Class FragmentStatePagerAdapter

java.lang.Object

PagerAdapter

universum.studios.android.pager.adapter.FragmentStatePagerAdapter

public abstract class FragmentStatePagerAdapter
extends PagerAdapter

A PagerAdapter implementation that represents each page as a Fragment. This pager adapter also handles saving and restoring state of its fragments.

This version of the pager adapter is more useful when there are a large number of pages, working more like a list view. When pages are not visible to a user, their entire fragment may be destroyed, only keeping the saved state of that fragment. This allows to the pager to hold on to much less memory associated with each visited page as compared to FragmentPagerAdapter at the cost of potentially more overhead when switching between pages.

Note, that when using FragmentStatePagerAdapter, the host ViewPager must have a valid ID set, otherwise this adapter implementation will throw an exception.

The inheritance hierarchies only need to implement getItem(int) and #getCount() to become a fully working adapters.

Not persistent data set

If this adapter is used with not-persistent data set like Cursor it is essential to override also getItemId(int) and provide item id for the requested position as this adapter tracks and stores its created fragments by theirs associated item ids. Item ids are also used to store states of the adapter's fragments. Also note, that #getItemPosition(Object) method should be implemented in a way which can properly resolve whether a fragment should be still visible at its current position, moved to a different position or to be completely removed due to changes in the data set.

Constructor Detail

FragmentStatePagerAdapter

public FragmentStatePagerAdapter(android.app.FragmentManager fragmentManager)

Creates a new instance of FragmentStatePagerAdapter with the specified fragmentManager.

Parameters:

fragmentManager - The manager used to manage fragments provided by the pager adapter.

Method Detail

startUpdate

public void startUpdate(android.view.ViewGroup container)

instantiateItem

public Object instantiateItem(android.view.ViewGroup container,
                              int position)

setMakeItemTags

protected final void setMakeItemTags(boolean makeItemTags)

Sets a boolean flag indicating whether this pager adapter should make tags for its items or not.

This feature is by default enabled.

Parameters:

makeItemTags - True to enable making of item tags, false otherwise.

See Also:

makeItemTag(int, long)

makeItemTag

protected String makeItemTag(int containerId,
                             long itemId)

Makes a tag for an item with the given itemId.

By default making of item tags is disabled and the default implementation makes tag in the following format:

 "android:pager:CONTAINER_ID:ITEM_ID"
 

This feature may be enabled/disabled via setMakeItemTags(boolean).

Parameters:

containerId - Id of the associated view pager container.

itemId - Id of the item for which to create its corresponding tag.

Returns:

Item's tag or null if this adapter does not create tags for its items.

getItemId

public long getItemId(int position)

Returns a unique identifier for the item at the specified position.

The default implementation returns the given position. The inheritance hierarchies should override this method if the positions of items can change.

Parameters:

position - Position from the range of size of this this adapter.

Returns:

Unique identifier for the item at the requested position.

getItem

public abstract android.app.Fragment getItem(int position)

Instantiates a new Fragment associated with the specified position.

See Also:

instantiateItem(ViewGroup, int)

setPrimaryItem

public void setPrimaryItem(android.view.ViewGroup container,
                           int position,
                           Object object)

getPrimaryFragment

public android.app.Fragment getPrimaryFragment()

Returns the fragment instance that has been set as primary item via setPrimaryItem(ViewGroup, int, Object).

Returns:

Currently primary fragment. May be null if no primary item has been set yet.

See Also:

getPrimaryPosition()

getPrimaryPosition

public int getPrimaryPosition()

Returns position of the current primary item.

Returns:

Primary item's position or NO_POSITION if no primary item has been specified yet.
