Adapted FragmentPageAdapter.java

/*
    Edited FragmentPageAdapter.java by Ivan Seidel | github.com/ivanseidel

    This was made to add the method 'clear', allowing it to force a clear on the caching of fragments.

/**
 * Implementation of {@link android.support.v4.view.PagerAdapter} that
 * represents each page as a {@link Fragment} that is persistently
 * kept in the fragment manager as long as the user can return to the page.
 *
 * <p>This version of the pager is best for use when there are a handful of
 * typically more static fragments to be paged through, such as a set of tabs.
 * The fragment of each page the user visits will be kept in memory, though its
 * view hierarchy may be destroyed when not visible.  This can result in using
 * a significant amount of memory since fragment instances can hold on to an
 * arbitrary amount of state.  For larger sets of pages, consider
 * {@link FragmentStatePagerAdapter}.
 *
 * <p>When using FragmentPagerAdapter the host ViewPager must have a
 * valid ID set.</p>
 *
 * <p>Subclasses only need to implement {@link #getItem(int)}
 * and {@link #getCount()} to have a working adapter.
 *
 * <p>Here is an example implementation of a pager containing fragments of
 * lists:
 *
 * {@sample development/samples/Support4Demos/src/com/example/android/supportv4/app/FragmentPagerSupport.java
 *      complete}
 *
 * <p>The <code>R.layout.fragment_pager</code> resource of the top-level fragment is:
 *
 * {@sample development/samples/Support4Demos/res/layout/fragment_pager.xml
 *      complete}
 *
 * <p>The <code>R.layout.fragment_pager_list</code> resource containing each
 * individual fragment's layout is:
 *
 * {@sample development/samples/Support4Demos/res/layout/fragment_pager_list.xml
 *      complete}
