When a Fragment is made visible (i.e., the selected page in your ViewPager), its setUserVisibleHint() method is called. You can override that method in your TwoFragment and use it to trigger a refresh.

public class TwoFragment extends Fragment {

  @Override
  public void setUserVisibleHint(boolean isVisibleToUser) {
    super.setUserVisibleHint(isVisibleToUser);
    if (isVisibleToUser) {
      // Refresh your fragment here
    }
  }

great example Thanks you – Fakhriddin Abdullaev Mar 01 '18 at 09:27
This method works good, except, when I have for example swiping tablayout and user swipes to switch between tabs, there is a delay with the refresh, since it starts to refresh the view when its completly swiped to the other fragment. I have noticed that because I have circle progress bar with loading animation, and it looks stupid when I swipe. I have to tap tablayout tabs and then it refreshes nicely. Any idea how to solve this? I think it needs to destroy tab which is off screen, then it would load nicely, but how? – frank17 Mar 07 '19 at 23:29
I have tried to add `else{ getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().detach(this).commit();` but when I swipe to other fragment, it is completly empty for a second, then it start drawing all the views.... any ideas how to solve it? – frank17 Mar 07 '19 at 23:34
Good solution, but the method is now deprecated. Do you have an idea how to use user visibility idea with newer methods? – LadyWoodi Mar 09 '20 at 09:39
As per the deprecation, you'll want to use `onResume()` as the signal that you're visible – ianhanniballake Mar 09 '20 at 13:56

Inside Your fragment class use the below code:

@Override
public void setUserVisibleHint(boolean isVisibleToUser) {
    super.setUserVisibleHint(isVisibleToUser);
    if (isVisibleToUser) {
        getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().detach(this).attach(this).commit();
    }
}

Try This

ViewPager mViewPager = (ViewPager)findViewById(R.id.pager);
mViewPager.setOffscreenPageLimit(2);

As of 2020 it is advisable to use architecture components(MVVM) such as LiveData and viewModel

This way all Fragments can share the same state

see docs here https://developer.android.com/jetpack/guide

Try this - it works for me

This code reloads current fragment, when it visible to user. Works when swiping and when back button pressed on next fragment.

@Override
    public void setUserVisibleHint(boolean isVisible) {
        super.setUserVisibleHint(isVisible);
        if (isVisible) {
                FragmentTransaction ftr = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
                ftr.detach(this).attach(this).commit();
        }
    }

If you wouldn't mind refreshing every fragment every time a tab changes, you could simply override the getItemPosition() method of your FragmentPagerAdapter and make it return always the value POSITION_NONE. Example:

@Override
public int getItemPosition(Object object) {
   return POSITION_NONE;
}

By doing that, you tell android to refresh the fragment each time the view pager tries to get it. Performance wise, it isn't the best practice. So there is a second approach:

First, create an interface to be called when your need refresh:

public interface Updatable {
   public void update();
}

Then, make your fragments implement this interface:

public class MyFragment extends Fragment implements Updateable {

   ...

   @Override
   public void update() {
     // refresh your fragment, if needed
   }
}

If your really wish to not update your first fragment, do nothing in its update() method.

Third, override the getItemPosition method and call update(). This will be called every time a fragment gets selected:

@Override
public int getItemPosition(Object object) {
   Updatable f = (Updatable) object;
   if (f != null) {
      f.update();
   }
  return super.getItemPosition(object);
}

Most of this code came from this answer.

you could use ViewPager.addOnPageChangeListener to listen to when the fragments are swiped and incorporate some type of action there.
