How to change data of the current fragment in TabLayout?

How is it possible to change dynamically the content of the current fragment in TabLayout. For example, if there is a list on the current fragment, and the list is changed, how to update the fragment layout?

Here is the default generated code (selected from New-> Activity->Tabbed Activity)

 public static class PlaceholderFragment extends Fragment {
    /**
     * The fragment argument representing the section number for this
     * fragment.
     */
    private static final String ARG_SECTION_NUMBER = "section_number";

    public PlaceholderFragment() {
    }

    /**
     * Returns a new instance of this fragment for the given section
     * number.
     */
    public static PlaceholderFragment newInstance(int sectionNumber) {
        PlaceholderFragment fragment = new PlaceholderFragment();
        Bundle args = new Bundle();
        args.putInt(ARG_SECTION_NUMBER, sectionNumber);
        fragment.setArguments(args);
        return fragment;
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false);
        TextView textView = (TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.section_label);
        int areaID = getArguments().getInt(ARG_SECTION_NUMBER);
        textView.setText(getString(R.string.section_format, areaID));
        return rootView;
    }
}

/**
 * A {@link FragmentPagerAdapter} that returns a fragment corresponding to
 * one of the sections/tabs/pages.
 */
public class SectionsPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {

    public SectionsPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
        super(fm);
    }

    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int position) {
        // getItem is called to instantiate the fragment for the given page.
        // Return a PlaceholderFragment (defined as a static inner class below).
        return PlaceholderFragment.newInstance(position + 1);
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        // Show 3 total pages.
        return 3;
    }

    @Override
    public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
        switch (position) {
            case 0:
                return "SECTION 1";
            case 1:
                return "SECTION 2";
            case 2:
                return "SECTION 3";
        }
        return null;
    }
}

Your question is not a Fragment problem per say. Since you're using a ListView, you could either use a predefined adapter, or create your own custom adapter. Check this answer of mine on how to create a custom one.

But long story short you'll need to:

  • Either use an ArrayAdapter (As seem on this question), or create your own, as stated above on my answer.

  • Every time you modify your adapter/dataset, call the method myAdapter#notifyDataSetChanged();
