How to call a method from a activity(not parent ) in a fragment?

Question

I found this Call an activity method from a fragment but it didn't help. I am getting typecasting error. New to fragments. Please help.

This is my fragment where i want to call that method on click of a button

   public class Fragment1 extends Fragment {
    View view;
    public CardView stepEnableUi, enablewaterui, stepCountingUi, countingwaterUI;


    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // Inflate the layout for this fragment
        view = inflater.inflate ( R.layout.fragment_fragment1, container, false );
        initialization ( );
        return view;
    }

    public void initialization() {
        final Button enablestep = view.findViewById ( R.id.stepsenable );
        final Button enablewater = view.findViewById ( R.id.waterenable );
        stepEnableUi = view.findViewById ( R.id.stepenableui );
        enablewaterui = view.findViewById ( R.id.waterenableui );
        stepCountingUi = view.findViewById ( R.id.stepcountingUI );
        countingwaterUI = view.findViewById ( R.id.watercountingUI );

        enablestep.setOnClickListener ( new View.OnClickListener ( ) {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
               ((StepCounter)getActivity ()).connectGoogle ( );
            }
        } );

This is my method in my activity

public class StepCounter extends AppCompatActivity implements OnDataPointListener,
    GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks,
    GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener {
private static final int REQUEST_OAUTH = 1;
private static final String AUTH_PENDING = "auth_state_pending";
private boolean authInProgress = false;
Button historyView;
private GoogleApiClient mApiClient;
TextView stepsonbar, steps, min, km, cal;
private ResultCallback<Status> mSubscribeResultCallback;
private ResultCallback<Status> mCancelSubscriptionResultCallback;
private ResultCallback<ListSubscriptionsResult> mListSubscriptionsResultCallback;
FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
FitChart fitChart;



  @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView( R.layout.activity_step_counter);
        initialize();

    if (savedInstanceState != null) {
        authInProgress = savedInstanceState.getBoolean(AUTH_PENDING);
    }
    initCallbacks();

    mApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
            .addApi(Fitness.SENSORS_API)
            .addScope(new Scope(Scopes.FITNESS_ACTIVITY_READ_WRITE))
            .addApi(Fitness.RECORDING_API)
            .addScope(new Scope(Scopes.FITNESS_ACTIVITY_READ))
            .addConnectionCallbacks(this)
            .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
            .enableAutoManage(this, 0, this)
            .build();

}
public void initialize(){
    steps=findViewById(R.id.steps);
    stepsonbar=findViewById(R.id.stepsonbar);
    min = findViewById(R.id.min);
    km = findViewById(R.id.km);
    cal = findViewById(R.id.cal);
    fitChart=findViewById ( R.id.fitchart );
    fitChart.setMinValue ( 0f );
    fitChart.setMaxValue ( 50000f );
    historyView=findViewById ( R.id.buttonweekdata );
    historyView.setOnClickListener ( new View.OnClickListener ( ) {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Intent i=new Intent ( StepCounter.this,HistoryWalking.class );
            startActivity ( i );
        }
    } );
}

@Override
protected void onStart() {
    super.onStart();
}

public void connectGoogle(){
    mApiClient.connect();
}
@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode,int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if( requestCode == REQUEST_OAUTH ) {

        authInProgress = false;
        if( resultCode == RESULT_OK ) {

            if( !mApiClient.isConnecting() && !mApiClient.isConnected() ) {
                mApiClient.connect();
                Fragment1 fragment = (Fragment1) fm.findFragmentById(R.id.homescreen);
                fragment.showStepCounter();

            }
        } else if( resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED ) {
            Log.e( "GoogleFit", "RESULT_CANCELED" );
        }
    } else {
        Log.e("GoogleFit", "requestCode NOT request_oauth");
    }
}

Here is my logcat

@androidnoobdev i have already said bro that i have tried that answer — satyajit das, Mar 14 '18 at 08:59
This means you are casting different activity to different one. Check your fragment have StepCounter as parent activity or MainActivity. — Wasim K. Memon, Mar 14 '18 at 09:00
parent activity of my fragment is MainActivity. StepCounter is a different one — satyajit das, Mar 14 '18 at 09:06

First You need to commit your fragment in Activity with Tag.

getSupportFragmentManager()
            .beginTransaction()   
            .replace(frame, fragment, "YOUR FRAGMENT NAME")
            .commit();

Now you will able to find your fragment by Tag.

Fragment fragment = getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("YOUR FRAGMENT NAME");

Cast your fragment

if(fragment instanceof YourFragment) {

   YoutFragment yourFragment = (YoutFragment)fragment;

   yourFragemtn.yourMethod();

}

Can you clarify a little bit? it will be more helpful. I am currently using view pager for showing my fragments. – satyajit das Mar 14 '18 at 09:12
Ok if you use viewpager the you can add ViewPager.SimpleOnPageChangeListener for tracking current position. – Aziz Mar 14 '18 at 17:39

Since StepCounter class is not the parent Activity for the fragment Fragment1,try the following

StepCounter mStepCounter=new StepCounter();
mStepCounter.connectGoogle();

Make sure to initialize the values inside those method properly
