Using intent to call a fragment from another fragment

Question

I am using a viewpager control to host three fragments.I have placed a button in each fragment to go to the next fragment.So i wanted to know as how to go from one fragment to another using intent?

The main purpose is to create a sign up form which has been divided into three fragments.The code is shown below:

The main activity:

package pl.looksok.viewpagerdemo;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnTouchListener;

public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {
    ViewPager pager;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        MyPagerAdapter pageAdapter = new MyPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
         pager = (ViewPager)findViewById(R.id.myViewPager);
        pager.setAdapter(pageAdapter);

    }

}

The first fragment:

package pl.looksok.viewpagerdemo;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;

public class FragmentBlue extends Fragment {
Button btnnext1;
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_blue, container, false);
        btnnext1=(Button) view.findViewById(R.id.btnnext1);

        btnnext1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                 Intent intent = new Intent(view.getContext(), FragmentGreen.class);
                    view.getContext().startActivity(intent);
                    getActivity().finish();

            }
        });

        return view;
    }
}

The second fragment:

package pl.looksok.viewpagerdemo;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;

public class FragmentGreen extends Fragment {
Button btnnext2;
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_green, container, false);
        btnnext2=(Button) view.findViewById(R.id.btnnext2);
        btnnext2.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                Intent intent = new Intent(view.getContext(), FragmentPink.class);
                view.getContext().startActivity(intent);
                getActivity().finish();

            }
        });
        return view;
    }
}

The third fragment:

package pl.looksok.viewpagerdemo;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;

public class FragmentPink extends Fragment {
Button btnnext3;
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_pink, container, false);
        btnnext3=(Button) view.findViewById(R.id.btnnext3);
        btnnext3.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {


            }
        });
        return view;
    }
}

The adapter for the viewpager:

package pl.looksok.viewpagerdemo;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentPagerAdapter;

public class MyPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {

    private List<Fragment> fragments;

    public MyPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
        super(fm);
        this.fragments = new ArrayList<Fragment>();
        fragments.add(new FragmentBlue());
        fragments.add(new FragmentGreen());
        fragments.add(new FragmentPink());
    }

    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int position) {
        return fragments.get(position);
    }

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

The custom class for the viewpager:

package pl.looksok.viewpagerdemo;

import android.content.Context;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.MotionEvent;

public class CustomViewPager extends ViewPager {

    private boolean isPagingEnabled = false;

    public CustomViewPager(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public CustomViewPager(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
        return this.isPagingEnabled && super.onTouchEvent(event);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
        return this.isPagingEnabled && super.onInterceptTouchEvent(event);
    }

    public void setPagingEnabled(boolean b) {
        this.isPagingEnabled = b;
    }
}

The code which i am using now shows the following error on clicking the first button:

So the question is how to use intent in between fragments.Is there a better way to divide the sign up form into three parts without using viewpager?

Answer 1

You can't call your Fragment like this,

  Intent intent = new Intent(view.getContext(), FragmentGreen.class);
  view.getContext().startActivity(intent);
  getActivity().finish();

you need to call your fragment like this way

    FragmentManager fm = getFragmentManager();
    FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
    FragmentGreen llf = new FragmentGreen();
    ft.replace(R.id.listFragment, llf);
    ft.commit();

Intent is basically used for call one activity from another. For add new Fragment you can't use Intent. For that you have to use FragmentManager and for open fragment FragmentTransaction.
