I have 3 fragments A, B and C with A being the start destination of my nav graph. When the user starts the app, I check in fragment A if there are previously stored results. If there are, I want to navigate straight to fragment C. I have managed to get this to work. However, when the user presses back in fragment C in this case, I want them to be taken to fragment B instead of A, and that's what I need help figuring out.
Note: Fragment A is just a setup fragment which is only visited once when the app starts. Which means when the user presses back from fragment B, they are taken to OS home screen.
You can override onBackPress() and replace whatever fragment you are in with FragmentB like this
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
int stackCount = getFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount();
if (stackCount == 1) {
super.onBackPressed(); // if you don't have any fragments in your backstack yet.
} else {
// just replace container with fragment as you normally do;
FragmentManager fm = getFragmentManager();
fm.popBackStack(null, FragmentManager.POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE);//clear backstackfirst and then you can exit the app onbackpressed from home fr
FragmentTransaction transaction = fm.beginTransaction();
transaction.replace(R.id.container, new FragmentB());
transaction.commit();
}
}
This is the original answer ,you can take a look answer by Rainmaker
You can override your onBackPressed on fragment C and call your navController to go back to fragment b creating a new action from C to B
navController.navigate(R.id.action_CFragment_to_BFragment)

I have a main activity that exists out of three fragments. Fragment 2 is the main fragment. On fragment 3 I have a button. Once I click the button it directs the user to a ChatActivity. The ChatActivity has an onBackButtonPressed that should return the user back to fragment 3. However, it seems that it would always return the user to fragment 2 (the main fragment).
How can I bring the user to the fragment they last visited, or at least back to fragment 3?
Edit:
I added this block of code in the button onClick function:
ChatFragment fragment = new ChatFragment();
FragmentManager manager = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction transaction = manager.beginTransaction();
transaction.add(R.id.main_tabPager, fragment);
transaction.addToBackStack(null);
transaction.commit();
When I click the back button in the activity it does not return me to fragment 3 but instead rebuild the fragmentpager and start back at Fragment 2.
When you are opening fragment 3 from main fragment (fragment 2), add fragment 3 into backstack like this:
Fragment3 fragment3 = new Fragment3();
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(R.id.content, fragment3).addToBackStack(null).commit();
You should add all fragments to backstack that you want to return to
Ideally addToBackStack() on fragment transaction should be enough as per documentation, but it seems not true at times, so we have to handle the popping up of the back stack upon Back button pressed by ourselves. I added this to my activity and it worked as expected:
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if (getFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() > 0 ){
getFragmentManager().popBackStack();
} else {
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
Hope it helps.
I have one activity containing one container that will receive 2 fragments.
Once the activity initialises i start the first fragment with:
showFragment(new FragmentA());
private void showFragment(Fragment fragment) {
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.container, fragment, fragment.getTag())
.addToBackStack(fragment.getTag())
.commit();
}
Then when the user clicks on FragmentA, I receive this click on Activity level and I call:
showFragment(new FragmentB());
Now when I press back button it returns to fragment A (thats correct) and when i press again back button it show empty screen (but stays in the same activity). I would like it to just close the app (since the activity has no parent).
There are a lot of posts related with Fragments and backstack, but i can't find a simple solution for this. I would like to avoid the case where I have to check if im doing back press on Fragment A or Fragment B, since i might extend the number of Fragments and I will need to maintain that method.
You are getting blank screen because when you add first fragment you are calling addToBackStack() due to which you are adding a blank screen unknowingly!
now what you can do is call the following method in onBackPressed() and your problem will be solved
public void moveBack()
{
//FM=fragment manager
if (FM != null && FM.getBackStackEntryCount() > 1)
{
FM.popBackStack();
}else {
finish();
}
}
DO NOT CALL SUPER IN ONBACKPRESSED();
just call the above method!
addToBackStack(fragment.getTag())
use it for fragment B only, not for fragment A
I think your fragment A is not popped out correctly, try to use add fragment rather replace to have proper back navigation, however You can check count of back stack using:
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
int count = fragmentManager.getBackStackEntryCount();
and you can also directly call finish() in activity onBackPressed() when you want your activity to close on certain fragment count.
