InboxFragment

Question

I have been going over the Modifying Fragments and have a problem that I cannot figure out. Located in SectionsPagerAdapter.java

Have followed the instructions and cannot find where I did something wrong.

In the SectionsPagerAdapter class I have the below method where return new gives me an error:

    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int position) {
        // getItem is called to instantiate the fragment for the given page.
        // Return a PlaceholderFragment (defined as a static inner class
        // below).
        return new InboxFragment();
    }

// the InboxFragment class is listed below:

package com.danrock.ribbit;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.ListFragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;

public class InboxFragment extends ListFragment {
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_inbox, container,
                false);
        return rootView;
    }
}

The way Fragments are included in the project has changed since these videos were recorded, and it causes some headaches!

First things first, take a look at the Teacher's Notes on that video and see if changing your import statements fixes it. There are links there to other forum posts about this same issue, too.

If that doesn't work, please reply with the full code for your SectionsPagerAdapter class.

Below is my SectionsPagerAdapter section.

package com.danrock.ribbit;

import java.util.Locale;

import android.content.Context;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentPagerAdapter;


/**
 * A {@link FragmentPagerAdapter} that returns a fragment corresponding to
 * one of the sections/tabs/pages.
 */
public class SectionsPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {

    protected Context mContext;

    public SectionsPagerAdapter(Context context, FragmentManager fm) {
        super(fm);
        mContext = context;
    }

    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int position) {
        // getItem is called to instantiate the fragment for the given page.
        // Return a PlaceholderFragment (defined as a static inner class
        // below).
        return new InboxFragment();
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        // Show 2 total pages.
        return 2;
    }

    @Override
    public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
        Locale l = Locale.getDefault();
        switch (position) {
        case 0:
            return mContext.getString(R.string.title_section1).toUpperCase(l);
        case 1:
            return mContext.getString(R.string.title_section2).toUpperCase(l);
        }
        return null;
    }
}

Ben,

I noticed that my imports did not copy from above.

Below is the top portion of the file.

package com.danrock.ribbit;

import android.app.ActionBar; import android.app.Activity; import android.app.FragmentTransaction; import android.content.Intent; import android.os.Bundle; import android.support.v13.app.FragmentPagerAdapter; import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager; import android.util.Log; import android.view.Menu; import android.view.MenuItem;

import com.parse.ParseAnalytics; import com.parse.ParseUser;

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements ActionBar.TabListener {

I no longer get that same error message, after changing the imports.

Now I get a message for

getFragmentManager "The constructor SectionsPagerAdapter(MainActivity, FragmentManager) is undefined.

and

getSupportFragmentManager The Method getSupportFragmentManager() is undefined for the type MainActivity.

    // Create the adapter that will return a fragment for each of the three
    // primary sections of the activity.\
    mSectionsPagerAdapter = new SectionsPagerAdapter(this, getFragmentManager());

    // primary sections of the app.
    mSectionsPagerAdapter = new SectionsPagerAdapter(this, getSupportFragmentManager());

Thank you Ben,

That took care of one statement. The only one I have now is the one below

mSectionsPagerAdapter = new SectionsPagerAdapter(this, getFragmentManager());

The constructor SectionsPagerAdapter(MainActivity, FragmentManager) is undefined

Sorry Ben, I don't understand what you mean by you need to go back to the version you had with getSupportFragmentManager().

Also, should I go to your Android Studio course instead?

I was hoping to have something to show by Friday, but that looks out of the question now.

It works! Thank you Ben!

Now I can continue, and maybe one day be as smart as you!

HI there I am facing the same problem but with a twist;

I did all of the above things but my code has a little bit of difference than the once specified here. i.e. the import statements are different

import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentPagerAdapter;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBar;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;

import com.parse.ParseUser;
import com.startaddis.walia.Helper.Helper;

the one import line that might different from the code above is the v7.app.ActionBarActivity. the problem is since we have now extended from FragmentActivity my Mainactiity is no more extending from ActionBarActivity. for that reason i get an error on this line

final ActionBar actionBar =    getSupportActionBar();

and can't even compile. it can't resolve getSupportActionBar(); and if i change it to getActionBar(); only i believe i won't get the backward compatibility and also will get an error with deprecated features like

actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);

For Reference purpose i have included my whole MainActivity.java below:

import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentPagerAdapter;
