I haven't found something like setTag(String tagName)
method in the Fragment
class. The only way to set a Fragment
tag that I have found is by doing a FragmentTransaction
and passing a tag name as parameter.
Is this the only way to explicitly set a Fragment
tag by code?
Yes. So the only way is at transaction time, e.g. using add
, replace
, or as part of the layout.
I determined this through an examination of the compatibility sources as I briefly looked for similar at some point in the past.
You can set tag to fragment in this way:
Fragment fragmentA = new FragmentA();
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.MainFrameLayout,fragmentA,"YOUR_TARGET_FRAGMENT_TAG")
.addToBackStack("YOUR_SOURCE_FRAGMENT_TAG").commit();
You can provide a tag inside your activity layout xml file.
"Supply the android:tag attribute with a unique string."
just as you assign id in a layout xml.
android:tag="unique_tag"

You can also get all fragments like this:
For v4 fragmets
List<Fragment> allFragments = getSupportFragmentManager().getFragments();
For app.fragment
List<Fragment> allFragments = getFragmentManager().getFragments();
I know it's been 6 years ago but if anyone is facing the same problem do like i've done:
-Create a custom Fragment
Class with a tag field:
public class MyFragment extends Fragment {
private String _myTag;
public void setMyTag(String value)
{
if("".equals(value))
return;
_myTag = value;
}
//other code goes here
}
-Before adding the fragment to the sectionPagerAdapter
set the tag just like that:
MyFragment mfrag= new MyFragment();
mfrag.setMyTag("TAG_GOES_HERE");
sectionPagerAdapter.AddFragment(mfrag);
This is the best way I have found :
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
// Let's first dynamically add a fragment into a frame container
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().
replace(R.id.flContainer, new DemoFragment(), "SOMETAG").
commit();
// Now later we can lookup the fragment by tag
DemoFragment fragmentDemo = (DemoFragment)
getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("SOMETAG");
}
}
}
You can add the tag as a property for the Fragment
arguments. It will be automatically restored if the fragment is destroyed and then recreated by the OS.
Example:-
final Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putString("TAG", "my tag");
fragment.setArguments(args);
