how to pass data from a java class to a fragment in android

So this is was solved my problem. In my sectionsPagerAdapter class i had the below code

    Bundle args = new Bundle();
    args.putString("TeamName", team);
    TeamFragment teamFragment = new TeamFragment();
    teamFragment.setArguments(args);

In onCreateView of my TeamFragment, i had the following

Bundle bundle = this.getArguments();
    mTeam = bundle.getString("TeamName");

hope this can help someone else. Thanks

Communicating data into fragments is typically done through a simple setter function that is called by the activity that instantiates or contains the fragment:

public class MyActivity extends FragmentActivity {
   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundled savedInstanceState) {
     // ...
     TeamFragment fragment =
         (TeamFragment) (getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(fragmentId));
     fragment.setTeamName(teamName);
     // ...
}

For communicating data back to the activity, is typically done using a fragment-specific "Listener" interface. This listener can be attached using the same method (by calling a method on the fragment in the parent activity to register the listener) or it can be done by requiring that the parent Activity implement the listener interface, and casting the parent activity to this listener interface in onAttach() (though the latter approach is not as clean of an approach). Example:

public class MyActivity extends FragmentActivity {
   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundled savedInstanceState) {
     // ...
     TeamFragment fragment =
         (TeamFragment) (getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(fragmentId));
     fragment.setTeamName(teamName);
     fragment.setTeamSelectedListener(new TeamSelectedListenerImpl());
     // ...
}

Or:

public class TeamFragment extends Fragment {
   public interface TeamSelectedListener {
      // ...
   }

   // ...
   @Override
   protected void onAttach(Activity activity) {
      teamSelectedListener = (TeamSelectedListener) activity;
   }
   // ...
}

public class MyActivity
    extends FragmentActivity
    implements TeamFragment.TeamSelectedListener {
    // ...
}
