SCOPE
I am making an application for my college fest which shows events for 4 particular fixed dates. I have a main_activity which has a linearlayout on which each and every fragment is displayed. Now a I have a Fragment "ScheduleFragment".
ScheduleFragment consists of a ViewPager and a FragmentStatePagerAdapter which make it possible to toggle through 4 dates.
The ViewPager has 4 pages representing 4 dates and these 4 pages come from 4 references of a same fragment i.e "ScheduleListSubFragment"
From here a user selects an Event and can view the eventDescription which is contained in "EventDescriptionFragment"
PROBLEM
The flow goes well. User come across ScheduleFragment, then toggles to the appropriate date and selects an event.
Now when he goes back from the EventDescriptionFragment to ScheduleFragment (I will later tell how I am doing this), the ViewPager shows blank view. And when we swipe to the next date, the events for the next date comes, and we swipe back to previous date, the events for previous date are back.
I debugged my application and came to know that when we go back to ScheduleFragment, then viewpager is not creating new fragment instances for ScheduleListSubFragment unless I scroll the viewpager.
So, I guess ViewPager is enable to bring that particular reference (of ScheduleListSubFragment) which was being viewed by the user.
How am I going back to ScheduleFragment? I have created a stack in main_activity. When a user selects an event, I push the current reference of ScheduleFragment into the stack. And when back is pressed, I pop that reference and place it on the screen.

Research I did some digging on stackOverFlow, and found some related queries, which were not exactly the same, but couldnt arrive at a solution
Any Kind of Help, is highly appreciated.
