I am looking for a way to create a chat fragment. So basically I am trying to make a fragment dynamic. As a first step I am trying to update a textview which I have to display messages received. I am using XMPP as a client and I am receiving message through the following function:
@Override
public void processMessage(Chat arg0, org.jivesoftware.smack.packet.Message message) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
String from = message.getFrom();
String body = message.getBody();
System.out.println(String.format("Received message '%1$s' from %2$s", body, from));
text.setText(String.format("'%1$s' from %2$s", body, from));
}
Any help regarding dynamically updating a textview in a fragment is appreciated.
Thanks

Example of MyFragment
that allow text update:
public class MyFragment extends Fragment {
TextView textView;
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_b, container, false);
textView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.textView1);
return view;
}
public void updateTextValue(CharSequence newText) {
textView.setText(newText);
}
}
Example of Activity
that holds the MyFragment
:
public class Activity extends Activity {
MyFragment myFragment;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.my_layout);
FragmentManager manager = getFragmentManager();
myFragment = (MyFragment) manager.findFragmentById(R.id.fragmentA);
}
@Override
public void processMessage(Chat arg0, org.jivesoftware.smack.packet.Message message) {
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
myFragment.updateTextValue("Hi fragment!");
}
}
}
}
In the processMessage() function, you can do getView().findViewById(id_of_text_view);
getView()
returns the View created in onCreateView()
