Unable to load tab in PagerSlidingTabStrip when fragment is replaced - android-listview

Question

I'm trying to implement a viewpager with a PagerSlidingTabStrip instead of a TabView. The viewpager has three tabs in which each listview displays a list of events. The three tabs are called Past, Tonight and Future.
I've set up the slider as the github page suggests:
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.all_events_main_strip, container, false);
// Set up the ViewPager, attaching the adapter and setting up a listener for when the
// user swipes between sections.
pager = (ViewPager) v .findViewById(R.id.pager_main);
tabs = (PagerSlidingTabStrip) v.findViewById(R.id.tabs);
adapter = new MyPagerAdapter(getFragmentManager());
pager.setAdapter(adapter);
tabs.setViewPager(pager);
// Set Present tab as default
pager.setCurrentItem(1);
return v;
}
When the app starts the Main Activity adds for the first time this fragment and everything works great. 3 swipeable tabs with 3 listviews. (c.f. code section)
Here is the problem:
I've noticed that when I press the back button and replace the fragment again, in order to reopen the viewpager, the tab in the middle doesn't show any listview. If I swype left or right the content in the other tabs is loaded and displayed but the Present Tab remains empty.
When I debug the ToNightEvents ListFragment isn't called at all.
Do you guys have any suggestions to solve the problem?
The code:
The code is structured as follows: After the onCreateView I've added an OnDestroyView method to remove the fragment but it didn't work... Then in the fragmentPagerAdapter each page is called as a fragment in the getItem method. Finally at the end of the code you can see the three ListFragment classes in which a listview is populated through an AsyncTask
public class FragmentAllEvents extends Fragment

private static final String TAG_UID = "uid";
private static final String TAG_LOGO = "logo";

Answer 1

This would normally work if you were in an Activity, however I guess you are in a Fragment since the code you posted is the method onCreateView(). The problem is that you are trying to use the FragmentManager of the Activity and you should be using the Fragment's FragmentManager. This FragmentManager is not what you need. Try this instead:
adapter = new MyPagerAdapter(getChildFragmentManager());
I think I'm a little bit late but if anyone happens to have the same error here is the solution =)

Answer 2

The following fixed it for me:
Add an OnBackStackChangedListener to the fragment manager.
In the onBackStackChanged method, get references to both the ViewPager and the PagerSlidingTabStrip (pager and tabs in your example). If the appropriate fragment is currently active, do the following:
pager.invalidate();
tabs.invalidate();
pager.setAdapter(new MyPagerAdapter(getFragmentManager()));
tabs.setViewPager(pager);
