How to use setArguments() and getArguments() methods in Fragments?

I have 2 fragments: (1)Frag1 (2)Frag2.

Frag1

bundl = new Bundle();
bundl.putStringArrayList("elist", eList);

Frag2 dv = new Frag2();
dv.setArguments(bundl);
FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.the_fragg,dv);
ft.show(getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.the_fragg)); 
ft.addToBackStack(null);
ft.commit();

How do I get this data in Frag2?

Just call getArguments() in your Frag2's onCreateView() method:

public class Frag2 extends Fragment {
    
     public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater,
         ViewGroup containerObject,
         Bundle savedInstanceState){
         //here is your arguments
         Bundle bundle=getArguments(); 
  
        //here is your list array 
        String[] myStrings=bundle.getStringArray("elist");   
     }
}

Eg: Add data:-

   Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
   bundle.putString("latitude", latitude);
   bundle.putString("longitude", longitude);
   bundle.putString("board_id", board_id);
   MapFragment mapFragment = new MapFragment();
   mapFragment.setArguments(bundle);

Eg: Get data :-

String latitude =  getArguments().getString("latitude")

You have a method called getArguments() that belongs to Fragment class.

in Frag1:

Bundle b = new Bundle();

b.putStringArray("arrayname that use to retrive in frag2",StringArrayObject);

Frag2.setArguments(b);

in Frag2:

Bundle b = getArguments();

String[] stringArray = b.getStringArray("arrayname that passed in frag1");

It's that simple.

##Instantiating the Fragment the correct way!

How to do it?

Fragment code

public MyFragment extends Fragment {

    private String displayMsg;
    private TextView text;

    public static MyFragment createInstance(String displayMsg)
    {
        MyFragment fragment = new MyFragment();
        Bundle args = new Bundle();
        args.setString("KEY",displayMsg);
        fragment.setArguments(args);           //set
        return fragment;
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle bundle)
    {
        displayMsg = getArguments().getString("KEY"):    // get 
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInlater inflater, ViewGroup parent, Bundle bundle){
        View view = inflater.inflate(R.id.placeholder,parent,false);
        text = (TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.myTextView);
        text.setText(displayMsg)    // show msg
        returm view;
   }

}

> Let's say you want to pass a String while creating an Instance. This > is how you will do it.

MyFragment.createInstance("This String will be shown in textView");

2) Sample code on Fragments

for those like me who are looking to send objects other than primitives, since you can't create a parameterized constructor in your fragment, just add a setter accessor in your fragment, this always works for me.

If you are using navigation components and navigation graph create a bundle like this

val bundle = bundleOf(KEY to VALUE) // or whatever you would like to create the bundle

then when navigating to the other fragment use this:

findNavController().navigate(
        R.id.action_navigate_from_frag1_to_frag2,
        bundle
    )

and when you land the destination fragment u can access that bundle using

Bundle b = getArguments()// in Java

or

val b = arguments// in kotlin
