Pass data from Activity to Fragment by Bundle

Question

I am developing a android app which uses a class DetailActivity extends FragmentActivity and five fragments {DetailHeader, DetailInfo, DetailMap, DetailHelp, DetailMore}. I met a error when I was trying to pass data from DetailActivity to DetailHeader by Bundle. This error show: "NullPointerException" in class DetailHeader. Please help me. I sorry about my English, it is not good.

This is source code of DetailActivity:

import android.content.Intent;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentPagerAdapter;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;

public class DetailActivity extends FragmentActivity {

public static final int FRAGMENT_HEADER = 0;
public static final int FRAGMENT_INFO = 1;
public static final int FRAGMENT_MAP = 2;
public static final int FRAGMENT_HELP = 3;
public static final int FRAGMENT_MORE = 4;
public static final int FRAGMENTS = 5;
private FragmentPagerAdapter _fragmentPagerAdapter;
private ViewPager _viewPager;
private List<Fragment> _fragments = new ArrayList<Fragment>();
public static final String TAG_NAME = "FestivalName";
private String festivalName=" Alo";

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_detail);

    // Create fragments.
            _fragments.add(FRAGMENT_HEADER, new DetailHeader());    
            _fragments.add(FRAGMENT_INFO, new DetailInfo());
            _fragments.add(FRAGMENT_MAP, new DetailMap());
            _fragments.add(FRAGMENT_HELP, new DetailHelp());
            _fragments.add(FRAGMENT_MORE, new DetailMore());

            // Setup the fragments, defining the number of fragments, the screens
            // and titles.
            _fragmentPagerAdapter = new FragmentPagerAdapter(
                    getSupportFragmentManager()) {
                @Override
                public int getCount() {
                    return FRAGMENTS;
                }

                @Override
                public Fragment getItem(final int position) {
                    return _fragments.get(position);
                }

                @Override
                public CharSequence getPageTitle(final int position) {
                    switch (position) {
                    case FRAGMENT_HEADER:
                        return "Title Header";
                    case FRAGMENT_INFO:
                        return "Title Info";
                    case FRAGMENT_MAP:
                        return "Title Map";
                    case FRAGMENT_HELP:
                        return "Title Help";
                    case FRAGMENT_MORE:
                        return "Title More";
                    default:
                        return null;
                    }
                }
            };


            _viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
            _viewPager.setAdapter(_fragmentPagerAdapter);
            try {
                Bundle bundle=new Bundle();
                bundle.putString(TAG_NAME,"Alo");
                DetailHeader header = new DetailHeader();
                header.setArguments(bundle);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.detail, menu);
    return true;
}



  }

This is source code of DetailHeader:

public class DetailHeader extends Fragment {

ImageView imageView;
TextView textHeader;
public String FestivalName;

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.detail_header, null);
    imageView =(ImageView)view.findViewById(R.id.grid_outer_image);
    textHeader =(TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.grid_inner_text);
    imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.dengiong);
    try {
        Bundle bundle = this.getArguments();
        FestivalName = bundle.getString(DetailActivity.TAG_NAME);
        //FestivalName = getArguments().getString(DetailActivity.TAG_NAME);
        textHeader.setText(FestivalName);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        //Log.e("Detail Header", e.getMessage());
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    return view;
}

 }

This is my error:

Answer 1

its because you are creating 2 different object of your fragment

 _fragments.add(FRAGMENT_HEADER, new DetailHeader()); // you are return this fragment which doesn't have bundle 

and

        try {
            Bundle bundle=new Bundle();
            bundle.putString(TAG_NAME,"Alo");
            DetailHeader header = new DetailHeader(); // you are set bundle to this fragment which not return  
            header.setArguments(bundle);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

so do like this

public class DetailActivity extends FragmentActivity {

public static final int FRAGMENT_HEADER = 0;
public static final int FRAGMENT_INFO = 1;
public static final int FRAGMENT_MAP = 2;
public static final int FRAGMENT_HELP = 3;
public static final int FRAGMENT_MORE = 4;
public static final int FRAGMENTS = 5;
private FragmentPagerAdapter _fragmentPagerAdapter;
private ViewPager _viewPager;
private List<Fragment> _fragments = new ArrayList<Fragment>();
public static final String TAG_NAME = "FestivalName";
private String festivalName = " Alo";

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_detail);

    DetailHeader detailHeader = new DetailHeader();

    // do same for all fragment if you pass value with fragment 

    // Create fragments.
    _fragments.add(FRAGMENT_HEADER, detailHeader);
    _fragments.add(FRAGMENT_INFO, new DetailInfo());
    _fragments.add(FRAGMENT_MAP, new DetailMap());
    _fragments.add(FRAGMENT_HELP, new DetailHelp());
    _fragments.add(FRAGMENT_MORE, new DetailMore());

    // Setup the fragments, defining the number of fragments, the screens
    // and titles.
    _fragmentPagerAdapter = new FragmentPagerAdapter(
            getSupportFragmentManager()) {
        @Override
        public int getCount() {
            return FRAGMENTS;
        }

        @Override
        public Fragment getItem(final int position) {
            return _fragments.get(position);
        }

        @Override
        public CharSequence getPageTitle(final int position) {
            switch (position) {
            case FRAGMENT_HEADER:
                return "Title Header";
            case FRAGMENT_INFO:
                return "Title Info";
            case FRAGMENT_MAP:
                return "Title Map";
            case FRAGMENT_HELP:
                return "Title Help";
            case FRAGMENT_MORE:
                return "Title More";
            default:
                return null;
            }
        }
    };

    _viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
    _viewPager.setAdapter(_fragmentPagerAdapter);
    try {
        Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
        bundle.putString(TAG_NAME, "Alo");
        detailHeader.setArguments(bundle); // its same fragment which you
                                            // are returning
    } catch (Exception e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}

}
