call fragment method from activity code example

Example 1: how to open an activity from a fragment

Button btn1 = (Button) thisLayout
            .findViewById(R.id.btnDb1);

    btn1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), otherActivity.class);
            ((MainActivity) getActivity()).startActivity(intent);

        }
    });

    return thisLayout;
}

Example 2: pass data from activity to fragment android

Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString("edttext", "From Activity");
// set Fragmentclass Arguments
Fragmentclass fragobj = new Fragmentclass();
fragobj.setArguments(bundle);

And inside fragment:

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    String strtext = getArguments().getString("edttext");    
    return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment, container, false);
}
