Android TabLayout does not display contents anymore as soon as fragment is switched

I am using a navigation drawer in my project, with 5 fragments in it. In one fragment I have the in the design support library introduced TabLayout, which includes 2 Fragments. All works fine, except when I leave the fragment which has the TabLayout and switch back to it, all the content is gone.

In each fragment in the TabLayout I have a SwipeRefreshLayout with a ListView in it, they both don't display anything upon switch.

I also noticed the TabLayout starts acting strange. by strange I mean the white indicator starts jumping, you are able to hold it still in the middle of the two tab...

So am I missing something that the TabLayout acts so strange?

The code here: Fragment which contains the TabLayout:

public class MainFragment extends Fragment {
    private static String locale;
    private static ViewPager viewPager;
    private static TabLayout tabLayout;

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        Utils.changeLanguage(getActivity());

        final Context contextThemeWrapper = new ContextThemeWrapper(getActivity(), R.style.MyStyle);

        LayoutInflater localInflater = inflater.cloneInContext(contextThemeWrapper);

        View view = localInflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment1, container, false);

        viewPager = (ViewPager) view.findViewById(R.id.viewpager);
        tabLayout = (TabLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.tabs);

        return view;
    }

    @Override
    public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);

        setupViewPager(viewPager);
        tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(viewPager);
    }

    private void setupViewPager(ViewPager viewPager) {
        LinesTabsAdapter adapter = new LinesTabsAdapter(getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager());
        adapter.addFragment(new Fragment1(), "Fragment 1");
        adapter.addFragment(new Fragment2(), "Fragment2");
        viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
    }


    public static class Fragment extends Fragment {
        private static List<RowItems1> rowItems;
        private static ListView listview;
        private static Adapter1 adapter;

        @Override
        public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {

            View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity1, container, false);

            listview = (ListView) view.findViewById(R.id.listview1);

            return view;
        }

        @Override
        public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);

            updateInfo(true);
        }

        public static void updateInfo() {
            rowItems = new ArrayList<>();
            adapter = new Adapter1(context, rowItems);
           listview.setAdapter(adapter);
        }
    }

    public static class Fragment2 extends Fragment {
        private static List<RowItems2> rowItems;
        private static ListView listview;
        private static Adapter1 adapter;

        @Override
        public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {

            View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_lines_all, container, false);

            listview = (ListView) view.findViewById(R.id.activity2);

            return view;
        }

        @Override
        public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);

            updateInfo(true);
        }

        public static void updateInfo() {
            rowItems = new ArrayList<>();
            adapter = new Adapter2(context, rowItems);
            listview.setAdapter(adapter);
        }
    }
}

I am using the MainFragment as a singleton and replacing the content with it as soon as the user selects it in the navigation drawer. When I switch to it, everything works fine, the ListView contains its data, the SwipeRefreshLayout works fine. When I switch to another fragment using the navigation drawer and switch back to this fragment, it displays nothing, as described above.

EDIT: Am I the only one having trouble with this? If anyone had problems, how did they fix it?

When I used viewPager and back on it, I had empty fragments until switch when I used getSupportFragmentManager.

Try to use: getChildFragmentManager.

Yes, this helped me, getSupportFragmentManager was not working but getChildFragmentManager is working perfectly.Confederate
It's because ViewPager is inside fragment and you need own FragmentManager for every nested fragment to handle inner fragments. https://mcmap.net/q/1176681/-android-fragmenttab-host-and-fragments-inside-fragmentsNorway
