Inconsistency errors between android.support.v4.app and android.app

I'm trying to create an activity that shows some fragments. I'm following this example here: http://developer.android.com/training/animation/screen-slide.html, however there seems to be some missing code / inconsistencies. I've narrowed down many of the problems but I'm stuck on one part, though it seems it would be simple to someone that knows how this works.
private class ScreenSlidePagerAdapter extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {
public ScreenSlidePagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm); // error on fm
}
error underlines fm on super(fm);: "FragmentStatePagerAdapter (android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager) in FragmentStatePagerAdapter cannot be applied to (android.app.FragmentManager)"
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) { // error on Fragment
return ScreenSlidePageFragment.create(position);
}
error underlines Fragment on public Fragment getItem(int position) {: 'getItem(int)' in 'com.example.Application.ScreenSlideActivity.ScreenSlidePagerAdapter' clashes with 'getItem(int)' in 'android.support.v4.app.FragmentStatePagerAdapter'; attempting to use incompatible return type

I'm making a library application in which the navigation is by tabs, the problem is each time I go from the third tab to the first or the first to the third, the tab content is refreshing, I want to prevent the refresh, Any help please ?

By default, ViewPager recreates the fragments when you swipe the page. To prevent this, you can try one of three things:
1. In the onCreate() of your fragments, call setRetainInstance(true).
2. If the number of fragments is fixed & relatively small, then in your onCreate() add the following code:
mViewPager = (ViewPager)findViewById(R.id.pager);
mViewPager.setOffscreenPageLimit(limit); /* limit is a fixed integer*/
3. Use a FragmentPagerAdapter as part of your ViewPager.
If I remember correctly, the second option is more promising. But I urge you to try all three and see which of them work.

one has to instance the FragmentPagerAdapter first, then .getCount() will return a value -
while .getCount() - 1 should be set as the default off-screen limit:
TabsPagerAdapter adapter = new TabsPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
/* the ViewPager requires a minimum of 1 as OffscreenPageLimit */
int limit = (adapter.getCount() > 1 ? adapter.getCount() - 1 : 1);
ViewPager viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
viewPager.setOffscreenPageLimit(limit);

you can handle view recreation by check if the view is null or not
public class FragmentExample extends Fragment {
private View rootView;
public FragmentExample() {}
#Override
public View onCreateView(final LayoutInflater inflater, final ViewGroup container, final Bundle savedInstanceState) {
if (rootView == null) {
rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_example_layout, container, false);
// Initialise your layout here
} else {
((ViewGroup) rootView.getParent()).removeView(rootView);
}
return rootView;
}
}

In the onCreate() of your fragments, call setRetainInstance(true)

A bit late to this question, but thanks to Y.S., got to know how ViewPager works. I was building an app with 4 tabs and at any point of time, noticed that only two tabs were being refreshed, which I suppose was a default behaviour. After hours of investigation, I understood that Android refreshes multiple tabs to bring in a smooth swiping performance for the user - you might notice that you would have clicked tab2, but android brings in the data for tab3 and keeps it ready.
Though this behaviour is good, it has its pros and cons. Pros - you get a smooth swiping experience, without data being loaded from an external server when you land up in that tab. Cons-your backstack implementation in tabs could go for a toss. When you click a tab, the view pager actually calls smoother tab and you'll end up in a big trouble, if your methods are setting up backarrow (home) at the top left based on what is in the backstack in the clicked tab.
setOffscreenPageLimit is the answer to this. If you want your custom backstack framework to function, and do not want tab3 to be called when tab2 is clicked, you simply need to set the value to the number of tabs. For instance, if you have 4 tabs, set setOffScreePageLimit(4). This would mean that Android would refresh all the 4 fragments initially, which is a bit of a performance overhead (which you should manage properly). But, your backstack and tab switching remain intact. Hope this helps.

Since the activity implements ActionBar.TabListener, the activity's onCreate() is getting called again and again. So place the following code in onResume() method:
// Initilization
viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
actionBar = getActionBar();
mAdapter = new TabsPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
viewPager.setAdapter(mAdapter);
actionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(false);
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
// Adding Tabs
for (String tab_name : tabs) {
actionBar.addTab(actionBar.newTab().setText(tab_name)
.setTabListener(this));
}
/**
* on swiping the viewpager make respective tab selected
* */
viewPager.setOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onPageSelected(int position) {
// on changing the page
// make respected tab selected
actionBar.setSelectedNavigationItem(position);
}
#Override
public void onPageScrolled(int arg0, float arg1, int arg2) {
}
#Override
public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int arg0) {
}
});

In my case above suggestion does not work.
To restrict recreation of fragment, what i did:
In onCreateView you can store inflated view in a global variable and initialize it only if it is null, like in this code:
var root:View?=null
var apiDataReceived=false
override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater?, container: ViewGroup?,
savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
if (root==null)
root=inflater!!.inflate(R.layout.fragment_layout, container, false)
return root
}
Now if you are parsing some data and fill it into RecyclerView or any other View
Make a global variable like in above code apiDataReceived
Set it to true if you successfully parsed data.
Before apiCalls place a condition like this:
if (!apiDataReceived) {
apiCalls()
}
So if apiCalls() would be called only if data is not parsed.
Do your http calls and parsing or any other thing in method which called after onCreateView like onStart
The above code is in kotlin, If you are facing any issue, let me know in comments.

