how to get fragment object from context
android, android-context, android-fragments, searchview
Solution
If you don't mess with the normal way a `View` is built then the `Context` reference that you receive in the constructor of a `View` is the `Activity`(a `Context`) where the `View` is being used. So, you have the option of casting that `Context` to an `Activity` reference and from there you can use one of the various ways to access the desired `Fragment`.
Problem
Is it possible to get the fragment object from the context object? I am basically trying to access the fragment object from a SearchView class that i extended. Since context is the only object passed to the SearchView constructor, i was hoping to somehow get a reference to the fragment from it. I know that we can get it from within an activity by using `getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.xxx)`. But `getSupportFragmentManager()` is available only in a `FragmentActivity` class. Is there someway to access the fragment from another class?
