setArguments() in Fragment and onCreate()

If I create a new Fragment and then I set arguments to it can I rely on those arguments always being available for me in the onCreate() of the Fragment? If yes, how do they do it? If not how I'am I supposed to communicate if they don't want us to write new constructors?

Yes, your arguments are avaialble in onCreate method. Please check it out this response in order to see how to pass arguments to fragments: How to transfer some data to another Fragment?

Another way to communicate with the fragment is via a interface that your activity is implementing and you pass it as a reference to your fragment, in onAttach method. More info: https://developer.android.com/training/basics/fragments/communicating

Try this way any fragment to set argument and get argument..

// pass parameter to pass into bundle
public static NewMessageFragment newInstance(UserData userData) {
    NewMessageFragment newMessageFragment = new NewMessageFragment();
    Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
    bundle.putParcelable(Constants.KEY_MESSAGE_USER_VO, userData);
    newMessageFragment.setArguments(bundle);
    return newMessageFragment;
}

// get value.
private void extractArguments() {
    Bundle bundle = getArguments();
    if (bundle != null) {
        userData = bundle.getParcelable(Constants.KEY_MESSAGE_USER_VO);
    }
}

extractArguments() method called into onCreateView() method.
