Enhanced version of FragmentStatePageAdapter which allows to remove the saved states, so that fragments can be recreated with new state.

/**
 * Implementation of {@link android.support.v4.view.PagerAdapter} that
 * uses a {@link Fragment} to manage each page. This class also handles
 * saving and restoring of fragment's state.
 *
 * <p>This version of the pager is more useful when there are a large number
 * of pages, working more like a list view.  When pages are not visible to
 * the user, their entire fragment may be destroyed, only keeping the saved
 * state of that fragment.  This allows the pager to hold on to much less
 * memory associated with each visited page as compared to
 * {@link FragmentPagerAdapter} at the cost of potentially more overhead when
 * switching between pages.
 *
 * <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/FragmentStatePagerSupport.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}
