Update Fragment from ViewPager

You need to implement getItemPosition(Object obj) method.

This method is called when you call

notifyDataSetChanged()

on your ViewPagerAdaper. Implicitly this method returns POSITION_UNCHANGED value that means something like this:
“Fragment is where it should be so don’t change anything.”

So if you need to update Fragment you can do it with:

  • Always return POSITION_NONE from getItemPosition() method. It which
    means: “Fragment must be always recreated”
  • You can create some update() method that will update your
    Fragment(fragment will handle updates itself)

Example of second approach:

public interface Updateable {
   public void update();
}


public class MyFragment extends Fragment implements Updateable {

   ...

   public void update() {
     // do your stuff
   }
}

And in FragmentPagerAdapter you’ll do something like this:

@Override
public int getItemPosition(Object object) {
   MyFragment f = (MyFragment ) object;
   if (f != null) {
      f.update();
   }
  return super.getItemPosition(object);
}

And if you’ll choose first approach it can looks like:

@Override
public int getItemPosition(Object object) {
   return POSITION_NONE;
}

Note: It’s worth to think a about which approach you’ll pick up.
