I'm working in an app where I have just implemented the ViewPager. I was first working with tabs but when I made the change to ViewPager I started having an issue with the data transfer from Activity to fragments.
I finally found this post where this issue was explained and where recomends to use LocalBroadcastManager to send data from Activity to Frament when using ViewPager. I have implemented this code and works fine:
Fragment1.java
public class Fragment1 extends Fragment {
public static final String ACTION_INTENT = "fragment1.action.BOX_UPDATE";
/*Register the receiver*/
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(ACTION_INTENT);
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(getActivity()).registerReceiver(ActivityDataReceiver, filter);
}
/*Broadcast Receiver*/
protected BroadcastReceiver ActivityDataReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if(ACTION_INTENT.equals(intent.getAction())) {
String text = intent.getStringExtra("TEXT");
witeOnBox(text);
}
}
};
/*Method which changes the text with the icoming value*/
public void witeOnBox(String text) {
tv_log.setText(text);
}
/*Unregister receiver*/
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(getActivity()).unregisterReceiver(ActivityDataReceiver);
super.onDestroy();
}
Now, in MainActivity I send the data to the fragment this way:
protected void sendValueToFragment1(String text) {
Intent intent = new Intent("fragment1.action.BOX_UPDATE");
intent.putExtra("TEXT", text);
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).sendBroadcast(intent);
}
Now I need to send other data from MainActivity to the same Fragment1, and my question is, how do I manage in the fragment the incoming of another intent?
Do I have to create another BroadcastReceiver to manage a new Intent, or can I manage a new intent in the same BroadcastRecevier? I see that I can check using an if
inside the onReceive() method of the BroadcastReceiver for the incoming intent filter, but If I declare two diferent intent filters in the same fragment, how do I asign them to the BroadcastReceiver?
I finally solved adding an Action to the previously defined IntentFilter:
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(ACTION_INTENT);
filter.addAction(ACTION_INTENT2);
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(getActivity()).registerReceiver(ActivityDataReceiver, filter);
}
Then in the BroadcastReceiver I manage the incoming actions:
protected BroadcastReceiver ActivityDataReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if(ACTION_INTENT.equals(intent.getAction())) {
//Do
}
if(ACTION_INTENT2.equals(intent.getAction())) {
//DO
}
}
};
