How to implement OnFragmentInteractionListener

See your auto-generated Fragment created by Android Studio. When you created the new Fragment, Studio stubbed a bunch of code for you. At the bottom of the auto-generated template there is an inner interface definition called OnFragmentInteractionListener. Your Activity needs to implement this interface. This is the recommended pattern for your Fragment to notify your Activity of events so it can then take appropriate action, such as load another Fragment. See this page for details, look for the "Creating event callbacks for the Activity" section: http://developer.android.com/guide/components/fragments.html


Answers posted here did not help, but the following link did:

http://developer.android.com/training/basics/fragments/communicating.html

Define an Interface

public class HeadlinesFragment extends ListFragment {
    OnHeadlineSelectedListener mCallback;

    // Container Activity must implement this interface
    public interface OnHeadlineSelectedListener {
        public void onArticleSelected(int position);
    }

    @Override
    public void onAttach(Activity activity) {
        super.onAttach(activity);

        // This makes sure that the container activity has implemented
        // the callback interface. If not, it throws an exception
        try {
            mCallback = (OnHeadlineSelectedListener) activity;
        } catch (ClassCastException e) {
            throw new ClassCastException(activity.toString()
                    + " must implement OnHeadlineSelectedListener");
        }
    }

    ...
}

For example, the following method in the fragment is called when the user clicks on a list item. The fragment uses the callback interface to deliver the event to the parent activity.

@Override
public void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
    // Send the event to the host activity
    mCallback.onArticleSelected(position);
}

Implement the Interface

For example, the following activity implements the interface from the above example.

public static class MainActivity extends Activity
        implements HeadlinesFragment.OnHeadlineSelectedListener{
    ...

    public void onArticleSelected(int position) {
        // The user selected the headline of an article from the HeadlinesFragment
        // Do something here to display that article
    }
}

Update for API 23: 8/31/2015

Overrided method onAttach(Activity activity) is now deprecated in android.app.Fragment, code should be upgraded to onAttach(Context context)

@Override
public void onAttach(Context context) {
    super.onAttach(context);
}


@Override
public void onStart() {
    super.onStart();
    try {
        mListener = (OnFragmentInteractionListener) getActivity();
    } catch (ClassCastException e) {
        throw new ClassCastException(getActivity().toString()
                + " must implement OnFragmentInteractionListener");
    }
}

For those of you who still don't understand after reading @meda answer, here is my concise and complete explanation for this issue:

Let's say you have 2 Fragments, Fragment_A and Fragment_B which are auto-generated from the app. On the bottom part of your generated fragments, you're going to find this code:

public class Fragment_A extends Fragment {

    //rest of the code is omitted

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

public class Fragment_B extends Fragment {

    //rest of the code is omitted

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

To overcome the issue, you have to add onFragmentInteraction method into your activity, which in my case is named MainActivity2. After that, you need to implements all fragments in the MainActivity like this:

public class MainActivity2 extends ActionBarActivity
        implements Fragment_A.OnFragmentInteractionListener, 
                   Fragment_B.OnFragmentInteractionListener, 
                   NavigationDrawerFragment.NavigationDrawerCallbacks {
    //rest code is omitted

    @Override
    public void onFragmentInteraction(Uri uri){
        //you can leave it empty
    }
}

P.S.: In short, this method could be used for communicating between fragments. For those of you who want to know more about this method, please refer to this link.


For those of you who visit this page looking for further clarification on this error, in my case the activity making the call to the fragment needed to have 2 implements in this case, like this:

public class MyActivity extends Activity implements 
    MyFragment.OnFragmentInteractionListener, 
    NavigationDrawerFragment.NaviationDrawerCallbacks {
    ...// rest of the code
}
