Refresh or Update the listadapter from a fragment in android eclipse

Question

I have a MainActivity with some fragments to run when click on side navigation menu. In the side navigation menu there is a item Called Number of SMS that shall be updated as soon as in the other fragment you choose the desired phone number. but the problem is I do not know how to refresh the list adapter from that fragment. I defined a class called allvalues which contains all my global variables. The variable responsible for SMS count is allvalues.NumberOfLocations here is the code of MainActivity:

            mProgressDialog.dismiss();          
        }
    }       


}

and this is the other Fragment which in this fragment, the phone numbers already user, saved are going to be showed in a list which on click of the number, first the number will be selected and then the allvalues.NumberOfLocations should be updated which equals to the number of received messages for the selected number.

        while  (cursor.moveToNext())

               String address = cursor.getString(1);
               if(address.equals(allvalues.PhoneNumberToSend)){

        allvalues.NumberOfLocations = i + "";
        Toast.makeText(allvalues.context, allvalues.NumberOfLocations, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

}

but the number in the inside the navigation drawer does not update... I also tried to call the navigation adapter after the line: allvalues.NumberOfLocations = i + ""; but it did not work... please help me...

Answer 1

I'd suggest to create a custom listener in your fragment like this :

public interface FragmentListener {
    void refreshData();
}

and declare a variable for this listener in your fragment :

private FragmentListener listener;

and in your onItemClickListener:

listener.refreshData();

now create a method in your fragment to set this listener:

public void setListener(FragmentListener listener) {
    this.listener = listener;
}

finally in your activity when you create your fragment :

ChoosePhoneNumber fragment = new Fragment();
fragment.setListener(new FragmentListener() {
    public void refreshData() {
         //Whatever you want to do.
    }
});

Answer 2

I achieved the goal by simply refresh the MainActivity (reload it) again from the ChoosePhoneNumber fragment by adding these two lines at the end of the Fragment:

getActivity().finish();
getActivity().startActivity(getActivity().getIntent());
