I'm trying to write a method that would replace the code that I use to swap fragments in order to keep copying and posting to a minimum (and to stay DRY)
The ProblemI get an error when I attempt to use the class that I passed in as an argument to create a new instance of that class.
The error occurs in this line of code, to the left of the operator (equal sign):
newFragmentClass new_fragment = newFragmentClass.newInstance();
The error it gives me is: "newFragmentClass cannot be resolved to a type".
Full Code private void changeFragment(Class<?> newFragmentClass) { // Detect the current fragment Fragment current_fragment = getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.fragment_container); // Create a new instance of the given class, edit later to gracefully handle errors newFragmentClass new_fragment = newFragmentClass.newInstance(); // Switch to the new fragment FragmentTransaction transaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction(); transaction.detach(current_fragment); transaction.replace(R.id.fragment_container, new_fragment); transaction.setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_FADE); transaction.commit(); // Change the tab background to indicate that the tab is active, reset backgrounds for any other tabs findViewById(R.id.page_one_tab).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.menu_button_background_active); findViewById(R.id.page_two_tab).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.menu_button_background); findViewById(R.id.page_three_tab).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.menu_button_background); } // Page One Tab Button Functionality public void pageOneTab (View v) { // Change the fragment to SelectPlayersFragment changeFragment(Page_One_Fragment.class); }
Attempted Solutions
I've been searching StackOverflow and the internet at large for quite a while and have not been able to find a solution. A few topics like this one seemed as if they would resolve the problem, but then I ran into an error on the transaction.replace line that I could not find a fix for: "The method replace(int, Fragment) in the type FragmentTransaction is not applicable for the arguments (int, Object)".
You probably want something like:
private Fragment changeFragment(Class<? extends Fragment> newFragmentClass) {
Fragment current_fragment = getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.fragment_container);
// Create a new instance of the given class, edit later to gracefully handle errors
Fragment new_fragment = null;
try {
new_fragment = newFragmentClass.newInstance();
} catch (InstantiationException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e); // for some reason this fragment loading has failed so crash
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
FragmentTransaction transaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
transaction.detach(current_fragment);
transaction.replace(R.id.fragment_container, new_fragment);
// ...
Perhaps a more simpler solution would be to pass a Fragment
as argument, instead of a Class
, and use it to replace the current fragment. Also, you don't need to detach the current fragment, that is what replace()
does for you.
Something like this:
public void changeFragment(Fragment fragment) {
FragmentManager manager = getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction transaction = manager.beginTransaction();
transaction.replace(R.id.fragment_container, fragment, "tag");
transaction.commit();
//.....
}
And you use it like this:
changeFragment(new Page_One_Fragment());
I think you want this:
private <T extends Fragment> void changeFragment(Class<T> newFragmentClass)
{
...
// Create a new instance of the given class, edit later to gracefully handle errors
T new_fragment = newFragmentClass.newInstance();
...
}
Because your "newFragmentClass' is only a parameter of method, it's not a type so you can not instance it. Follow my code to fix your problem
private <T extends Fragment> void changeFragment(Class<T> newFragmentClass)
{
// Detect the current fragment
Fragment current_fragment = getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.content);
// Create a new instance of the given class, edit later to gracefully handle errors
T new_fragment = newFragmentClass.newInstance();
// Switch to the player select fragment
FragmentTransaction transaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
transaction.detach(current_fragment);
transaction.replace(R.id.fragment_container, new_fragment);
transaction.setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_FADE);
transaction.commit();
// Change the tab background to indicate that the tab is active, reset backgrounds for any other tabs
findViewById(R.id.page_one_tab).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.menu_button_background_active);
findViewById(R.id.page_two_tab).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.menu_button_background);
findViewById(R.id.page_three_tab).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.menu_button_background);
