I am trying to get a fragment with three tabs displayed using ViewPager. Initially I used to instantiate the fragment from the Activity using FragmentMgr, this worked fine. When I converted this navigation using ViewPager, this Fragment is no longer displayed.
MainActivity.java
When I initiate Fragment like this, it gets displayed. eg:
LaunchListFragment fragment = new LaunchListFragment();
fragment.newInstance(LIST_TYPE);
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.item_detail_container,
fragment).commit();
I tried this change above code to make use of ViewPager as follows:
mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
mViewPager.setAdapter(new LaunchPageAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager(),LIST_TYPE));
mViewPager.setCurrentItem(0);
where LaunchPageAdapter calls LaunchListFragment.
LaunchPageAdapter.java
public class LaunchPageAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
private static String select="";
public LaunchPageAdapter(FragmentManager fm, String type) {
super(fm);
select=type;
}
@Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
switch (position) {
case 0:
return LaunchListFragment.newInstance(select);
case 1:
return AddTeamFragment.newInstance();
}
return null;
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return 2;
}
Here is LaunchListFragment.java
public class LaunchListFragment extends ListFragment implements ActionBar.TabListener {
public static String LIST_TYPE = "invalid";
GenericListData g_data[] = null;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View result = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_launch_list,
container, false);
setActionTabs();
setList();
return (result);
}
public static Fragment newInstance(String type) {
Fragment frag = new LaunchListFragment();
Bundle args = new Bundle();
LIST_TYPE=type;
args.putString(LIST_TYPE, type);
frag.setArguments(args);
return (frag);
}
This is main.xml layout used by MainActivity
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools= "match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginLeft="16dp"

<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="@+id/pager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" />
</FrameLayout>
fragment_launch_list.xml used by LaunchListFragment
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ListView
android:id="@android:id/list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:drawSelectorOnTop="false" >
</ListView>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/itemName"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:textSize="22dp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
When I debug this, I can see LaunchListFragment is getting instantiated, onCreate and onCreate View is called, it just won't get displayed. :(
Can anyone here let me know if I am missing anything here in my ViewPager implementation?
Update
When I called LaunchListFragment without using Viewpager, I set the content view first and passed R.id.item_detail_container which is the id of the FrameLayout where I want the fragment to be displayed. Please refer to main.xml earlier
setContentView(R.layout.main.xml);
LaunchListFragment fragment = new LaunchListFragment();
fragment.newInstance(LIST_TYPE);
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.item_detail_container,
fragment).commit();
When I changed this to use ViewPager, I am not sure where I'm directing the Fragment to be displayed. In my fragment onView I'm inflating fragment_launch_list and returning the View. But how will the view pager know where to set the fragment view. Is it inside the id pager?
I'm an absolute beginner, I apologize if all these are naive questions.
Cheers.
