How to make a callback between Activity and Fragment?
Sample for creating callback from Fragment to Activity
public interface CallBackListener {
void onCallBack();// pass any parameter in your onCallBack which you want to return
}
CallBackFragment.class
public class CallBackFragment extends Fragment {
private CallBackListener callBackListener;
public CallBackFragment() {
// Required empty public constructor
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_call_back, container, false);
}
@Override
public void onActivityCreated(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
//getActivity() is fully created in onActivityCreated and instanceOf differentiate it between different Activities
if (getActivity() instanceof CallBackListener)
callBackListener = (CallBackListener) getActivity();
}
@Override
public void onViewCreated(View view, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
Button btn = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.btn_click);
btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(callBackListener != null)
callBackListener.onCallBack();
}
});
}
}
CallbackHandlingActivity.class
public class CallbackHandlingActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements CallBackListener
{
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_all_user);
}
@Override
public void onCallBack() {
Toast.makeText(mContext,"onCallback Called",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
As I said in my comment, I resolved this issue using onAttach
method in my fragment, but in this way you have to have the callback field (mLogoutUser in this case) declared in the fragment, and initialize it this way:
public class MyFragment extends ListFragment {
LogoutUser mLogoutUser;
// Container Activity must implement this interface
public interface LogoutUser {
public void logout();
}
@Override
public void onAttach(Context context) {
super.onAttach(context);
// This makes sure that the container activity has implemented
// the callback interface. If not, it throws an exception
try {
mLogoutUser = (LogoutUser) context;
} catch (ClassCastException e) {
throw new ClassCastException(context.toString()
+ " must implement LogoutUser");
}
}
...
}
More info in Communicating with Other Fragments.
But if your case is the field declared in the activity, you can use the onAttachFragment
method from your activity to initialize your listener field this way:
@Override
public void onAttachFragment(Fragment fragment) {
super.onAttachFragment(fragment);
mLogoutUser = (LogoutUser) fragment;
}
Also, you can use an event bus to make this communication between fragments and activities. An option is the Otto library, from Square.
Android Fragments - Communicating with Activity
You need to get a reference to your fragment with getFragmentById()
or getFragmentByTag()
getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.example_fragment);
