Sending Bundle with Fragment Transaction

Question

Here is my code that is not working:

// Sending bundle this way:

        String topUser = String.valueOf(scores.get(arg2));          Bundle data = new Bundle();         data.putString("userprofile", topUser);          FragmentTransaction t = getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager()                 .beginTransaction();         SherlockListFragment mFrag = new ProfileFragment();         mFrag.setArguments(data);         t.replace(R.id.main_frag, mFrag);         t.commit(); 

// Retrieving this way:

        Bundle extras = getActivity().getIntent().getExtras();         userName = extras.getString("userprofile"); 

Basically, the data isn't received. Am I on the right track or is there a better way of doing this?

Answer 1

You should be using the getArguments() method of the Fragment class. So put something like the following inside your Fragment:

Bundle extras = getArguments();
