How to get data from DialogFragment to a Fragment?

by

The Fragment.onActivityResult() method is useful in this situation. It takes getTargetRequestCode(), which is a code you set up between fragments so they can be identified. In addition, it takes a request code, normally just 0 if the code worked well, and then an Intent, which you can attach a string too, like so

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.putExtra("STRING_RESULT", str);

Also, the setTargetFragment(Fragment, requestCode) should be used in the fragment that the result is being sent from to identify it. Overall, you would have code in the requesting fragment that looks like this:

FragmentManager fm = getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager();
DialogFragment dialogFragment = new DialogFragment();
dialogFragment.setTargetFragment(this, REQUEST_CODE);
dialogFragment.show();

The class to send data (the DialogFragment) would use this Fragment we just defined to send the data:

private void sendResult(int REQUEST_CODE) {
    Intent intent = new Intent();
    intent.putStringExtra(EDIT_TEXT_BUNDLE_KEY, editTextString);
    getTargetFragment().onActivityResult(
        getTargetRequestCode(), REQUEST_CODE, intent);
}

To receive the data, we use this type of class in the Fragment which initially started the DialogFragment:

public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    // Make sure fragment codes match up 
    if (requestCode == DialogFragment.REQUEST_CODE) {
        String editTextString = data.getStringExtra(
            DialogFragment.EDIT_TEXT_BUNDLE_KEY);

At this point, you have the string from your EditText from the DialogFragment in the parent fragment. Just use the sendResult(int) method in your TextChangeListener() anonymous class so that the text is sent when you need it.
