Android - getIntent() from a Fragment

You can use a getIntent() with Fragments but you need to call getActivity() first. Something like getActivity().getIntent().getExtras().getString("image") could work.

You can also achieve this with Fragment using setArguments() and getArguments(), like the following:

MyFragment fragment = new MyFragment();
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString("image", fileName);
fragment.setArguments(bundle);//Here pass your data

Now inside your fragment class ,for example inside onCreate() or onCreateView() do the following:

String fileName = this.getArguments().getString("image");

It's not that you can't pass data, it's that you don't want to.

From the Fragment documentation:

Often you will want one Fragment to communicate with another, for example to change the content based on a user event. All Fragment-to-Fragment communication is done through the associated Activity. Two Fragments should never communicate directly.

If you take a look at the Fragment documentation, it should walk you through how to do this.
