How to handle configuration change for fragment with view model

I want to make my fragment wont re-load the data when configuration change with view model.
So, i try to make an App about gitHub User.
My Main Activity contain Search view to search user and show the result with recyclerview.
My Detail Activity is showing the detail of user when one of user in the list clicked, and in my detail activity i use Tab Layout and view pager to show user's followers and following.
My ViewModel for activity works well and can keep my data when orientation change.
But when i do the same to my fragment, my fragment keep re-loading new data when orientation change.
Here my fragment
i use View Model to request data
public class FollowingFragment extends Fragment {
public static final String KEY_FOLLOWING = "key_following";
private RecyclerView recyclerView;
private FollowingViewModel followingViewModel;
private FollowingAdapter followingAdapter;
ShimmerFrameLayout shimmerFrameLayout;
LinearLayoutManager layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getContext(), LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL, false);
ArrayList<FollowingResponse> followingResponse = new ArrayList<>();
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_following, container, false);
}
#Override
public void onViewCreated(#NonNull View view, #Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
recyclerView = view.findViewById(R.id.rv_following);
shimmerFrameLayout = view.findViewById(R.id.shimmer_frame_layout2);
followingViewModel = ViewModelProviders.of(this).get(FollowingViewModel.class);
followingAdapter = new FollowingAdapter();
followingAdapter.setOnItemClickCallback(new FollowingAdapter.OnItemClickCallback() {
#Override
public void onItemClicked(FollowingResponse followingResponse) {
showSelectedItem(followingResponse);
}
});
//this is what i've tried and worked, but my fragment result with double or triple the data.
if (savedInstanceState == null){
}
else {
followingResponse = savedInstanceState.getParcelableArrayList(KEY_FOLLOWING);
}
showRecyclerView();
getData();
}
private void getData() {
followingViewModel.setDataFollowing(DetailUserActivity.clickedUser);
followingViewModel.getDataFollowing().observe(getViewLifecycleOwner(), new Observer<ArrayList<FollowingResponse>>() {
#Override
public void onChanged(ArrayList<FollowingResponse> followingResponses) {
shimmerFrameLayout.setVisibility(View.GONE);

followingAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
});

im trying to solve my FollowingFragment first, then ill do the same on my FollowerFragment.
im really new in programming, and have no one to ask.. can someone help me to solve my problem with keep data in fragment when orientation change?

followingViewModel = ViewModelProviders.of(this).get(FollowingViewModel.class);
In Fragment insted of writing this code in onViewCreated() write it inside OnCreate()
onViewCreated() will get called everytime the orientation changes so it will create new instance of view model everytime the orientation changes making viewmodel to reload the data

If you need to load data only once for the FollowingViewModel a good place to do it should be inside the constructor of the view model in this way you won't need to worry about the orientation change of the fragment.

How to create an custom alertDialog from a tabbed fragment?

Problem:
I'm trying to open a custom dialog after pressing a button in my tabbed fragment.
It's seems like my MainActivity activity is sent to the dialog while i want my tabbed fragment(GroupFragment) to be sent so i can change the editText(for now) in this fragment.
Code:
public class GroupFragment extends Fragment implements AddGroupDialog.AddGroupDialogListener {
private Button addGroupButton;
private TextView textViewNoGroups;
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,

// Inflate the layout for this fragment

textViewNoGroups = view.findViewById(R.id.textViewNoGroups);
addGroupButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
addNewGroupDialog();
}
});
scaleAnimation(addGroupButton);
return view;
}

I hope my explanation of the problem is clear. Thank you!

