Passing values from main activity to another fragment

Question

This is my Main Activity.class file . It contains a navigation drawer where i am using a login section. In the login fragment if the user log in successfully then an int flag is set to 1. which I am receiving here. Now I want to send this value to the services fragment. But I am unable to understand how to do so. MainActivity.class

    ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
            this, drawer, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
    drawer.setDrawerListener(toggle);
    toggle.syncState();

    NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
    navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);

    //add this line to display menu1 when the activity is loaded

            itemValue= (String) listView.getItemAtPosition(position);
            Intent intent= new Intent((Context)getContext(),Doctor.class);
            startActivity(intent);
        }
    });


}


}

It is saying the error as Avoid non default constructors in fragments. Use Fragment#setArguments(Bundle) instead. Please help guys. I am a novice in android app development.

Answer 1

From Activity you send data with intent as:

Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString("edttext", "From Activity");
// set Fragmentclass Arguments
Fragmentclass fragobj = new Fragmentclass();
fragobj.setArguments(bundle);

and in Fragment onCreateView method:

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    String strtext = getArguments().getString("edttext");    
    return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment, container, false);
}

Also You can access activity data from fragment:

Activity:

public class MyActivity extends Activity {

    private String myString = "hello";

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_my);
        ...
    }

    public String getMyData() {
        return myString;
    }
}

Fragment:

public class MyFragment extends Fragment {

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

        MyActivity activity = (MyActivity) getActivity();
        String myDataFromActivity = activity.getMyData();
        return view;
    }
}

Answer 2

Use following flow

Bundle bundle = new Bundle(); //declare global

case R.id.nav_menu1:

        fragment = new Services(auth);           
        bundle.putString("value", "3");// use from static variable  in activity 

        break;

then

   if (fragment != null) {
    FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
    ft.replace(R.id.content_frame, fragment);
    ft.setArguments(bundle);
    ft.commit();}    }

then fragment get

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
    Bundle savedInstanceState) {
String value = getArguments().getString("value");    // you can get 3
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment, container, false);
 }

Answer 3

In Activity, your create:

public String myData;

myData = "YourData";

public String getData(){

return myData;

}

In Fragment:

MainActivity activity = (MainActivity)getActivity;

String b = activity.getData();
