Method to refresh Fragment content when data changed ( like recall onCreateView)

Question

I have an Activity with a fragment container in layout. 3 different Fragment can be displayed in it. These fragments contains a Listview which displays data with custom Adapter i made.

So each list elements is created during onCreateView, after i queried a database to have data.

But sometimes some data may changes in my database, so i would like to redraw/recreate it the Listview.

• What would be the best way (i mean, the less ressources demanding) to refresh my fragment view ?
• Is there a method to recall onCreateView manually ?

Answer 1

Combined two answers and removed if (isVisibleToUser), because it makes the setUserVisibleHint be called in an unpredicted asynchroneous order and fragment can either be refreshed or not. I found this piece of code stable (in your Fragment):

@Override
public void setUserVisibleHint(boolean isVisibleToUser) {

super.setUserVisibleHint(isVisibleToUser);

  // Refresh tab data:

  if (getFragmentManager() != null) {

    getFragmentManager()
      .beginTransaction()
      .detach(this)
      .attach(this)
      .commit();
  }
}
