setUserVisibleHint called before onCreateView in Fragment

by 
// create boolean for fetching data
private boolean isViewShown = false;

@Override
public void setUserVisibleHint(boolean isVisibleToUser) {
    super.setUserVisibleHint(isVisibleToUser);
    if (getView() != null) {
        isViewShown = true;
        // fetchdata() contains logic to show data when page is selected mostly asynctask to fill the data
        fetchData();
    } else {
        isViewShown = false;
    }
}

Use isViewShown instance variable to decide whether to fetch data in onCreateView() or in setUserVisibleHint().

Below code contains logic for onCreateView():

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.main_layout, container, false);

   // view initialization steps.......

   if (!isViewShown) {
        fetchData();
   } 
   // do other stuff
}

This code will solve your problem. As It solved my problem. 🙂

This trick will fetch data in onCreateView() for direct jumping from one page to another, whereas when you swipe the view it will fetch the data from setUserVisibleHint() method. 🙂
