    Communicator comm;
    int count=0;


    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        View view=inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment1, container,false);
        return super.onCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState);
    }



    @Override
    public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);

        BTN=(Button) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.button_id);
        comm=(Communicator)getActivity();
        BTN.setOnClickListener(this);

    }

    @Override

        count++;
        comm.respond("clicked "+count+" times");

public class Fragment2 extends Fragment{

    TextView ET;

    @Override

        return super.onCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState);
    }

    @Override
    public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    }

    @Override
    public void respond(String data) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        FragmentManager manager=getSupportFragmentManager();
        Fragment2 f2=(Fragment2) manager.findFragmentById(R.id.fragment2);
        f2.ChangeText(data);

Note :: I am using lower version android so i have used support fragments in all the places

Answer 1

In Fragment 1

 View view=inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment1, container,false);
 return view;

Then

@Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);

        BTN=(Button) getView().findViewById(R.id.button_id); 
        // if button is in fragment layout should us getView() instead of activity
        comm=(Communicator)getActivity();
        BTN.setOnClickListener(this);

}
