title: Passing arraylist from one activity to fragment of another
body: <p>I am trying to pass an arraylist from one activity to another activity's fragment. I searched a lot for the solution but couldn't get a working answer. </p>
  
  <p>This is where I am passing the arraylist.</p>
  
  <pre><code>    Intent intent = new Intent(SizeActivity.this,CartActivity.class);
                  intent.putExtra("PrintList", photoPrintsList);
                  startActivity(intent);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Accepting in the activity with the fragment.</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class ExampleActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
  
  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_cart);
  
      if (savedInstanceState == null) {
          Fragment newFragment = new CartActivityFragment();
          newFragment.setArguments(getIntent().getExtras());
          FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
          ft.commit();
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And this is the fragment. How do I pass data from one activity to another fragment.</p>
  
  <pre><code> private ArrayList&lt;PhotoPrints&gt; printsArrayList = new ArrayList&lt;&gt;();
  private String TAG = "CartActivityFragment";
  
  
  @Override
  public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                           Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_cart, container, false);
  
      return view;
  }
  
  @Override
  public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
  
      Bundle b =  getArguments();
      if(b != null) {
          Log.d(TAG,b.size() + "");
          printsArrayList = b.getParcelableArrayList("PrintList");
          Log.d(TAG,"Got arraylist");
      } else {
          Log.d(TAG,"Null");
      }
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>EDIT:</p>
  
  <p>I found that my onCreateView of the fragment is being called before the onCreate of the holding activity. This way I am not able to relay data from the activity to the fragment. Have a look at the Log.</p>

  <p>How do I bypass this behaviour?</p>
  
  <p>Edit2: I have tested extensively. I am able to receive the data in the activity successfully. I put it in a bundle and set the bundle as argument. But I am not able to receive the bundle in the fragment. It is always giving me a null value.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried putting getArguments in onCreateView as well as onActivityCreated, both don't work. Please help.</p>
