I have this app in which I have a parent fragment, which has 2 child fragments in a ViewPager2 object.
One of the child fragments has an interface to communicate changes on its menu to the parent fragment.
The child fragment in question is TasksListFragment.kt and the parent fragment is TodayFragment.kt
When I try to initialize the interface in the child fragment onAttach() function, I get
FATAL EXCEPTION: main Process: com.rajchenbergstudios.hoygenda, PID:
java.lang.ClassCastException: com.rajchenbergstudios.hoygenda.ui.activity.MainActivity cannot be cast to com.rajchenbergstudios.hoygenda.ui.todaylists.taskslist.TasksListFragment$ChildFragmentListener
I don't understand why I get this error, and it says MainActivity, when the parent is a fragment which is the one implementing the interface in the first place, not the MainActivity.
I have everything set up correctly:
- I have an interface in the child fragment
- The interface is used on the child fragment onCreateMenu to pass the menu object to its interface function
onFragmentMenuChanged(menu: Menu) - I override the child fragment's
onAttach()and initialize the interface:
override fun onAttach(context: Context) {
super.onAttach(context)
childFragmentListener = context as ChildFragmentListener
}
- I write a function called
setListener()which is called from the parent fragment to pass its contextthisto the function parameter which assigns it to the childFragment listener
fun setListener(listener: ChildFragmentListener) {
this.childFragmentListener = listener
}
- The parent fragment implements the child fragment listener as seen in the TodayFragment.kt file
Can you tell me what am I doing wrong or how to implement an interface to effectively communicate from child fragment back to its parent fragment?

CodePudding user response：
Fragment is not a Context i.e fragment is not a child of context .
So when you try to cast context as ChildFragmentListener you are actually casting your Activity to ChildFragmentListener which is giving you this RuntimeException . to make it work you can use childFragmentListener = parentFragment as ChildFragmentListener
Also if your Doing this you do not setListener method anymore.
On other hand i would suggest you do not use listeners to communicate b/w fragments . I see you already using viewModel so just use a shared one to communicate . You can get a shared ViewModel inside child by creating it with parentFragment.
