Android TabLayout inside Fragment

Jacques Krause Published at Dev

Jacques Krause

I am using Navigation Drawer to navigate between fragments they all use the MainActivity toolbar but each fragment has it's own TabLayout with 3 tabs and in each tab I am using RecyclerView to show different text and images.

I did this last time using actvities instead of fragments but now using the drawer it's beter to use fragments.

I have got to a point where the tabs work but as soon as I put the ViewPager in and connect the adapters to the tabs and I open the new fragment from the drawer I get a Null Pointer what could be the problem here?

MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity

    implements NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

    DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
    ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
            this, drawer, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
    drawer.setDrawerListener(toggle);
    toggle.syncState();

    NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
    navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
}

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
    if (drawer.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {
        drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
    } else {
        super.onBackPressed();
    }
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
    return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    int id = item.getItemId();
    return id == R.id.action_settings || super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);

}

@Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    int id = item.getItemId();
    Fragment fragment;

    if (id == R.id.fragment_one) {
        fragment = new NewFragment();
        FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
        ft.replace(R.id.container, fragment);
        ft.commit();

    } else if (id == R.id.fragment_two) {

        fragment = new NewFragment();
        FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
        ft.replace(R.id.container, fragment);
        ft.commit();

    } else if (id == R.id.fragment_three) {

        fragment = new NewFragment();
        FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
        ft.replace(R.id.container, fragment);
        ft.commit();

    }

    DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
    drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
    return true;
}
}

After looking into yours code, I found that you forget to return a fragment in getItem method of PagerAdapter that you overrided from the FragmentStatePagerAdapter and there is no break statement in each case due to which every time a null value was returned.

To doing so you need to create a another new fragment for each page in ViewPager or you can create one new fragment that could use in all page of ViewPager.

You can't use the same recyclerview into the tabs of view pager that you have defined in parent fragment.

activity_fragment_one.xml

 <android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
    tools:context=".NewFragment">

    <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">

        <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
            android:id="@+id/tabs"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
            app:tabTextAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
            app:tabTextColor="#ffffff"
            android:layout_height="?android:actionBarSize"
            app:tabMode="fixed"
            app:tabGravity="fill"/>

    </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
        android:id="@+id/viewpager"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
        android:background="@android:color/white"/>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

I have fixed your fragment and created a new Fragment that you can use in ViewPager Pages.

public class NewFragment extends Fragment {

private RecyclerView mRecyclerView;


@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_fragment_one, container, false);
    TabLayout tabLayout = (TabLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.tabs);
    tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("A"));
    tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("B"));
    tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("C"));
    final ViewPager viewPager = (ViewPager) view.findViewById(R.id.viewpager);
   // mRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) view.findViewById(R.id.recycler_view);
    LinearLayoutManager mLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getActivity());
    mLayoutManager.setOrientation(LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL);
    //mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(mLayoutManager);
    viewPager.setAdapter(new PagerAdapter(getFragmentManager(), tabLayout.getTabCount()));
    viewPager.addOnPageChangeListener(new TabLayout.TabLayoutOnPageChangeListener(tabLayout));
    tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(viewPager);
    tabLayout.setTabMode(TabLayout.MODE_SCROLLABLE);
    tabLayout.setOnTabSelectedListener(new TabLayout.OnTabSelectedListener() {

        @Override
        public void onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
            viewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());
        }

        @Override
        public void onTabUnselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {

        }

        @Override
        public void onTabReselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {

        }
    });

    return view;
}

public class PagerAdapter extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {
    int mNumOfTabs;

    public PagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm, int NumOfTabs) {
        super(fm);
        this.mNumOfTabs = NumOfTabs;
    }


    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int position) {

        switch (position) {
            case 0:
              return new FragmentTab();
            case 1:
                return new FragmentTab();
            case 2:
                return new FragmentTab();

            default:
                return null;
        }
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return mNumOfTabs;
    }
}
}

FragmentTab for each Page in View Pager (or you can create different fragment for each page according to yours need).

public class FragmentTab extends Fragment {
RecyclerView mRecyclerView;

@Nullable
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_tab, container, false);

    mRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) view.findViewById(R.id.recycler_view);
    LinearLayoutManager mLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getActivity());
    mLayoutManager.setOrientation(LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL);
    mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(mLayoutManager);
    RecyclerView.Adapter mAdapter = new AdapterOne();
    mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mAdapter);
    return view;
}
}

fragment_tab.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">
    <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
        android:id="@+id/recycler_view"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        />


</LinearLayout>
