First I explain the structure of my app. To be precise MainActivity of my app contains Viewpager with two fragments. Each fragment contains a listview. The data inside listview is being populated from web service call.
This web service call is actually done in activity not in the fragments through AsyncTaskLoader which loads data for both listviews and saves the response in two Application variables (Lists of data for both listviews). On finish of loader , i just do viewpager.notifydatasetchanged() (which reloads the fragments , thus sets the data in listview).
As the fragments in viewpager are initialiased by viewpager's adapter no by the activity directly, I found this approach better.
Options I had, but rejected (pls correct me If I could utilise them)
- Asynctask to call webservice (headache if handling rotations)
- IntentService (updation of UI)
Is there any other approach to load data and handles the fragments?