I have a sequence of event via which i have added three fragments to the backstack, one by one. Each of these fragments covers the full screen of the activity.
I have stored the is returned from the commit of Frag1.
Now in Frag3, based on a specific click, I want to go back to Frag1 directly and discard/pop all Fragments in between.
So, when this button is clicked i send a message to the activity which does the following:
getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStack(mFrag1Id, FragmentManager.POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE);
But i just got a blank screen, so i assume no fragment was loaded.
I even tried:
In commit - fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack("Fragment1");
and then
getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStack("Fragment1", FragmentManager.POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE);
But it doesn't work.
Could someone please help me with this?
Thanks.
OK so I found the issue.
FragmentManager.POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE pops all the fragments including the one whose id passed as argument.
SO for example:
getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStack(mFrag1Id, FragmentManager.POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE);
Here it will pop everything on the stack including fragment whose id id mFrag1Id.
from third fragment you should call popBackStack();
twice (one to remove third fragment and the second to remove second fragment )
android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager fm = getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction transaction = fm.beginTransaction();
transaction.remove(ThirdFragment.this);
transaction.commit();
fm.popBackStack();
fm.popBackStack();
When you opened Fragment A and you Navigated to Fragment B and then to Fragment C and then You want to close Fragment C and B and land on Fragment A
Now in some scenario, you want to close Fragment C and Fragment B and you want to land on Fragment A... then use this logic of FragmentManager to do such task.
First get the number of fragment entries in back stack (When we are adding any fragment to addToBackStack("Frag1")) at that time fragment back stack entry will increase.
so get using this
FragmentManager fmManager = activity.getSupportFragmentManager();
Log.e("Total Back stack Entry: ", fmManager.getBackStackEntryCount() + "");
Now assume, you want to close current fragment (Fragment C) and your last fragment (Fragment B) so simple logic is getBackStackEntryCount -2 and at that time your back stack entry count will be 3 (Fragment A, Fragment B and Fragment C)
Here -2 is for because we want to go 2 fragment step back (Fragment C
and Fragment B)
So simple two line of Code is:
if (fmManager.getBackStackEntryCount() > 0) {
fmManager.popBackStack(fmManager.getBackStackEntryAt(fmManager.getBackStackEntryCount()-2).getId(), FragmentMaanger.POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE);
}
You can also do it by adding two time "popBackStack()" and will also work, but it not idle way to do this
FragmentManager fmManager = activity.getSupportFragmentManager();
fmManager.popBackStack();
fmManager.popBackStack();
If you want user to back at the beginning fragment, code snippet below will help you.
public static void popBackStackInclusive(AppCompatActivity activity) {
FragmentManager fragmentManager = activity.getSupportFragmentManager();
for (int i = 1; i < fragmentManager.getBackStackEntryCount(); i++){
try {
int fragmentId = fragmentManager.getBackStackEntryAt(i).getId();
fragmentManager.popBackStack(fragmentId, FragmentManager.POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE);
} catch (Exception e) {
Timber.d("Fragment Back Stack Error: %s", e.getLocalizedMessage());
}
}
}
Also if you want to prevent user to close app when no fragments at back stack, take a look at below.
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
if(fragmentManager.getBackStackEntryCount() > 1) {
super.onBackPressed();
} else {
// TODO: Show dialog if user wants to exit app or;
//finish();
}
}
I have this issue in Android. Consider three Fragments: A, B, C. C can be called from A or from B. Is there anyway to know from which fragment, C was called?
Edited
Ok guys I'm going to explain what I'm trying to do. Suppose I have this call: A calls B, B calls C.
When I press the back button in C It gets me to B, thats fine. But when I press the back button again, it takes me to C, instead of A.
