passing argument to DialogFragment

Question

Using newInstance

public static MyDialogFragment newInstance(int num) {
    MyDialogFragment f = new MyDialogFragment();

    // Supply num input as an argument.
    Bundle args = new Bundle();
    args.putInt("num", num);
    f.setArguments(args);

    return f;
}

And get the Args like this

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    mNum = getArguments().getInt("num");
    ...
}

See the full example here

I used to send some values from my listview

How to send

mListview.setOnItemLongClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemLongClickListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
            Favorite clickedObj = (Favorite) parent.getItemAtPosition(position);

            Bundle args = new Bundle();
            args.putString("tar_name", clickedObj.getNameTarife());
            args.putString("fav_name", clickedObj.getName());

            FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
            TarifeDetayPopup userPopUp = new TarifeDetayPopup();
            userPopUp.setArguments(args);
            userPopUp.show(fragmentManager, "sam");

            return false;
        }
    });

How to receive inside onCreate() method of DialogFragment

    Bundle mArgs = getArguments();
    String nameTrife = mArgs.getString("tar_name");
    String nameFav = mArgs.getString("fav_name");
    String name = "";

// Kotlin upload

 val fm = supportFragmentManager
        val dialogFragment = AddProgFargmentDialog() // my custom FargmentDialog
        var args: Bundle? = null
        args?.putString("title", model.title);
        dialogFragment.setArguments(args)
        dialogFragment.show(fm, "Sample Fragment")

// receive

 override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        if (getArguments() != null) {
            val mArgs = arguments
            var myDay= mArgs.getString("title")
        }
    }

So there is two ways to pass values from fragment/activity to dialog fragment:-

1. Create dialog fragment object with make setter method and pass value/argument.

2. Pass value/argument through bundle.

Method 1:

// Fragment or Activity 
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
     DialogFragmentWithSetter dialog = new DialogFragmentWithSetter();
     dialog.setValue(header, body);
     dialog.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "DialogFragmentWithSetter");         
}


//  your dialog fragment
public class MyDialogFragment extends DialogFragment {
    String header; 
    String body;
    public void setValue(String header, String body) {   
          this.header = header;
          this.body = body;
    }
    // use above variable into your dialog fragment
}

Note:- This is not best way to do

Method 2:

// Fragment or Activity 
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
     DialogFragmentWithSetter dialog = new DialogFragmentWithSetter();
     
     Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
     bundle.putString("header", "Header");
     bundle.putString("body", "Body");  
     dialog.setArguments(bundle);
     dialog.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "DialogFragmentWithSetter");         
}


//  your dialog fragment
public class MyDialogFragment extends DialogFragment {
    String header; 
    String body;
    
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        if (getArguments() != null) {
             header = getArguments().getString("header","");
             body = getArguments().getString("body","");
        }
    }
    // use above variable into your dialog fragment
}

Note:- This is the best way to do.

as a general way of working with Fragments, as JafarKhQ noted, you should not pass the params in the constructor but with a Bundle.

the built-in method for that in the Fragment class is setArguments(Bundle) and getArguments().

basically, what you do is set up a bundle with all your Parcelable items and send them on.
in turn, your Fragment will get those items in it's onCreate and do it's magic to them.

the way shown in the DialogFragment link was one way of doing this in a multi appearing fragment with one specific type of data and works fine most of the time, but you can also do this manually.
