Custom View Group using Fragments

[zachtom]

I am trying to use a custom view group with cover flow. Instead of an XML layout or view , I am trying to load the view from fragment transaction. Here is the code I am trying to use here,

@OverRide

public View getCoverFlowItem(int i, View reuseableView, ViewGroup viewGroup) {
CustomViewGroup fancyView = null;
if (reuseableView != null) {
fancyView = (CustomViewGroup) reuseableView;
} else
{
fancyView = new CustomViewGroup(context);
fancyView.getFrameLayout().setId(i+10000);
fancyView.setLayoutParams(new FancyCoverFlow.LayoutParams(750, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
}

    FragmentManager fragmentManager = manager;
    FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
    fragmentTransaction.add(fancyView.getFrameLayout().getId(), ItemFragment.init(i));
    fragmentTransaction.commit();





    return fancyView;
}

class CustomViewGroup extends LinearLayout {

    // =============================================================================
    // Child views
    // =============================================================================

    private FrameLayout frameLayout;



    // =============================================================================
    // Constructor
    // =============================================================================

    private CustomViewGroup(Context context) {
        super(context);

        this.setOrientation(VERTICAL);

        this.frameLayout = new FrameLayout(context);

        LinearLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
        this.frameLayout.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);





        this.addView(this.frameLayout);
    }

    // =============================================================================
    // Getters
    // =============================================================================

    private FrameLayout getFrameLayout() {
        return frameLayout;
    }
}    

For me the issue is the getView function is getting called infinite number of times for value i=0. But If I don't commit a fragment transaction it works normal(ie getting called only once for index 0)

Any clue on whats happening here?

Thanks

Sorry but I no longer maintain this project. I will still keep this project as reference for future visitors but I highly recommend to implement the coverflow itself using Android's new RecyclerView.
