Android - display ListView in TabLayout

Question

I've created an app that utilizes ListView and now I would like to display in a TabLayout, I've Googled this but none of the suggested solutions worked properly.

The tab layout itself is built as so:

PageAdapter

public class PageAdapter extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {
int mNumOfTabs;

public PageAdapter(FragmentManager fm, int NumOfTabs) {
    super(fm);
    this.mNumOfTabs = NumOfTabs;
}

@Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {

    switch (position) {
        case 0:
            AllTasksTabFragment tab1 = new AllTasksTabFragment();
            return tab1;
        case 1:
            WaitingTasksTabFragment tab2 = new WaitingTasksTabFragment();
            return tab2;
        default:
            return null;
    }
}

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

AllTasksTabFragment

public class AllTasksTabFragment extends Fragment
{
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.all_tasks, container, false);
    }
}

Main Layout

            Toast.makeText(context, "Spinner1:no selection", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    });

    TabLayout tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tab_layout);
    tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("All Tasks"));
    tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Waiting"));
    tabLayout.setTabGravity(TabLayout.GRAVITY_FILL);

    final ViewPager viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
    final PageAdapter adapter = new PageAdapter
            (getSupportFragmentManager(), tabLayout.getTabCount());
    viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
    viewPager.addOnPageChangeListener(new TabLayout.TabLayoutOnPageChangeListener(tabLayout));
    tabLayout.setOnTabSelectedListener(new TabLayout.OnTabSelectedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
            viewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());
        }

        @Override
        public void onTabUnselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {

        }

        @Override
        public void onTabReselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {

        }
    });
}

How should I do this when using tabs? I have two tabs - AllTasks (which is displayed here) & Waiting (which is build in the same way). How do I sent the ListView for each of them? So when a user transitions between tabs, the correct list will be displayed.

Answer 1

First Remove this listener from your activity code tabLayout.setOnTabSelectedListener . Then carry out like this.

Interface:

  public interface DavidInterface
    {
   List<Task> getListData(int position);
    }

PageAdapter;

  public class PageAdapter extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {
    int mNumOfTabs;

    public PageAdapter(FragmentManager fm, int NumOfTabs) {
        super(fm);
        this.mNumOfTabs = NumOfTabs;
    }

    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int position) {


          Fragment fragment = new yourOwnFragment();
          Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
          bundle.putInt("position",position);
          fragment.setArguments(bundle);
          return fragment;
    }

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

MainActivityOnCreate:

class MainActivity extends AppcompatActivity implements DavidInterface

{
Hashmap<Integer,List<Task>> task_list_map = new HashMap<>();

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main2);
    task_list_map.add(listitem1);
    task_list_map.add(listitem2);


}
//Interface method.  
@Override
public List<Task> getListData(int position)
{
    return task_list_map.get(position);

}

TabFragment:

public class AllTasksTabFragment extends Fragment
{   DavidInterface davidinterface;
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.all_tasks, container, false);
      davidinterface = (DavidInterface)getActivity();
      Bundle bundle = getArguments();
      int pager_position = bundle.getInt("position",position);
      List<Task> task = davidinterface.getListData(pager_position);
     //populate this data in your listview inside this fragment layout. 

    }
}

Answer 2

My fragment code R.layout.second_fragment it's layout with listview

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.second_fragment, container, false);
    listView = (ListView) v.findViewById(R.id.times_listView);

    return v;
}
