Android: TabHost - passing Parameters to Fragments

Question

I am working on a TabHost with a WebView inside of each Fragment. What I do is:

for(int i = 0; i < numberOfTabs; i++){
        mTabManager.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec(tabNames[i]).setIndicator(tabNames[i]),
                Web.class, null);
 }

How can I pass parameters to each Fragment. In this case I want to pass an URL to each Fragment inside the TabHost.

Thx in advance.

Did you get this? I need the same. Thanks! – Outfight

I am not sure. I think I implemented a static class which holds the data. Or something like that. Currently I am not working on this particular project anymore. – Fife

Finally I get the solution. You can pass parameters using a Bundle in the last parameter of "addTab" where you have "null".

for(int i = 0; i < numberOfTabs; i++){
        Bundle b = new Bundle();
        b.put...
        mTabManager.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec(tabNames[i]).setIndicator(tabNames[i]),
                Web.class, b);
 }

And then in the Fragment you can get the Bundle with getArguments().

I hope it will be useful for someone in the future

but inside the fragment's onCreateView(), getArguments() always gives me null, do you know why? – Acutance

Yo have to do it in the onCreate – Outfight

Sorry, it was my bad, I forgot to pass it while instantiating the tab in my tabListener :) – Acutance
