How to update tab fragment inside a Fragment from base activity in Android?

Question

Initially we had activity for our app,on that we have return value from activity to activity using onActivityResult. But now we are changing into fragment,but we are not getting the return value between fragment. Is there is any solution for onActivityResult between fragment.

@Mike M: I have only one Activity as a Base for entire application and implemented swipe menu. In that there is a communication need to happen between a sub fragment and the Fragment residing on the current view. That's what I said as between fragments. — Satheeshkumar, Nov 19 '15 at 12:45

@Mike: No mike we could not pass directly to that fragments, that is a tab fragment inside a base fragment . That base fragment is attached to the Base activity. — Satheeshkumar, Nov 20 '15 at 04:54
Same basic method. Implement interfaces to communicate between the base Activity and the base Fragment, and between the base Fragment and the tab Fragment. — Mike M., Nov 20 '15 at 05:07

yes there is a solution:

on your activity: Don't do anything. If you for some reason absolutely needs to, you must always call super like following.

@Override protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
   super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}

then, your Fragments, you call:

public void doSomethingThatNeedsActivityResult(){
    startActivityForResult(intent, YOUR_FRAG_REQUEST_CODE)
}

@Override
public void onActivityResult (int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data){
   if(requestCode == YOUR_FRAG_REQUEST_CODE){
       // here the result
   }
}

important to notice is that you should not call getActivity().startActivityForResult(...) it must be called using the fragment specific method.