Android Studio: Creating a Swipe Tab Application that Reads Fragments. Forced Close

I'm essentially a new Android Studio developer and currently I am attempting to switch between 3 tabs for my program. Unfortunately, the program forces a close when I try to open things up. I'm not entirely sure where the problem lies since I declared an instance of the classes in regards to the tab.

I've looked on other websites for help on this, mostly they cover programs that are obsolete or don't cover the question completely, I have nothing else to turn to so any help on this problem I'd appreciate it.
Edit: I've learned it has to do with creating a .newinstance of the class but how this gets accomplished I haven't quite grasped yet.

You must implement OnFragmentInteractionListener inside your main activity.
change
public class Main extends Activity implements ActionBar.TabListener
to
public class Main extends Activity implements ActionBar.TabListener, OnFragmentInteractionListener
Then make sure your implement
public void onFragmentInteraction(Uri uri);
inside your main activity.
A little info on the new instance method. This is a common practice not a special method you are implementing. You can call it anything that you want but the idea is that new instance method takes your parameters and adds them to a bundle. when android destroys your fragment it gets recreated using its default constructor which does not have your data.
The solution is to use a new instance method and put your data in a bundle because when android recreates your fragment its bundle sticks around.
The only time you would not care about new instance is when you are not passing anything into your fragment.

It seems that this issue related to your Tab1 Fragment class. Also it seems that you created this Fragment class by android studio auto generated blank Fragment class.
For fixing this issue you can change codes of auto generated Fragment classes like Tab1 with code like below.
package com.example.android.actionbarcompat.styled;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
/**
* Created by taher on 1/7/15.
*/
public class MainFragment extends Fragment {
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.main_view, container, false);
}
}
If you want to use your Tab1 fragment class please not that below comment from your Fragment Class.
/**

public interface OnFragmentInteractionListener {
// TODO: Update argument type and name
public void onFragmentInteraction(Uri uri);
}

I had the same problem, and in my case,
delete
#Override
public void onAttach(Activity activity) {
super.onAttach(activity);
try {
mListener = (OnFragmentInteractionListener) activity;
} catch (ClassCastException e) {
throw new ClassCastException(activity.toString()
+ " must implement OnFragmentInteractionListener");
}
}
these code, problem solved

The return type is incompatible with FragmentPagerAdapter.getItem(int) More errors

I am receiving The return type is incompatible with FragmentPagerAdapter.getItem(int) for public void Fragment getItem(int position) at the bottom of the code. Error is coming from Fragment.
I have found some related topics on this error and I have tried to do them to fix the issue but nothing seems to solve the error or rather it fixes one error then 5 other errors open up, I try to fix those and again 30 errors open up. Any ideas?
I have changed import android.app.Fragment; to import android.support.v4.app.Fragment; and some other import changes and have gotten it down to this one error. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I included most of the code as I am not sure if I am making errors elsewhere. I believe it has to do with the import but I've tried many diff combinations and no luck.

If you are using import android.support.v13.app.FragmentPagerAdapter; from v13 support library you should use android.app.Fragment not v4 one. (with v13 you should use getFragmentManager())
Or if you want to use android.support.v4.app.Fragment you should use android.support.v4.app.FragmentPagerAdapter not v13 one (with v4 fragment you should use getSupportFragmentManager())

No view found for id for fragment PlaceholderFragment

I created a Main activity, which sends me to an ActiviteResultats activity.
My goal is now just to show a message in this activity (Message who come from the main).
I followed the Starting Another Activity tutorial.
The problem is, when I start the ActiviteResultats activity, I have an error:
"no view found for id 0x7f080000 ........... for fragment PlaceholderFragment"
... and the app shuts down.
I don't know yet how to use fragments, and the tutorial says I don't have to use it for this example.
Where am I going wrong?
My code :
package com.example.surveyor;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.Fragment;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class ActiviteResultats extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_activite_resultats);
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment()).commit();
}
String message = "TODO";
// Create the text view
TextView textView = new TextView(this);
textView.setTextSize(40);
textView.setText(message);
// Set the text view as the activity layout
setContentView(textView);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activite_resultats, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
/**
* A placeholder fragment containing a simple view.
*/
public static class PlaceholderFragment extends Fragment {
public PlaceholderFragment() {
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(
R.layout.fragment_activite_resultats, container, false);
return rootView;
}
}
}

I had the same problem. Just remove the part:
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment()).commit();
}
That solved it for me. Hope that helps!

A quick look over the tutorial shows that most of the Fragment code is removed in a later step. You could remove all the code related to the fragments, along with the bit about the options menu if you want to clear out all distractions. It's likely to solve your problem and isn't vital to that tutorial

What you need to do is to set up intent in your main activity, and then get it here so it goes like follows:
under Main_Activity.java
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.Main_Activity);
Intent i = new Intent(this,activiteResultats.class); // or getApplicationContext() <= for context
i.putExtras("TagOfMyMessage","MyMessageblablabla");
startActivity(i);
}
under ActivteResultats.java
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_activite_resultats);
Intent i = getIntent();
String message = i.getStringExtras(); // or something like it
// Create the text view
TextView textView = new TextView(this);
textView.setTextSize(40);
textView.setText(message);
// Set the text view as the activity layout
setContentView(textView);
}
You just don't need to use fragments if you want a clear and easy tutorial i advice you to check this one : http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/AndroidIntent/article.html
