Android: Fragment with tabs

Question

How can I put tabs inside of my fragment? I have been struggling with this and would greatly appreciate some help.

Currently I am getting this error: Did you forget to call 'public void setup(LocalActivityManager activityGroup)'?

However, even when I add a call to this I still get a fatal crash with an error: Must call setup() that takes a Context and FragmentManager

This seems to be contradictory....

Below is the relevant Java and XML:

  @Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    super.onCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState);

    View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_profile, container, false);

    mTabHost = new FragmentTabHost(getActivity());
    mTabHost.setup(getActivity().getApplicationContext(), getChildFragmentManager(), R.layout.testtabhost1);

    //LocalActivityManager mLocalActivityManager = new LocalActivityManager(getActivity(), false);
    //mLocalActivityManager.dispatchCreate(savedInstanceState); 
    //mTabHost.setup(mLocalActivityManager);

    //LocalActivityManager mLocalActivityManager = new LocalActivityManager(getActivity(), false);
    //mTabHost.setup(mLocalActivityManager);

    Intent q_intent = new Intent (getActivity(), QuestionTabActivity.class);
    Intent a_intent = new Intent (getActivity(), AnswerTabActivity.class);

    View questionIndicator = createTabView(mTabHost.getContext(), "Questions");
    View answerIndicator = createTabView(mTabHost.getContext(), "Answers");

    mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("questions").setIndicator(questionIndicator).setContent(q_intent));
    mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("answers").setIndicator(answerIndicator).setContent(a_intent));

    mTabHost.setCurrentTab(0);

    // Inflate the layout for this fragment
    return v;
}

And the XML:

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="com.juryroom.qollege_android_v1.ProfileFragment">

    .........
    ...ETC...
    .........

    <android.support.v4.app.FragmentTabHost
        android:id="@+id/testtabhost1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_below="@id/edit_profile_picture_fragment_circView"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="5dp">

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:orientation="vertical">

            <TabWidget
                android:id="@android:id/tabs"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:showDividers="none"></TabWidget>

            <FrameLayout
                android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent">


            </FrameLayout>
        </LinearLayout>
    </android.support.v4.app.FragmentTabHost>

.........
...ETC...
.........

</FrameLayout>

Here is the design look I'm making: My Design

Use the new design library, I created a full example look this. https://github.com/erikcaffrey/MaterialDesign-NavigationDrawerToggle I hope it helps! — Erik Jhordan Rey, Sep 03 '15 at 05:04

@KingofMasses I saw this, and tried the answer, but it didn't work — Pseduosance, Sep 03 '15 at 05:13
@ErikJhordanReyCaffrey That design library looks like its using the actionbar tabs. I want to have tabs in the middle of a fragment. — Pseduosance, Sep 03 '15 at 05:15

@IntelliJAmiya I followed that example and is how my code currently is... — Pseduosance, Sep 03 '15 at 05:32
@Pseduosance, i think you dont need tabs for this. You can customize a radio group, with a frame layout under it. depending on selection add the respective fragments to the frame layout. — Sumighosh Charuvil, Sep 03 '15 at 05:34

@SumighoshCharuvil Looks promising, I'll try to implement this after I get some sleep and let you know. Thanks man. — Pseduosance, Sep 03 '15 at 06:05
@Pseduosance, TabLayout is a view that can be accommodated where you need it. but may not be necessary to use tabs you can cutomizar one radio group o simply buttons. — Erik Jhordan Rey, Sep 03 '15 at 06:10

mTabHost = (FragmentTabHost) v.findViewById(android.R.id.tabhost);
    mTabHost.setup(getActivity(), getChildFragmentManager(), R.id.realtabcontent);
    mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec(Constant.BuildingPicture.FRONT_PHOTOS).setIndicator(Constant.BuildingPicture.FRONT_PHOTOS),SiteDataFrontPhotoTab.class, null);
    mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec(Constant.BuildingPicture.SATELLITE_PHOTOS).setIndicator(Constant.BuildingPicture.SATELLITE_PHOTOS),SiteDataSatellitePhotoTab.class, null);

In order to display tabs we don’t have to use any other UI element like TabHost. Action bar has the inbuilt capability of adding tabs. All we have to do is enable it using setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS).

Here is a good description of what you are looking for.

Where I want the tabs is in a fragment midway in the screen. Can the actionbar do that? – Pseduosance Sep 03 '15 at 05:09
