Building a Dynamic UI with Fragments ---- Communicating with Other Fragme (三)

In order to reuse the Fragment UI components, you should build each as a completely self-contained, modular component that defines its own layout and behavior. Once you have defined these reusable Fragments, you can associate them with an Activity and connect them with the application logic to realize the overall composite UI.

是说为了复用UI组件，你应该建立单独的、模块化的并且本身包含布局和行为Fragment。然后根据程序逻辑利用Activity来复用他们。

Often you will want one Fragment to communicate with another, for example to change the content based on a user event. All Fragment-to-Fragment communication is done through the associated Activity. Two Fragments should never communicate directly.

Fragment之间的通信只能通过Activity，两个Fragments不应该直接通信。

Define an Interface

To allow a Fragment to communicate up to its Activity, you can define an interface in the Fragment class and implement it within the Activity. The Fragment captures the interface implementation during its onAttach() lifecycle method and can then call the Interface methods in order to communicate with the Activity.

利用接口来进行Fragment向Activity的通信。
例如：

public class HeadlinesFragment extends ListFragment {    OnHeadlineSelectedListener mCallback;    // Container Activity must implement this interface    public interface OnHeadlineSelectedListener {        public void onArticleSelected(int position);    }    @Override    public void onAttach(Activity activity) {        super.onAttach(activity);        // This makes sure that the container activity has implemented        // the callback interface. If not, it throws an exception        try {            mCallback = (OnHeadlineSelectedListener) activity;        } catch (ClassCastException e) {            throw new ClassCastException(activity.toString()                    + " must implement OnHeadlineSelectedListener");        }    }    ...}

Implement the Interface

In order to receive event callbacks from the fragment, the activity that hosts it must implement the interface defined in the fragment class.

public static class MainActivity extends Activity        implements HeadlinesFragment.OnHeadlineSelectedListener{    ...    public void onArticleSelected(int position) {        // The user selected the headline of an article from the HeadlinesFragment        // Do something here to display that article    }}

Deliver a Message to a Fragment

The host activity can deliver messages to a fragment by capturing the Fragment instance with findFragmentById(), then directly call the fragment’s public methods.

For instance, imagine that the activity shown above may contain another fragment that’s used to display the item specified by the data returned in the above callback method. In this case, the activity can pass the information received in the callback method to the other fragment that will display the item:

通过调用findFragmentById()方法获取Fragment的实例，主Activity可以直接调用Fragment的public方法传递消息给这个Fragment。

public static class MainActivity extends Activity        implements HeadlinesFragment.OnHeadlineSelectedListener{    ...    public void onArticleSelected(int position) {        // The user selected the headline of an article from the HeadlinesFragment        // Do something here to display that article        ArticleFragment articleFrag = (ArticleFragment)                getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.article_fragment);        if (articleFrag != null) {            // If article frag is available, we're in two-pane layout...            // Call a method in the ArticleFragment to update its content            articleFrag.updateArticleView(position);        } else {            // Otherwise, we're in the one-pane layout and must swap frags...            // Create fragment and give it an argument for the selected article            ArticleFragment newFragment = new ArticleFragment();            Bundle args = new Bundle();            args.putInt(ArticleFragment.ARG_POSITION, position);            newFragment.setArguments(args);            FragmentTransaction transaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();            // Replace whatever is in the fragment_container view with this fragment,            // and add the transaction to the back stack so the user can navigate back            transaction.replace(R.id.fragment_container, newFragment);            transaction.addToBackStack(null);            // Commit the transaction            transaction.commit();        }    }}
