need help to fix code for getting current view in viewpager

Question

Need help to fix a code I saw in a https://stackoverflow.com/a/9275732/1938357. The solution I need is get the current view onany page in my viewpager based application

Below is the code for reference

public View getCurrentView(ViewPager pager) {
for (int i = 0; i < pager.getChildCount(); i++) {
    View child = pager.getChildAt(i);
    if (child.getX() <= pager.getScrollX() + pager.getWidth()
         && child.getX() + child.getWidth() >= pager.getScrollX() + pager.getWidth()) {
        return child;
     }

 }
return getChildAt(0);

I am trying to access the current view in the view pager and used the code above. It works fine when I scroll forwards. But when I scroll backwards then after 2 backward scrolls this stops working.

Public class myActivity extends FragmentActivity
//Variable declarations
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
ViewPager mPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
mPagerAdapter = new ScreenSlidePagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
mPager.setAdapter(mPagerAdapter);
View CurrView;

OnPageChangeListener pageChangelistener = new OnPageChangeListener() {
  @Override
  public void onPageSelected(int pageSelected) {
    doTextViewChnges();//access the text view and update it based on pageSelected
    ---THIS IS WHERE I AM STUCK IN TRYING TO GET THE TEXTVIEW IN MY CURRENT FRAGMWNT/VIEW-------
 }

mPager.setOnPageChangeListener(pageChangelistener);
}
private class ScreenSlidePagerAdapter extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter { 
  public ScreenSlidePagerAdapter(android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager  fm) {
    super(fm);
 }

 @Override
 public android.support.v4.app.Fragment getItem(int position) { 
    return ScreenSlidePageFragment.create(position, <other parameters I want to pass>);
 }

 @Override
 public int getCount() {
    return NUM_PAGES;
 }
}  

And below is my ScreenSlidePageFragment class

public class ScreenSlidePageFragment extends android.support.v4.app.Fragment {

public static final String ARG_PAGE = "pagenumber";
public static final String ARG_PAGEARRAY = "pages";

private int mPageNumber;
//Declare other variables

@SuppressLint("NewApi")
public static ScreenSlidePageFragment create(int pageNumber, String[] pages, int bookmarkPageNumber, String storyName, int linesInOnePage) {
    ScreenSlidePageFragment fragment = new ScreenSlidePageFragment();
    Bundle args = new Bundle();
    args.putInt(ARG_PAGE, pageNumber);
    args.putStringArray(ARG_PAGEARRAY, pages);
    fragment.setArguments(args); 
    return fragment;
}

@SuppressLint("NewApi")
public ScreenSlidePageFragment() {
}

@SuppressLint("NewApi")
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    mPageNumber = getArguments().getInt(ARG_PAGE);
    pages = getArguments().getStringArray(ARG_PAGEARRAY);
}

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    rootView = (ViewGroup) inflater
            .inflate(R.layout.activity_story, container, false);

    //load layout with all components filled up for that page
    loadView(rootView);
    return rootView;
}
public int getPageNumber() {
    return mPageNumber;
}

Answer 1

It is very hard to discuss in comments with example of code.

As I see in grepcode FragmentStatePagerAdapter.setPrimaryItem(), receive object as android.support.v4.app.Fragment. But you are receive ClassCastException when trying to cast object as Fragment. Can you check your casting: do you really cast object in android.support.v4.app.Fragment not in android.app.Fragment? If all right, add your exception message to your question, please.

UPDATE:

If your ScreenSlidePagerAdapter has method getCurrentView(), then your method 'getCurrentView()' can work like this:

public View getCurrentView(ViewPager pager) {
    return ((ScreenSlidePagerAdapter) pager.getAdapter()).getCurrentView();
}

And method getCurrentView() of your ScreenSlidePagerAdapter:

public View getCurrentView() {
    return currView;
}

UPDATE 2:

I've made some modification with your code:

Your Activity with private Adapter:

public class myActivity extends FragmentActivity implements ISelectItemListener {
    // Your variable declarations and methods

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        final ViewPager pager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);

        mPagerAdapter = new ScreenSlidePagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
        pager.setAdapter(mPagerAdapter);

        pager.setOnPageChangeListener(
                new OnPageChangeListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onPageSelected(int pageSelected) {
                        final ScreenSlidePageFragment fragment = mPagerAdapter.getFragment(pageSelected);

                        if (fragment != null) {
                            fragment.doTextViewChnges();
                        }
                    }

                    @Override
                    public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int arg0) {
                        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                    }

                    @Override
                    public void onPageScrolled(int arg0, float arg1, int arg2) {
                        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                    }
                });
    }

    private class ScreenSlidePagerAdapter extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {
        //Your variable declarations

        private final ScreenSlidePageFragment[] mFragments;

        public ScreenSlidePagerAdapter(android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager fm) {
            super(fm);

            mFragments = new ScreenSlidePageFragment[NUM_PAGES];
        }

        @Override
        public int getCount() {
            return NUM_PAGES;
        }




        // It will create new ScreenSlidePageFragment by position if it's not exsist
        @Override
        public android.support.v4.app.Fragment getItem(int position) {
            if (getFragment(position) == null) {
                mFragments[position] = ScreenSlidePageFragment.create(position, <other parameters I want to pass>);
            }

            return getFragment(position);
        }

        // It will give you ScreenSlidePageFragment if it's exists, or null
        public ScreenSlidePageFragment getFragment(int position) {
            return mFragments[position];
        }
    }
}

Your Fragment:

public class ScreenSlidePageFragment extends Fragment {
    //Your variables and methods

    public static ScreenSlidePageFragment create(int pageNumber, String[] pages, int bookmarkPageNumber, String storyName, int linesInOnePage) {
        final Bundle args = new Bundle();
        args.putInt(ARG_PAGE, pageNumber);
        args.putStringArray(ARG_PAGEARRAY, pages);

        final ScreenSlidePageFragment fragment = new ScreenSlidePageFragment();
        fragment.setArguments(args); 

        return fragment;
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        mPageNumber = getArguments().getInt(ARG_PAGE);
        pages = getArguments().getStringArray(ARG_PAGEARRAY);
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        rootView = (ViewGroup) inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_story, container, false);

        loadView(rootView);
        return rootView;
    }

    public int getPageNumber() {
        return mPageNumber;
    }

    // Let's keep logic of modifications in fragment
    public void doTextViewChnges() {
        final View view = getView();
        // do what you want with your View and his children
    }
}
