FragmentStateAdapter for ViewPager2 notifyItemChanged not working as expected

Karthick Ramanathan :

I am using ViewPager2 with FragmentStateAdapter and i am calling notifyItemChanged(position). But as expected createFragment method not calling again. Is it is the intended behavior or bug, what should I do

My Code is

    class EEditionPagerAdapter(
    fragmentManager: FragmentManager, lifecycle: Lifecycle, private var date: String
    ) : FragmentStateAdapter(fragmentManager, lifecycle) {

    private var menuList = emptyList<EEditionMenu>()

    override fun getItemCount(): Int = menuList.size

    override fun createFragment(position: Int): Fragment {
        val menu = menuList[position]
        return EEditionListingFragment.newInstance(menu, date)
    }

    fun submitList(list: List<EEditionMenu>) {
        menuList = list
        notifyItemRangeChanged(0, menuList.size)
    }

    fun changeDate(date: String, position: Int){
        this.date = date
        notifyItemChanged(position)
    }
}

When you call notifyItemChanged for FragmentStateAdapter it call ensureFragment(position)that restores the fragment if it has already been created

 private void ensureFragment(int position) {
    long itemId = getItemId(position);
    if (!mFragments.containsKey(itemId)) {
        // TODO(133419201): check if a Fragment provided here is a new Fragment
        Fragment newFragment = createFragment(position);
        newFragment.setInitialSavedState(mSavedStates.get(itemId));
        mFragments.put(itemId, newFragment);
    }
}

Try to override onBindViewHolder and set Date to fragment

   override fun onBindViewHolder(
    holder: FragmentViewHolder,
    position: Int,
    payloads: MutableList<Any>
) {
    super.onBindViewHolder(holder, position, payloads)
    val fragment: EEditionListingFragment? = fragmentManager.findFragmentByTag("f$position") as EEditionListingFragment?
    fragment.updateDate(date)
}
