Trying to Pass an Intent from a SherlockActivity to a SherlockFragment

Trying to Pass an Intent from a SherlockActivity to a SherlockFragment

I want to pass an intent from my SherlockActivity to my SherlockFragment
but I am not getting a clue on how to do this. I want to pass the
CategoryID in MaterialsActivity to BooksFragment below. The code of the
MaterialActivity is below and at the far end the BooksFragment is pasted.
public class MaterialsActivity extends SherlockFragmentActivity{
String categoryID = null;
Context context = null;
Resources resources = null;
IDatabaseHelper databaseHelper = null;
// store the active tab here
public static String ACTIVE_TAB = "activeTab";
//Initializing the Tab Fragments that would be added to this view
AudiosFragment audioFragment = null;
BooksFragment bookFragment = null;
VideosFragment videoFragment = null;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
//setContentView(R.layout.materials);
Intent intent = getIntent();
categoryID = intent.getExtras().getString("categoryID");
context = MaterialsActivity.this;
resources = getResources();
databaseHelper = new DatabaseHelper(context);
final ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
// add tabs
Tab tab1 = actionBar.newTab()
.setText("Books")
.setTabListener(new BooksListener<BooksFragment>(
this, "book", BooksFragment.class));
actionBar.addTab(tab1);
// check if there is a saved state to select active tab
if( savedInstanceState != null ){
getSupportActionBar().setSelectedNavigationItem(
savedInstanceState.getInt(ACTIVE_TAB));
}
new CollectMaterials(context,resources).execute();
}
//This is the BooksFragment Listener that would make the Tab
components to listener to a tab click events
public class BooksListener<T extends SherlockListFragment>
implements ActionBar.TabListener{
private BooksFragment mFragment;
private final Activity mActivity;
private final String mTag;
private final Class<T> mClass;
public BooksListener(Activity activity, String tag, Class<T>
clz) {
mActivity = activity;
mTag = tag;
mClass = clz;
}
public void onTabSelected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
// Check if the fragment is already initialized
if (mFragment == null) {
// If not, instantiate and add it to the activity
mFragment = (BooksFragment) Fragment.instantiate(
mActivity, mClass.getName());
// mFragment..setProviderId(mTag); // id for event provider
ft.add(android.R.id.content, mFragment, mTag);
} else {
// If it exists, simply attach it in order to show it
ft.attach(mFragment);
}
}
public void onTabUnselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
if (mFragment != null){
// Detach the fragment, because another one is being
attached
ft.detach(mFragment);
}
}
public void onTabReselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
// User selected the already selected tab. Usually do
nothing.
}
}
}
//This is my fragment code below. I would to get the CategoryID here
public class BooksFragment extends SherlockListFragment{
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup
container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.books, container, false);
// do your view initialization here
return view;
}
}
