I'm building an Android Application (minimum SDK Level 10, Gingerbread 2.3.3) with some Fragments in a ViewPager. I'm using ActionBarSherlock to create an ActionBar and android-viewpagertabs to add tabs to the ViewPager just like in the Market client.
I have one global menu item that I want to be shown on every tab/fragment. On the first of the three tabs I want to have two additional menu items.
But now two strange things happen:
First if I start the app, everything seems to be fine, I can see all three menu items on the first page and only one item if i swipe to the second and third tab. But if I swipe back to the second tab from the third one, I can see all three items again which shouldn't happen. If I swipe back to the first and then again to the second tab, everything is fine again.
The other strange thing is that every time I rotate the device, the menu items from the fragment are added again, even though they are already in the menu.
Code of the FragmentActivity that displays the ViewPager and its tabs:
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {
public static final String TAG = "MainActivity";
private ActionBar actionBar;
private Adapter adapter;
private ViewPager viewPager;
private ViewPagerTabs tabs;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.volksempfaenger);
actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
adapter = new Adapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
adapter.addFragment(getString(R.string.title_tab_subscriptions),
SubscriptionGridFragment.class);
// adding more fragments here
viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.viewpager);
viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
tabs = (ViewPagerTabs) findViewById(R.id.tabs);
tabs.setViewPager(viewPager);
}
public static class Adapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter implements
ViewPagerTabProvider {
private FragmentManager fragmentManager;
private ArrayList<Class<? extends Fragment>> fragments;
private ArrayList<String> titles;
public Adapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
fragmentManager = fm;
fragments = new ArrayList<Class<? extends Fragment>>();
titles = new ArrayList<String>();
}
public void addFragment(String title, Class<? extends Fragment> fragment) {
titles.add(title);
fragments.add(fragment);
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
return fragments.size();
}
public String getTitle(int position) {
return titles.get(position);
}
@Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
try {
return fragments.get(position).newInstance();
} catch (InstantiationException e) {
Log.wtf(TAG, e);
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
Log.wtf(TAG, e);
}
return null;
}
@Override
public Object instantiateItem(View container, int position) {
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager
.beginTransaction();
Fragment f = getItem(position);
fragmentTransaction.add(container.getId(), f);
fragmentTransaction.commit();
return f;
}
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
BaseActivity.addGlobalMenu(this, menu);
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
return BaseActivity.handleGlobalMenu(this, item);
}
}
Code of the fragment that shall have its own menu items:
public class SubscriptionGridFragment extends Fragment {
private GridView subscriptionList;
private SubscriptionListAdapter adapter;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
}
// ...
@Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
inflater.inflate(R.menu.subscription_list, menu);
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// ...
}
}
