Problems with FragmentPagerAdapter

Question

I'm trying to make a slidescreen with viewpager and fragments so that I can load different layouts per fragment and give each page different functionality.

I followed a tutorial to accomplish this.

The error I'm getting when hovering over public Fragment getItem(int arg0): The return type is incompatible with FragmentPagerAdapter.getItem(int)

and error #2: The constructor FragmentPagerAdapter(FragmentManager) is undefined --> getting this one when hovering super(fm);

package com.example.spui;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Fragment;
import android.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentPagerAdapter;

public class MyFragmentPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter{

    final int PAGE_COUNT = 5;

    /** Constructor of the class */
    public MyFragmentPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
        super(fm);
    }

    /** This method will be invoked when a page is requested to create */
    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int arg0) {

        MyFragment myFragment = new MyFragment();
        Bundle data = new Bundle();
        data.putInt("current_page", arg0+1);
        myFragment.setArguments(data);
        return myFragment;
    }

    /** Returns the number of pages */
    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return PAGE_COUNT;
    }
}

Solution

You are using the wrong FragmentManager import. Use android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager instead.

Same problem with Fragment - use android.support.v4.app.Fragment

Note: if you are building an API11+ only application and want to use the native Fragments, then you should instead change your FragmentPagerAdapter import to android.support.v13.app.FragmentPagerAdapter.

Awesome!! Thanks for the very fast response! That fixed out my errors :D. can you point me in the right direction to use different layouts for every page? Or should I make a new question for this, Because still trying to figure that one out Btw. "You can accept an answer in 3 minutes"

getItem can return any Fragment you want - if you want totally different functionality on each page, just return a different Fragment based on the page number.

Do I do this in MyFragment or in MyFragmentPagerAdapter? I update the question with a new class so you can see 'MyFragment' What is difference between support v13 and v4?

[ianhanniballake]

Support v13 uses the android.app versions of Fragment, FragmentManager, etc. that were introduced in API v11, rather than the android.support.v4.app versions which are available for all API levels.

And additional questions/issues should be asked as separate StackOverflow questions.

Thanks for the information about the versions. Ow okay, I'll ask a new question then and I'll delete the added question. Thanks for your help @ianhanniballake
