How to use context in a fragment?


This example demonstrate about How to use context in a fragment

Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.

Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.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">
   <LinearLayout
      android:id="@+id/linearlayout01"
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:layout_height="fill_parent"
      android:background="#ccc"
      android:layout_weight="1"
      android:orientation="vertical">
      <fragment android:name="com.example.myapplication.FirstFragment"
         android:id="@+id/frag_1"
         android:layout_width="fill_parent"
         android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
   </LinearLayout>
   <LinearLayout
      android:id="@+id/linearlayout02"
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:layout_height="fill_parent"
      android:layout_weight="1"
      android:background="#eee"
      android:orientation="vertical">
      <fragment android:name="com.example.myapplication.SecondFragment"
         android:id="@+id/frag_2"
         android:layout_width="fill_parent"
         android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
   </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

In the above code, we have taken two fragments.

Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java

package com.example.myapplication;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {
   @Override
   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
   }
}

Step 4 − Add the following code to src/ FirstFragment.java

package com.example.myapplication;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class FirstFragment extends Fragment {
   @Override
   public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      ViewGroup root = (ViewGroup) inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment, null);
      TextView but = (TextView) root.findViewById(R.id.text);
      but.setText(""+getActivity());
      return root;
   }
}

Step 4 − Add the following code to src/ SecondFragment.java

package com.example.myapplication;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.annotation.NonNull;
import android.support.annotation.Nullable;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class SecondFragment extends Fragment {
   TextView textView;
   View view;
   @Nullable
   @Override
   public View onCreateView(@NonNull LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment, container, false);
      return view;
   }
}
