How to call an activity method from a fragment in Android App?
This example demonstrates how do I call an activity method from a fragment in android.
Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.
Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:padding="8dp" tools:context=".MainActivity"> <FrameLayout android:id="@+id/frameLayout" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" /> </RelativeLayout>
Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import androidx.fragment.app.FragmentManager;
import androidx.fragment.app.FragmentTransaction;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.frameLayout, new SampleFragment()).commit();
}
public void FragmentMethod() {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Method called From Fragment", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}Step 4 − Create a new Fragment Activity and add the following codes −
SampleFragment.java −
import android.os.Bundle;
import androidx.fragment.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
public class SampleFragment extends Fragment {
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_sample, container, false);
((MainActivity) getActivity()).FragmentMethod();
return view;
}
}fragment_sample.xml −
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" tools:context=".SampleFragment"> <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Calling a simple method from Fragment" android:textAlignment="center" android:textSize="24sp" android:textStyle="bold" /> </RelativeLayout>
Step 5 − Add the following code to androidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="app.com.sample"> <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round" android:supportsRtl="true" android:theme="@style/AppTheme"> <activity android:name=".MainActivity"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <categoryandroid:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> </application> </manifest>
