FragmentPagerAdapter

abstract class FragmentPagerAdapter : PagerAdapter

kotlin.Any
   ↳ androidx.viewpager.widget.PagerAdapter
     ↳ androidx.fragment.app.FragmentPagerAdapter

Implementation of PagerAdapter that represents each page as a Fragment that is persistently kept in the fragment manager as long as the user can return to the page.

This version of the pager is best for use when there are a handful of typically more static fragments to be paged through, such as a set of tabs. The fragment of each page the user visits will be kept in memory, though its view hierarchy may be destroyed when not visible. This can result in using a significant amount of memory since fragment instances can hold on to an arbitrary amount of state. For larger sets of pages, consider FragmentStatePagerAdapter.

When using FragmentPagerAdapter the host ViewPager must have a valid ID set.

Subclasses only need to implement getItem and getCount to have a working adapter.

Here is an example implementation of a pager containing fragments of lists:
public class FragmentPagerSupport extends FragmentActivity {
    static final int NUM_ITEMS = 10;

    MyAdapter mAdapter;

    ViewPager mPager;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.fragment_pager);

        mAdapter = new MyAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());

        mPager = (ViewPager)findViewById(R.id.pager);
        mPager.setAdapter(mAdapter);

        // Watch for button clicks.
        Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.goto_first);
        button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                mPager.setCurrentItem(0);
            }
        });
        button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.goto_last);
        button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                mPager.setCurrentItem(NUM_ITEMS-1);
            }
        });
    }

    public static class MyAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
        public MyAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
            super(fm, BEHAVIOR_RESUME_ONLY_CURRENT_FRAGMENT);
        }

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

        @Override
        public Fragment getItem(int position) {
            return ArrayListFragment.newInstance(position);
        }
    }

    public static class ArrayListFragment extends ListFragment {
        int mNum;

        /**
         * Create a new instance of CountingFragment, providing "num"
         * as an argument.
         */
        static ArrayListFragment newInstance(int num) {
            ArrayListFragment f = new ArrayListFragment();

            // Supply num input as an argument.
            Bundle args = new Bundle();
            args.putInt("num", num);
            f.setArguments(args);

            return f;
        }

        /**
         * When creating, retrieve this instance's number from its arguments.
         */
        @Override
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            mNum = getArguments() != null ? getArguments().getInt("num") : 1;
        }

        /**
         * The Fragment's UI is just a simple text view showing its
         * instance number.
         */
        @Override
        public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                                 Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_pager_list, container, false);
            View tv = v.findViewById(R.id.text);
            ((TextView)tv).setText("Fragment #" + mNum);
            return v;
        }

        @Override
        public void onViewCreated(@NonNull View view, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
            setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity(),
                    android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, Cheeses.sCheeseStrings));
        }

        @Override
        public void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
            Log.i("FragmentList", "Item clicked: " + id);
        }
    }
}
The R.layout.fragment_pagerresource of the top-level fragment is:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
              android:orientation="vertical" android:padding="4dip"

</LinearLayout>
The R.layout.fragment_pager_listresource containing each individual fragment's layout is:

        <!-- Here is the list. Since we are using a ListActivity, we
             have to call it "@android:id/list" so ListActivity will

Public constructors

FragmentPagerAdapter

FragmentPagerAdapter(fm: FragmentManager)

Constructor for FragmentPagerAdapter that sets the fragment manager for the adapter. This is the equivalent of calling FragmentPagerAdapter and passing in BEHAVIOR_SET_USER_VISIBLE_HINT.

Fragments will have setUserVisibleHint called whenever the current Fragment changes.

Parameters
fm: FragmentManager

fragment manager that will interact with this adapter

FragmentPagerAdapter

FragmentPagerAdapter(
    fm: FragmentManager,
    @FragmentPagerAdapter.Behavior behavior: Int
)

Constructor for FragmentPagerAdapter. If BEHAVIOR_RESUME_ONLY_CURRENT_FRAGMENT is passed in, then only the current Fragment is in the RESUMED state. All other fragments are capped at STARTED. If BEHAVIOR_SET_USER_VISIBLE_HINT is passed, all fragments are in the RESUMED state and there will be callbacks to setUserVisibleHint.

Parameters
fm: FragmentManager

fragment manager that will interact with this adapter

@FragmentPagerAdapter.Behavior behavior: Int

determines if only current fragments are in a resumed state

Return the Fragment associated with a specified position.

getItemId

fun getItemId(position: Int): Long
