Fragments inside swipe views rather than just views Android

Question

I have been using this link to implement my two screen tabbed view,

http://developer.android.com/training/implementing-navigation/lateral.html

but my problem currently is that this demo only shows how to implement separate views on each tab such as a single TextView on each, whereas I wish to implement separate fragments on each tab that can interact with each other. For example, if a button is clicked on one fragment, I want it to change the text of a TextView on another fragment in the separate tab.

Currently I am using ONE fragment to implement both views and this is becoming complicated, because I can only do modifications to a certain view in the actual inflater of the view in the onCreateView method, rather than in the entire class.

So basically I want to separate them into 2 fragments and have them be able to interact with each other, but I am not sure how to configure them in the onCreateView method to work with the demo in the link I provided.

Thank you for any assistance you may have!

You can attach individual Fragment instances as pages of a ViewPager (instead of just simple views) using the FragmentPagerAdapter (docs link).
