imv_product_viewpager);
        detail_item_tv_title = (TextView) detail_item_header.findViewById(R.id.item_tv_title_product_viewpager);
        detail_item_web_content = (WebView) view_detail.findViewById(R.id.item_web_product_viewpager);
        startApp();
        return view_detail;
    }

    private void startApp() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        detail_item_header.getLayoutParams().height = (int) (detail_metrics.heightPixels * 0.38);
        if (detail_product.get(index_item).getStatus() == 0) {
            new loadImageProduct(detail_item_imv).execute(detail_product.get(index_item).getImage());
        }else {
            detail_item_imv.setImageBitmap(detail_product.get(index_item).getBmp());
        }
        detail_item_tv_title.setText(detail_product.get(index_item).getTitle());
        String web_content_product = "<!DOCTYPE html>"+
                                     "<html>"+
                                     "<body>"+
                                     "<p>Harga : "+detail_product.get(index_item).getPrice()+"</p><br>"+
                                     detail_product.get(index_item).getDetail()+"<br><br>"+
                                     detail_product.get(index_item).getDetail2()+
                                     "</body>"+
                                     "</html>";
        detail_item_web_content.loadDataWithBaseURL("https://www.google.com", web_content_product, "text/html", "UTF-8", null);
    }

    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
    }

    private class loadImageProduct extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, Bitmap> {
        private Bitmap b;
        private ImageView vimv;
        private GetImage get_image;

        public loadImageProduct(ImageView v) {
            vimv = v;
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPreExecute() {
            super.onPreExecute();
            b = null;
            get_image = new GetImage();
        }

        @Override
        protected Bitmap doInBackground(String...url) {
            try {
                b = get_image.loadImageFromServer(url[0]);
                if (b != null)
                    return b;
            } catch(OutOfMemoryError e) {

            }
            return b;
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(Bitmap result) {
            super.onPostExecute(result);
            if (result != null) {
                detail_product.get(index_item).setBmp(result);
                detail_product.get(index_item).setStatus(1);
                vimv.setImageBitmap(result);
            }
        }
    }

}

Now, the Exception before it will not showing anymore, and the viewpager works normally. This method trying make the viewpager like listview did, because listview will have passing the data through the adapter so the adapter will not lose the data content even the data have changed. I hope this example will help your problems. Cheers.

Answer 2

The problem is that your list of items/pages to show in the PageAdapter change and you dont call pageAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged().

If you continue read the message, says that wait for 0 items and get 1. With this, it's seems that you set the adapter before set all the items/pages that the adapter receive.
