java - ViewPager.setOffscreenPageLimit(0) has no effect at all. How do I only load one page at a time in a ViewPager?

Question

even when I set oViewPager.setOffscreenPageLimit(0) my view pager still loads 1 off screen page on each side of the visible page.

How do I make it only load the page when the user slides to it?

My adapter if it helps:

public class MainPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {
    protected static final String[] CONTENT = new String[] { "page 1", "page 2", "page 3", "page 4", };

    private int mCount = CONTENT.length;

    public MainPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
        super(fm);
    }

    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int position) {
        //return TestFragment.newInstance(CONTENT[position % CONTENT.length]);
        return MainFragment.newInstance(position);
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return mCount;
    }

    @Override
    public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
      return MainPagerAdapter.CONTENT[position % CONTENT.length];
    }

    public void setCount(int count) {
        if (count > 0 && count <= 10) {
            mCount = count;
            notifyDataSetChanged();
        }
    }


}

Another alternative is to use a OnPageChangeListener, and whenever a page change occurs call a refresh method in your fragments.

This will require you to set a higher OffScreenPageLimit, but the fragments will be updated every time one is brought into view.

pager.setOnPageChangeListener(new OnPageChangeListener() {

     @Override
     public void onPageSelected(int position){
         ((MyRefreshableFragment)pager.getAdapter().getItem(position)).refresh();
     }

     @Override
     public void onPageScrolled(int arg0, float arg1, int arg2) {}
     @Override
     public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int arg0) {}
  });
