How to handle AsyncTask's in ActionBarActivity Fragments when ViewPager is used?
The FragmentPagerAdapter
keeps additional fragments, besides the one shown, in resumed state. The solution is to implement a custom OnPageChangeListener
and create a new method for when the fragment is shown.
1) Create LifecycleManager
Interface
The interface will have two methods and each ViewPager’s
Fragment will implement it. These methods Are as follows:
public interface FragmentLifecycle {
public void onPauseFragment();
public void onResumeFragment();
}
2) Let each Fragment
implement the interface
Add iplements statement for each class declaration:
public class FragmentBlue extends Fragment implements FragmentLifecycle
public class FragmentGreen extends Fragment implements FragmentLifecycle
public class FragmentPink extends Fragment implements FragmentLifecycle
3) Implement interface methods in each fragment
In order to check that it really works as expected, I will just log the method call and show Toast:
@Override
public void onPauseFragment() {
Log.i(TAG, "onPauseFragment()");
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "onPauseFragment():" + TAG, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
@Override
public void onResumeFragment() {
Log.i(TAG, "onResumeFragment()");
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "onResumeFragment():" + TAG, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
4) Call interface methods on ViewPager page change
You can set OnPageChangeListener on ViewPager and get callback each time when ViewPager shows another page:
pager.setOnPageChangeListener(pageChangeListener);
5) Implement OnPageChangeListener to call your custom Lifecycle methods
Listener knows the new position and can call the interface method on new Fragment with the help of PagerAdapter. I can here call onResumeFragment() for new fragment and onPauseFragment() on the current one.
I need to store also the current fragment’s position (initially the current position is equal to 0), since I don’t know whether the user scrolled from left to right or from right to left. See what I mean in code:
private OnPageChangeListener pageChangeListener = new OnPageChangeListener() {
int currentPosition = 0;
@Override
public void onPageSelected(int newPosition) {
FragmentLifecycle fragmentToShow = (FragmentLifecycle)pageAdapter.getItem(newPosition);
fragmentToShow.onResumeFragment();
FragmentLifecycle fragmentToHide = (FragmentLifecycle)pageAdapter.getItem(currentPosition);
fragmentToHide.onPauseFragment();
currentPosition = newPosition;
}
@Override
public void onPageScrolled(int arg0, float arg1, int arg2) { }
public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int arg0) { }
};
I didn't write the code. Full tutorial here: http://looksok.wordpress.com/2013/11/02/viewpager-with-detailed-fragment-lifecycle-onresumefragment-including-source-code/
When to call AsyncTask in Fragments in a ViewPager?
You could override the method of Fragment:
setUserVisibleHint(boolean isVisibleToUser) {
super.setUserVisibleHint( isVisibleToUser);
if(isVisiableToUser) {
}
}
ViewPager/FragmentPageAdapter, after recreation, does not call onCreate() of last selected view
Finally, I found a solution. My CustomTabAdapter
was extension of FragmentPagerAdapter
. I changed it to be extension of FragmentStatePageAdapter
, and now fragments are recreated.

How to not start all fragments together on ViewPager when fragment A is selected
Using an OnPageChangeListener in your View Pager, you can detect which fragment is currently shown in the View Pager. You'll then need to check which fragment is shown and then call a method on that fragment's class to start any sounds for example that you don't want to start until the fragment is the fragment in view.
You should use an interface for this.
Here you can find an example of using an OnPageChangeListener.
Here you can find an example of Activity to Fragment communication using interfaces. This example has a lot of code that won't be relevant to your use case, but demonstrates the use of interfaces.
