I am trying to get a handle to all the new ActionBar and Fragments APIs. I have a main action, and I want it to manage two different tabs. I use ActionBarSherlock to support an older version than ICS.
Each tab contains its own Fragment(each one is a subclass SherlockListFragment) I got it to work mostly well, but I have a problem that I'm sure this is stupid, but I still can not figure it out:
For the first time, each fragment is displayed, everything is in order, the list is filled, and therefore MenuItems are in the ActionBar.
But the second time you see a tab (after swicth and switch-back), neither the list is populated, nor the ActionBar MenuItems.
This is how I switch tabs:
@Override
public void onTabSelected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction transaction) {
SherlockListFragment toAttach =
if (toAttach != null) {
if (toAttach.isAdded() == false) {
transaction.add(R.id.tab_placeholder, toAttach,
REMINDER_FRAGMENT_TAG);
} else {
transaction.attach(toAttach);
}
}
}
And onTabUneselect I separate the fragment:
@Override
public void onTabUnselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction transaction) {
SherlockListFragment toDetach =
if (toDetach != null) {
transaction.detach(toDetach);
}
}
I populate ActionBar lists and menus in onResume:
@Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
fillRemindersList();
}
I also tried it on onStart and onCreateView, but that did not help ...
So what am I missing here? And if there are other problems in my code that I don’t know about, please tell me.
Thank!
EDIT:
I just confirmed that onResumedosen't will be called after I switch tabs, which is definitely wrong, since I disconnect and reconnect them ... Do I switch tabs incorrectly?
