How to get the fragment instance from the FragmentActivity?

To get the fragment instance in a class that extends FragmentActivity:

MyclassFragment instanceFragment=
    (MyclassFragment)getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.idFragment);

To get the fragment instance in a class that extends Fragment:

MyclassFragment instanceFragment =  
    (MyclassFragment)getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.idFragment);

You can use use findFragmentById in FragmentManager.

Since you are using the Support library (you are extending FragmentActivity) you can use:

getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.pageview)

If you are not using the support library (so you are on Honeycomb+ and you don't want to use the support library):

getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.pageview)

Please consider that using the support library is recommended even on Honeycomb+.