This is my code:
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
//this is the current fragment
Fragment fragmentActual = this.getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(android.R.id.tabcontent);
String fragmentTag = fragmentoActual.getTag().toString();
//If I press the back button in C:
if(fragmentTag.equals("TAG C")){
Fragment removefragment = this.getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("TAG B");
Fragment fragmentClient = this.getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("TAG C");
//If Im NOT passing arguments to B, I know this is a new form
if(removefragment.getArguments()== null){
//I always pass arguments to fragment C, but just in case:
if(fragmentClient.getArguments()!= null){
Bundle mArguments = fragmentClient.getArguments();
//FRAGMENT B
FragmentB fragmentB = new FragmentB ();
fragment.setArguments(mArguments);
FragmentManager manager = this.getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction ft = manager.beginTransaction();
ft.addToBackStack(null);
ft.replace(android.R.id.tabcontent,fragmentB,"TAG B");
ft.commit();
}
}else{
super.onBackPressed();
}
}else{
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
Now I'm going to explain the code. Basically what it does is to replace fragment B, when fragment C is called. I do this, because I need to pass arguments to fragment B. But when I do the replacement, the "history" of the fragment B is lost, I mean when I press back button in B, I cant go back to fragment A (HERE IS WHY I WANTED TO KNOW IF I CAN KNOW WHO CALLS WHOM).
The firts time when I call fragment B, I dont pass arguments because is a blank form. But when I call to C, staying in B, I need to pass arguments to fragment B (when back button is pressed), so It can shows updated information.
Please if there something that is not clear, let me know so I can explain myself better.
Edited 2: This issue has something with this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16703604/back-press-button-when-i-save-a-form-for-the-first-time-a-list-view-is-not-updat. Maybe it does my idea more clear.
The answer of Luksprog I think is the best: "You may want to tackle those issues. You always have the option of passing a Bundle with data to the newly created fragment mentioning who called it. Then using getArgument() in the fragment will know who called it.".
I haven't found another better way.
You can use the setTargetFragment method to set which was the parent fragment. Then you can use the method getTargetFragment to find out who called you.
What you are doing is transitioning between Fragments, call addToBackStack() as part of your FragmentTransaction:
i guess, This is what you need.
private final static String TAG_FRAGMENT = "TAG_FRAGMENT";
private void showFragment() {
final Myfragment fragment = new MyFragment();
final FragmentTransaction transaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
transaction.replace(R.id.fragment, fragment, TAG_FRAGMENT);
transaction.addToBackStack(null);
transaction.commit();
}
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
final Myfragment fragment = (Myfragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(TAG_FRAGMENT);
if (fragment.allowBackPressed()) { // and then you define a method allowBackPressed with the logic to allow back pressed or not
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
You can use FragmentManager for creating a back stack of your fragments. You also have to work with Fragment Transactions first. Further informations see: http://developer.android.com/guide/components/fragments.html#Transactions
I have a header bar (kinda like menu) and 4 fragments (MAIN, A, B, C) from which the MAIN should be 'main/root' fragment for backstack.
Problem i have is when user via menu goes for example MAIN > A > B > C.
If i simply use backstack it will go in reverse order which i don't want.
I need back button to go back to MAIN no matter how user navigated to one of those 3.
My current code (which is wrong, it quits app when not in MAIN and current fragment is switched from other non-MAIN fragment) looks like this:
private void SwitchFragment(Fragment pFragment)
{
FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.main_fl_fragmentcontainer, pFragment);
if (_CurrentFragment == _Frag_Main)
ft.addToBackStack(null);
ft.commit();
_CurrentFragment = pFragment;
}
Your stack must contains 2 fragments at maximum
Main is visible
Main is onBackstack / AorBorC is visible.
User click on back ==> Main is visible.
User click on back ==> application end
I suppose A / B / C are displayed in the same view so in this case,
When user click on your Menu, you have to check if A/ B / C is currently displayed and replace it by the one selected by the user.
private void displayFragment(Fragment pFragment) {
Fragment fr = getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.main_fl_fragmentcontainer);
FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.main_fl_fragmentcontainer, pFragment);
if (_CurrentFragment == _Frag_Main) {
ft.addToBackStack(null);
}
ft.commit();
_CurrentFragment = pFragment;
}
can override OnBackPressed method of your activity.