Make the activity implement your interfaces and so on and then pass all data to the fragment with an method on the fragment. You will need an reference to actual Fragment that is displayed.
In your fragment add a method similar to this:
public void updateData(String data) {
editText.setText(data);
}
And in the override method of the interface in your activity to this:
#Override
public void update(String data) {
fragment.updateData(data);
}
Update
Use this Adapter instead:
public class SectionTabAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
private ArrayList<Fragment> fragments = new ArrayList<>();
private ArrayList<String> titles = new ArrayList<>();
public SectionTabAdapter(#NonNull FragmentManager fm, int behavior) {
super(fm, behavior);
}
public void addFragment(Fragment fragment, String title) {
fragments.add(fragment);
titles.add(title);
}
#NonNull
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
return fragments.get(position);
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return fragments.size();
}
#Nullable
#Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
return titles.get(position);
}
}
In your activity then do this:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
SectionsPagerAdapter sectionTabAdapter = new SectionTabAdapter(this, getSupportFragmentManager());
Fragment groupFragment = new GroupFragment();
Fragment attendanceFragment = new AttendanceFragment();
Fragment statisticsFragment = new StatisticsFragment();
sectionTabAdapter.addFragment(groupFragment, context.getString(R.string.title_1);
sectionTabAdapter.addFragment(attendanceFragment, context.getString(R.string.title_2);
sectionTabAdapter.addFragment(statisticsFragment, context.getString(R.string.title_3);
ViewPager viewPager = findViewById(R.id.view_pager);
viewPager.setAdapter(sectionTabAdapter);
TabLayout tabs = findViewById(R.id.tabs);
tabs.setupWithViewPager(viewPager);
}

Android: how to replace/delete a fragment inside section pager adapter in TabLayout

:)
I'm writing an Android app which do a lot of things, but i have an issue with java GUI code and i'm not able to go on.
What I would like to achieve is a TabLayout gui user-editable. The user could add , remove or modify section. I write all the code that let me add section. To do this i used a Section Pager Adapter as shown
class SectionsPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
public ArrayList<Fragment> mfragList;
public ArrayList<String> mfragtit;
public SectionsPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm, ArrayList<Fragment> mFragList, ArrayList<String> mFragTit) {
super(fm);
this.mfragList=mFragList;
this.mfragtit=mFragTit;
}
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
return this.mfragList.get(position);
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return this.mfragList.size();
}
#Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
return this.mfragtit.get(position);
}
public void addFrag(Fragment frag, String tit){
this.mfragList.add(frag);
this.mfragtit.add(tit);
}
public void delFrag(int index){
this.mfragList.remove(index-1);
this.mfragtit.remove(index-1);
}
}
Well, i'm new in Android and what i've understand about this code is that this class, when called, takes two Arraylist: mfragList and mfragtit which contains the fragment of each section and its title. Then when this adapter is created it is set as the adapter of view pager, which it should be the object that contain the view.
So I get the first issue when i tried to delete one section. To do this i thought to delete both title and fragment from adapter, then notifydatasetChanged and then set again the adapter for the view pager. But it actually don't works (even if I only notifydatasetChanged while don't set adapter again).
What I do in MainActivity is something like this:
ad.delFrag(parseInt(elim_i)+1); //ad is the adapter declared as field
ad.notifyDataSetChanged();
mViewPager.setAdapter(ad);
TabLayout tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tabs);
tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(mViewPager);
The issue was that it delete the right title but the wrong fragment, infact it ever delete the last fragment in mfragList
Any help gonna be appreciated.
Thank you guys.

FragmentAdapter internal have cache with loaded fragment. So that it's behaving like this. Try this adapter
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private TabLayout mTabLayout;
private ViewPager mViewPager;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mTabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tab_layout);
mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.view_pager);
List<Fragment> fragmentList = new ArrayList<>();
List<String> title = new ArrayList<>();
for (int i =0; i < 3; i++) {
fragmentList.add(new SampleViewPagerFragment());
title.add("Fragment #" + i);
}
final CustomPagerAdapter adapter = new CustomPagerAdapter(fragmentList, title);
mViewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
mTabLayout.setupWithViewPager(mViewPager);
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
adapter.removeFragmentAtPosition(2);
}
}, 3000);
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
adapter.addFragmentToAdapter("Title", new SampleViewPagerFragment());
}
}, 6000);
}
private static class CustomPagerAdapter extends PagerAdapter {
private List<Fragment> mFragmentList = new ArrayList<>();
private List<String> mTitle = new ArrayList<>();
CustomPagerAdapter(List<Fragment> mFragmentList, List<String> mTitle) {
this.mFragmentList = mFragmentList;
this.mTitle = mTitle;
}
#Override
public Object instantiateItem(ViewGroup container, int position) {
return mFragmentList.get(position);
}
#Override
public void destroyItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
super.destroyItem(container, position, object);
container.removeViewAt(position);
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return mFragmentList.size();
}
#Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
return mTitle.get(0);
}
#Override
public boolean isViewFromObject(View view, Object object) {
return (view == object);
}
void removeFragmentAtPosition(int position) {
mTitle.remove(position);
mFragmentList.remove(position);
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
void addFragmentToAdapter(String title, Fragment fragment) {
mTitle.add(title);
mFragmentList.add(fragment);
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}
}

