I have a very simple code where I use Action Bar with tab fragments. It works fine after load, but after orientation change it goes crazy. The old fragment also visible (why?).
Sorry for Hungarian texts on the image, but I hope it doesn't matter.
I attach the code, maybe it helps to solve this problem.
Main activity:
public class Main extends Activity
{
private static ActionBar actionBar;
@Override
protected void onCreate(final Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// setup action bar for tabs
actionBar = getActionBar();
actionBar.removeAllTabs();
if (actionBar.getTabCount() == 0)
{
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
Tab tab = actionBar.newTab().setText(R.string.starter).setTabListener(new TabListener<Starter>(this, "starter", Starter.class));
actionBar.addTab(tab);
tab = actionBar.newTab().setText(R.string.newword).setTabListener(new TabListener<NewWord>(this, "newwod", NewWord.class));
actionBar.addTab(tab);
tab = actionBar.newTab().setText(R.string.feedback).setTabListener(new TabListener<Feedback>(this, "feedback", Feedback.class));
actionBar.addTab(tab);
}
if (savedInstanceState != null)
{
actionBar.setSelectedNavigationItem(savedInstanceState.getInt("tab", 0));
}
}
@Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState)
{
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
outState.putInt("tab", getActionBar().getSelectedNavigationIndex());
}
}
TabListener (same as Google example):
public class TabListener<T extends Fragment> implements android.app.ActionBar.TabListener
{
private Fragment mFragment;
private final Activity mActivity;
private final String mTag;
private final Class<T> mClass;
/**
* Constructor used each time a new tab is created.
*
* @param activity
* The host Activity, used to instantiate the fragment
* @param tag
* The identifier tag for the fragment
* @param clz
* The fragment's Class, used to instantiate the fragment
*/
public TabListener(Activity activity, String tag, Class<T> clz)
{
mActivity = activity;
mTag = tag;
mClass = clz;
}
@Override
public void onTabReselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft)
{
// User selected the already selected tab. Usually do nothing.
}
@Override
public void onTabSelected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft)
{
// Check if the fragment is already initialized
if (mFragment == null)
{
// If not, instantiate and add it to the activity
mFragment = Fragment.instantiate(mActivity, mClass.getName());
ft.add(android.R.id.content, mFragment, mTag);
} else
{
// If it exists, simply attach it in order to show it
ft.attach(mFragment);
}
}
@Override
public void onTabUnselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft)
{
if (mFragment != null)
{
// Detach the fragment, because another one is being attached
ft.detach(mFragment);
}
}
}
Fragment:
public class Starter extends Fragment
{
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
setRetainInstance(false);
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.newword, container, false);
}
}
and the layout XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
