Public Methods

public void attachHost (Fragment parent)

Attaches the host to the FragmentManager for this controller. The host must be attached before the FragmentManager can be used to manage Fragments.

public static final FragmentController createController (FragmentHostCallback<?> callbacks)

Returns a FragmentController.

public void dispatchActivityCreated ()

Moves all Fragments managed by the controller's FragmentManager into the activity created state.

Call when Fragments should be informed their host has been created.

public void dispatchConfigurationChanged (Configuration newConfig)

Lets all Fragments managed by the controller's FragmentManager know a configuration change occurred.

Call when there is a configuration change.

public boolean dispatchContextItemSelected (MenuItem item)

Sends a context item selection event to the Fragments managed by the controller's FragmentManager. Once the event has been consumed, no additional handling will be performed.

Call immediately after an options menu item has been selected

Returns
  • true if the context menu selection event was consumed

public void dispatchCreate ()

Moves all Fragments managed by the controller's FragmentManager into the create state.

Call when Fragments should be created.

public boolean dispatchCreateOptionsMenu (Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater)

Lets all Fragments managed by the controller's FragmentManager know they should create an options menu.

Call when the Fragment should create an options menu.

Returns
  • true if the options menu contains items to display

public void dispatchDestroy ()

Moves all Fragments managed by the controller's FragmentManager into the destroy state.

Call when Fragments should be destroyed.

See Also

public void dispatchDestroyView ()

Moves all Fragments managed by the controller's FragmentManager into the destroy view state.

Call when the Fragment's views should be destroyed.

See Also

public void dispatchLowMemory ()

Lets all Fragments managed by the controller's FragmentManager know the device is in a low memory condition.

Call when the device is low on memory and Fragment's should trim their memory usage.

See Also

public boolean dispatchOptionsItemSelected (MenuItem item)

Sends an option item selection event to the Fragments managed by the controller's FragmentManager. Once the event has been consumed, no additional handling will be performed.
