android - FragmentPagerAdapter notifyDataSetChanged not working

Question

I got a FragmentPagerAdapter. It's getItem method can return a fragment according to data it has from the outside. After I update the data its suppose to display I call notifyDataSetChanged and yet nothing happened. I DID override the getItemPosition method to return POSITION_NONE:

public static class TabsAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter implements TabHost.OnTabChangeListener,
        ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener
{
    private final Context mContext;
    private final TabHost mTabHost;
    private final ViewPager mViewPager;
    private final ArrayList<TabInfo> mTabs = new ArrayList<TabInfo>();
    private PagerTabsFragments fragmentDisplayInfo = null; // for now only a
                                                            // single size
                                                            // back
                                                            // stack

    static class PagerTabsFragments
    {
        public int tabPosition;
        public Fragment fragmentToDisplay;
        public Object fragmentInfo;

        public PagerTabsFragments(int tab, Fragment frag, Object info)
        {
            tabPosition = tab;
            fragmentToDisplay = frag;
            fragmentInfo = info;
        }
    }

    public void SetFragmentToDisplay(int tabPosition, Fragment frag, Object info)
    {
        fragmentDisplayInfo = new PagerTabsFragments(tabPosition, frag, info);
        notifyDataSetChanged();
    }

    public void CancelFragmentToDisplay()
    {
        fragmentDisplayInfo = null;
    }
...
@Override
    public Fragment getItem(final int position)
    {
        if ((fragmentDisplayInfo != null) && (fragmentDisplayInfo.tabPosition == position))
        {
            return fragmentDisplayInfo.fragmentToDisplay;
        }
        final TabInfo info = mTabs.get(position);
        return Fragment.instantiate(mContext, info.clss.getName(), info.args);
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemPosition(Object item)
    {
        if (fragmentDisplayInfo == null)
        {
            return super.getItemPosition(item);
        }
        return POSITION_NONE;
    }
...

And the update from outside is in a click event which sets the fragmentDisplayInfo var. I debuged and saw that the fragmentDisplayInfo is indeed initialized and the getItemPosition method does return POSITION_NONE, but the getItem method is not even called. Why is that?

EDIT:

If you hadn't done so as well, please notice that overiden part of the adapter:

 @Override
public int getItemPosition(Object item)
{
    return POSITION_NONE;
}

I'm not sure about this, but you can try to use FragmentStatePagerAdapter instead of FragmentPagerAdapter . The thing is, i've also run into this issue, and it helped me
