Is there any way to Detect userInterations in Android fragments?

Could any one help me out with this situation.

I have implemented OnUserInteraction() method for Android Activity it is working fine for me.

But I want it for Fragments too.How can i able call OnUserInteraction() or is there any another way to identify userInteraction with the UI.

The easiest way to do this is to implement on touch listener in onViewCreated like so

override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
    view.setOnTouchListener { v, event ->
        requireActivity().onUserInteraction()
        true
    }
}

BTW this solution is in Kotlin

@Sunil's answer causes java.lang.StackOverflowError so I corrected it. Below code works smoothly

Create a java class in your app named UserInterationListener and put below code there

public interface UserInteractionListener {
    void onUserInteraction();
}

Then create an instance variable in your activity, for this interface as below

private UserInteractionListener userInteractionListener;

Then implement a setter method for this variable, in your activity.

public void setUserInteractionListener(UserInteractionListener userInteractionListener) {
    this.userInteractionListener = userInteractionListener;
}

Now override the onUserInteraction method of your activity and if the listener variable is not null, invoke the interface method.

@Override
public void onUserInteraction() {
    super.onUserInteraction();
    if (userInteractionListener != null)
        userInteractionListener.onUserInteraction();
}

Now, in your fragment class, implement UserInteractionListener as below

public myFragment extends Fragment implements UserInteractionListener

also override interface's method

@Override
public void onUserInteraction(){
//TODO://do your work on user interaction
}

then in your fragment invoke your activity's userinteraction setter method like below

((YourActivity) getActivity()).setUserInteractionListener(this);

this last part is important.

There is another way around.

Create a listener in your activity as below

public interface UserInteractionListener {
    void onUserInteraction();
}

Then create an instance variable in your activity, for this interface as below

private UserInteractionListener userInteractionListener;

Then implement a setter method for this variable, in your activity. (You can even keep a List of eventlistener objects, if you want to pass same userinteraction to multiple consumers)

public void setUserInteractionListener(UserInteractionListener userInteractionListener) {
    this.userInteractionListener = userInteractionListener;
}

Now override the onUserInteraction method of your activity and if the listener variable is not null, invoke the interface method.

@Override
public void onUserInteraction() {
    super.onUserInteraction();
    if (userInteractionListener != null)
        userInteractionListener.onUserInteraction();
}

Now, in your fragment class, register for events as below

((YourActivity) getActivity()).setUserInteractionListener(new YourActivity.UserInteractionListener() {
    @Override
    public void onUserInteraction() {
        // Do whatever you want here, during user interaction
    }
});
