ViewPager: Performing an Operation In Between Scrolls

Currently, the project in question is set up using a ViewPager which has an adapter capable of loading 4 different fragments. The last 3 Fragments are dependent upon the first fragment giving them a value (the SQL foreign key comes from the a value from the first item in the ViewPager).

My question is: how do I retrieve a value from the first Fragment's EditText, perform an SQL Operation and pass a value once the user attempts to "swipe" to the next tab?

Note, that I am trying to do this on swipe, and not via button. So far I have attempted to override OnPageScrolled, which yielded a null pointer when referring to the first fragment. I am assuming that the first fragment has been destroyed when I attempt to call it's hasPopulatedClassName() function

For Reference, the offending activity. Note the comment under OnPageScrolled

public class ActivityClassEdit extends FragmentActivity implements ViewPager.
        private ClassEditPagerAdapter aPager;

        //Views
            private ViewPager vPager;

        //Boolean telling us if we are good to move on to Criteria, People, or Links
            private boolean mClassInserted;

        @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_class_edit);
            if(getIntent().hasExtra(CM.BKEY_PASSED_SEMESTERKEY)){
                //Set the views
                vPager=(ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.ace_pager);
                //Instantiate the pager and set it

                aPager=new ClassEditPagerAdapter(this, getIntent().getExtras().getLong(CM.BKEY_PASSED_SEMESTERKEY, -1));
                vPager.setAdapter(aPager);
                vPager.setOnPageChangeListener(this);


            } else {
                //TODO handle not having a semester key
            }
        }

    //=============PageScrollListener==============
        @Override
        public void onPageScrolled(int position, float positionOffset, int positionOffsetPixels) {

            if(!mClassInserted) {
                if (position == 1) {

                    //FragmentClassEdit fCE = (FragmentClassEdit) aPager.getRegisteredFragment(0);
                    FragmentClassEdit fCE = (FragmentClassEdit) aPager.getRegisteredFragment(0);
                    if (fCE.hasPopulatedClassName() == false) {
                        vPager.setCurrentItem(0);
                        Toast.makeText(this, getResources().getString(R.string.toast_typeInClassName), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

                    } else {
                        //Save to shared Preferences, in case we have to delete on user cancellation
                        //null pointer here!!!
                        long mInsertedClassID= Long.getLong(fCE.insertClass());
                        getSharedPreferences(CM.SP, Activity.MODE_PRIVATE).edit().putLong(CM.SP_LASTINSERTEDCLASS, mInsertedClassID).apply();
                        aPager.setClassID(mInsertedClassID);
                        vPager.setCurrentItem(position);
                    }
                }

            } else {
                vPager.setCurrentItem(position);
            }
        }

And here is the ViewPagerAdapter:

public class ClassEditPagerAdapter extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter{

    private FragmentClassEdit fCE;
    private Fragment fCrit;
    private Fragment fLinks;
    private Fragment fPeople;


    private FragmentManager fragmentManager;
    private String[] sTabText;


    SparseArray<Fragment> registeredFragments = new SparseArray<Fragment>();

    private Context ctx;

    private long semID;
    private long cID;


    public ClassEditPagerAdapter(FragmentActivity context, long semesterID){
        super(context.getSupportFragmentManager());
        fragmentManager=context.getSupportFragmentManager();
        ctx= context;
        sTabText = ctx.getResources().getStringArray(R.array.cepa_titles);
        cID=-1;
        semID=semesterID;
    }


    public void setClassID(long classID){
        cID=classID;
    }

    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int fragID) {
        switch (fragID) {
            //FragClassEdit
            case 0:

                fCE = FragmentClassEdit.newInstance(semID);


                return fCE;

            //FragTypeEdit
            case 1:


                fCrit = FragmentCriteriaEdit.newInstance(cID);
                return fCrit;




            //FragPeople
            case 2:
                fPeople = FragmentPeopleEdit.newInstance(cID);
                return fPeople;

            //FragLinks
            case 3:
                fLinks = FragmentLinkEdit.newInstance(cID);
                return fLinks;

        }
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public Object instantiateItem(ViewGroup container, int position){
        Fragment fragment = (Fragment) super.instantiateItem(container, position);
        registeredFragments.put(position, fragment);
        return fragment;
    }

    @Override
    public void destroyItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
        registeredFragments.remove(position);
        super.destroyItem(container, position, object);
    }

    public Fragment getRegisteredFragment(int position) {
        return registeredFragments.get(position);
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return 4;
    }

    @Override
    public String getPageTitle(int position){
        return sTabText[position];
    }

}
