Tab content disappeared after change page

Question

I have a weird issue with my Tab (TabHost or TabContent) in my Fragment that contains a ViewPager.

The problem is that when I change the page, then I turn back to the fragment with tab and viewPager, my content or view disappeared.

Here's my code for TabFragment

    }
}

Any help would be very appreciated.

Use getChildFragmentManager() instead of getSupportFragmentManager() – Chane

@Yugesh: where should I put it? cause I can't put inside onNavigationDrawerItemSelected, i got warning like this 'The method getChildFragmentManager() is undefined for the type MainActivity' – Farah

can you add the MainActivity code. – Chane

@Yugesh: I have add my MainActivity, I hope you can give me inspiration – Farah

Thanks for your code, it helps me a lot, the answer of thaku huni fix the problem of content erased. "I had the same problem. In your TabFragment class (GameTabFragment) replace getFragmentManager with getChildFragmentManager. Instead of: adapter = new TabPagerAdapter(this.getFragmentManager()); Use this: adapter = new TabPagerAdapter(this.getChildFragmentManager()); This should fix it." – Ochlophobia

Answer 1

I had the same problem. In your TabFragment class (GameTabFragment) replace getFragmentManager with getChildFragmentManager.

Instead of: adapter = new TabPagerAdapter(this.getFragmentManager());

Use this: adapter = new TabPagerAdapter(this.getChildFragmentManager());

This should fix it.

Thank you, it's really works! It'll be perfect, if you explain why it happens) – Falk

Really really thank you. This solution worked for after so man hours wasting.. – Dilley

Answer 2

I have 3 tabs and experienced same issue. I used below code and problem fixed.

pager.setOffscreenPageLimit(2);

Answer 3

In PagerFragment 's onResume() add this:

@Override
public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();

    for (Fragment fragment : getFragmentManager().getFragments()) {
        if (fragment instanceof Tab1Fragment || fragment instanceof Tab2Fragment) {
            FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
            ft.detach(fragment);
            ft.attach(fragment);
            ft.commit();
        }
    }
}

Answer 4

It may be too late, but I was stack with the same issue for hours even of all of the above answers, so I ended up making my own one which consists of:

Using

• getChildFragmentManager() to commit the first transaction (the commit you usually do in the root Fragment which is one of your viewpager's tabs)
• getFragmentManager() to commit the rest of transactions (used to replace the nested fragments).

This might be an answer to this question IllegalArgumentException: No view found for id for fragment --- ViewPager in ViewPager too.

Hope this is going to help someone-else too!
