How can I add a fragment to a ViewPager? addView crashes my app

Solution

you can follow this approach:

just Use fragments for each view in a pager.

write the below code in `onCreate()` method of the `FragmentActivity`.

List<Fragment> fragments = new Vector<Fragment>();

//for each fragment you want to add to the pager
Bundle page = new Bundle();
page.putString("url", url);
fragments.add(Fragment.instantiate(this,MyFragment.class.getName(),page));

//after adding all the fragments write the below lines

this.mPagerAdapter  = new PagerAdapter(super.getSupportFragmentManager(), fragments);

mPager.setAdapter(this.mPagerAdapter);

A sample fragment definition:

public class MyFragment extends Fragment {


public static MyFragment newInstance(String imageUrl) {

final MyFragment mf = new MyFragment ();

    final Bundle args = new Bundle();
    args.putString("somedata", "somedata");
    mf.setArguments(args);

    return mf;
}

public MyFragment() {}

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    String data = getArguments().getString("somedata");
}

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // Inflate and locate the main ImageView
    final View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.my_fragment_view, container, false);
    //... 
    return v;
}

FragmentPagerAdapter

public class MyFragmentAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {

public static int pos = 0;

private List<Fragment> myFragments;

public MyFragmentAdapter(FragmentManager fm, List<Fragment> myFrags) {
    super(fm);
    myFragments = myFrags;
}

@Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {

    return myFragments.get(position);

}

@Override
public int getCount() {

    return myFragments.size();
}

@Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {

    setPos(position);

    String PageTitle = "";

    switch(pos)
    {
        case 0:
                PageTitle = "page 1";
                break;
        case 1:
                PageTitle = "page 2";
                break;
        case 2:
                PageTitle = "page 3";
                break;
        case 3:
                PageTitle = "page 4";
                break;
        case 4:
                PageTitle = "page 5";
                break;
        case 5: 
                PageTitle = "page 6";
                break;
        case 6:
                PageTitle = "page 7";
                break;
    }
    return PageTitle;
}

public static int getPos() {
    return pos;
}

 public static void setPos(int pos) {
    MyFragmentAdapter.pos = pos;
 }
}

Problem

I'm using the default Swipe Tab Fragment code that Android starts with when you start a new Android application. I've figured out how to modify my data and use the tabs, but I haven't figured out how to add a simple fragment to what's already there. I wanted to add a infobar on the top of the tabs or right below them. I'm sure it's simple, I just can't figure out how lol. I learn by examples. I've tried adding a view to viewpager, but my app is crashing, and I believe I'm totally doing it wrong. In my MainActivity: ... ``` protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); // Set up the action bar. final ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar(); actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS); mSectionsPagerAdapter = new SectionsPagerAdapter( getSupportFragmentManager()); // Set up the ViewPager with the sections adapter. mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager); mViewPager.setAdapter(mSectionsPagerAdapter); SubBarFragment infobar = new SubBarFragment(); mViewPager.addView(infobar.getView()); .....[extra code for menus and things] public class SectionsPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter { public SectionsPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) { super(fm); } @Override public Fragment getItem(int position) { ....[code to show specific tabs and return the tab's fragment] ``` infobarfragment.java ``` public class InfobarFragment extends Fragment { @Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) { View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.infobar, container, false); return view; } } ``` activity_main.xml ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:id="@+id/pager" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" tools:context=".MainActivity" /> ``` infobar.xml ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="horizontal" > <ImageView android:id="@+id/imageView1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/ic_wifi" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/statusText1" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" android:text="Wifi Status Information" /> </LinearLayout> ```
