How to get the fragment instance from the FragmentActivity?

android, android-fragments, user-interface

Solution

You can use use `findFragmentById` in `FragmentManager`.

Since you are using the Support library (you are extending FragmentActivity) you can use:

getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.pageview)

If you are not using the support library (so you are on Honeycomb+ and you don't want to use the support library):

getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.pageview)

Please consider that using the support library is recommended even on Honeycomb+.

Problem

I set the content view in the FragmentActivity, and the activity will create the fragment instance for me according to the class name specified in the layout file. But how can I get that fragment instance? ``` public class MyActivity extends FragmentActivity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle extra) { super.onCreate(extra); setContentView(R.layout.page_fragment); } } ``` layout/page_fragment.xml: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/pageview" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:name="org.xi.android.PageFragment" /> ```
