I have method in fragment class. I want to call that method from main activity but I don't want to use FragmentById (or) FragmentByTag.
My fragment method:
public void setItemFromDrawer(String sourceTag, String destTag) {
//dosomething
}
How to call above method from main activity without using FragmentById (or) FragmentByTag?
First create an interface
public interface MyInterface
{
void myAction() ;
}
Your fragment must implement this interface.
public MyFragment extends Fragment implements MyInterface
In your activity, define a field of type MyInterface :
private MyInterface listener ;
public void setListener(MyInterface listener)
{
this.listener = listener ;
}
When creating your fragment and adding it :
setListener(myFragment);
Finally, when the condtion happens that you want to call the Fragment method, just call :
listener.myAction() ; // this will call the implementation in your MyFragment class.
it means your calling a fragment method
((YourFragmentClass) fragment).Yourmethod();
In Activity use something like this where you load your fragment:
FragmentTransaction transaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
transaction.replace(container, fragment);
transaction.addToBackStack(null); // if you want to store transaction
transaction.commit();
currentFragment = fragment; // currentFragment is global Fragment variable
Use following line where you want to call fragment's method
currentFragment.setItemFromDrawer("sourceTag","destTag");
To better explain the answer by user5466222 :
YourFragmentClass fragment = new YourFragmentClass();
((YourFragmentClass) fragment).yourmethod();
((YourFragment Class) fragment).Your method();
its worked form me