image viewpager onclicklistener issue

Used ViewPager for images sliding, when clicking on each image must do an action, its different action from image to another,
I'm new to android development
so I try to add onClick listener to ViewPager, but I can't achieve it,
please any suggestion how to implement OnClickListener so when I click the first image will do action and when click the second image will do another action and so on for all images, I have it inside the view pager
thanks in advance.
MainActivity:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
ViewPager viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.view_pager);
ImageAdapter adapter = new ImageAdapter(this);
viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
}
}
ImageAdapter:
public class ImageAdapter extends PagerAdapter {
Context context;
private int[] GalImages = new int[] {
R.drawable.a,
R.drawable.b,
R.drawable.c,
R.drawable.d,
R.drawable.g,
R.drawable.h,
};
ImageAdapter(Context context){
this.context=context;
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return GalImages.length;
}
#Override
public boolean isViewFromObject(View view, Object object) {
return view == ((ImageView) object);
}
#Override
public Object instantiateItem(ViewGroup container, int position) {
ImageView imageView = new ImageView(context);
intpadding=context.getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.activity_horizontal_margin);
imageView.setPadding(padding, padding, padding, padding);
imageView.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER_INSIDE);
imageView.setImageResource(GalImages[position]);
((ViewPager) container).addView(imageView, 0);
return imageView;
}
#Override
public void destroyItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
((ViewPager) container).removeView((ImageView) object);
}
}

To catch click events in ViewPager you have to override onTouchListener, since default implementation is not made to handle clicks
Your MainActivity should look something like this:
private ViewPager mViewPager;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mViewPager= (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.view_pager);
ImageAdapter adapter = new ImageAdapter(this);
mViewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
final GestureDetector tapGestureDetector = new GestureDetector(this, new TapGestureListener());
mViewPager.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
tapGestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event);
return false;
}
});
}
private class TapGestureListener extends GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener {
#Override
public boolean onSingleTapConfirmed(MotionEvent e) {
if (mViewPager.getCurrentItem() == 0) {
//do your thing tied with first page
} else if (mViewPager.getCurrentItem() == 1) {
//do your thing tied with second page
} else if (mViewPager.getCurrentItem() == 2) {
//do your thing tied with third page
}
return super.onSingleTapConfirmed(e);
}
}

Try this:
#Override
public Object instantiateItem(View collection, final int pos) { //have
to make final so we can see it inside of onClick()
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) collection.getContext()
.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View page = inflater.inflate(R.layout.YOUR_PAGE, null);
page.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View v){
//this will log the page number that was click do your action
according to position
Log.i("TAG", "This page was clicked: " + pos);
}
});
((ViewPager) collection).addView(page, 0);
return page;
}

How to stop tab change from running fragment onCreateView in Andriod

I have three tabs using the implementation below and they perform very well. When tab is changed the proper fragment is load and so on. The problem is that, when i get to the last tab and comeback to the first fragment, its like its oncreateview method is always triggered again running the other codes it in causing duplicates. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

So when i swipe back here from the last tab. OncreateView runs again. How can i handle that and prevent duplicates. Thank you

By defaults ViewPager retains only 1 page in the view hierarchy in an idle state.So when you swipe to third tab the viepager destroys the first tab in order to retain the second one.
To solve this issue add this line
viewPager.setOffscreenPageLimit(3);
after you set your adapter.
Check here the documentation for more
