Fragment hosting another fragment, how to reference host fragment?

Question

I have a fragment which contains a ViewPager. This ViewPager is obviously populated by other Fragments.

My question is, is there any way (something resembling getActivity()) for the Fragment in the ViewPager to get a reference to the host Fragment?

why do you want a reference to the host fragment? – Mohammad Rahchamani Nov 27 '14 at 21:43 — Mohammad Rahchamani, Nov 27 '14 at 21:43

As long as it is API 17 or greater, you can use this:

getParentFragment()

It will return null if the fragment is inside of an activity, not another fragment.

See the documentation here.
