I am trying to do the following use case in Android Fragments. I have 2 fragments.
Fragment A -> Fragment B
When a user does something in Fragment B, I want to have the back stack as follows
Fragment A -> Fragment C. So, when the user presses back I want the user to go back to Fragment A.
I have tried the following
mFragmentManager.popBackStackImmediate();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fMgr.beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.base, Fragment_C, "1")
.addToBackStack(null)
.commitAllowingStateLoss();
The problem here is that I can see Fragment A for a short period of time before Fragment C is shown
If I do the following
mFragmentManager.popBackStackImmediate();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fMgr.beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.base, Fragment_C, "1")
.addToBackStack(null)
.commitNowAllowingStateLoss();
I get the error
This transaction is already being added to the back stack
I can get Fragment C to show up if I do this BUT
mFragmentManager.popBackStackImmediate();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fMgr.beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.base, Fragment_C, "1")
.commitNowAllowingStateLoss();
This works and I don't see Fragment A and see Fragment C but the back button takes the user out of the application. So, is it possible that we can pop the back stack of the fragment and then add another fragment to the back stack w/o showing Fragment A AND the back button takes the user back to Fragment A
Here is an easy method to add fragments to fragments or to adapters within fragments...
from your base activity, make your fragment manager static. assume this activity is called dashboard.
static FragmentManager support;
Don't forget to initialize this in onCreate.
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.layout_dashboard);
support = getSupportFragmentManager();
define your new fragment inside your adapter or fragment.
users_item_fragment dialog = new users_item_fragment();
//also, let's add some data...
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putString("device", devicesList.get(position));
use the following method to add the fragment easily wherever you would like
//pick an easily remembered tag
public void replace(Fragment fragment, String tag){
FragmentManager man = dashboard.support;
FragmentTransaction fragt = man.beginTransaction();
if(!fragment.isAdded()) {
dashboard.lastTag = dashboard.fragtag;//not needed, but helpful w/ backpresses
fragt.add(R.id.fragment_container, fragment, tag)
.hide(man.findFragmentByTag(fragtag)).commit();
dashboard.fragtag = dashboard.tag;//not needed, but helpful w/ backpresses
}
if(fragment.isAdded() && fragment.isHidden()) {
dashboard.lastTag = dashboard.fragtag;//not needed, but helpful w/ backpresses
fragt.show(fragment);
fragt.hide(man.findFragmentByTag(fragtag)).commit();
dashboard.fragtag = dashboard.tag;//not needed, but helpful w/ backpresses
}
}
To implement this with backpresses working correctly, add this in you onBackPress method of your main activity:
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
FragmentManager man = getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = man.beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.hide(getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(fragtag))
.show(getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(lastTag)).commit();
fragtag = lastTag;// holds the last fragment
}
}
It's easy to see the logic here and easy to manipulate back press events using this.

I have 2 Activites A & B, In Activity A I managed fragment back stack but in one case as like below:
I have 4 fragments in Activity going from fragment 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 then from 4th fragment I'm going to Activity B now what i want is on press of back button fragment 4 of Activity should be opened and then on back fragment 3 and so on.
I'm using following function to replace the fragment and manage back stack
private void changeFragment(Fragment fragment) {
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
fragmentManager.popBackStack(null, FragmentManager.POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE);
fragmentManager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.act_home_fl_container, fragment).commit();
}
On back press
boolean isPopFragment = getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() > 0 ? true : false;
if (isPopFragment) {
getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStack();
}
I got success upto here but when I'm going to Activity B from 4th fragment and coming back to Activity A, I'm not able to manage back stack of fragments of Activity A.
I'm not having any how to start with it.
you can override onBackPressed inside your activities, check which fragment is on top and decide what to do as you wish:
#Override
public void onBackPressed()
{
// code here
super.onBackPressed(); // check if you need this, depends on your needs
}
Use this code to change fragment
public static void addFragment( final Fragment newFragment, final Fragment hideFragment) {
final FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
final FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.hide(hideFragment);
fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.activity_home_container, newFragment, newFragment.getClass().getSimpleName());
fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(hideFragment.getClass().getSimpleName());
fragmentTransaction.commitAllowingStateLoss();
}
newFragment "Fragment you want to add"
hideFragment "Fragment which is on container"
just use addToBackStack(tag_name) before commit
You can add en extension function in kotlin
fun AppCompatActivity.replaceFragment(containerId: Int, fragment: Fragment) =
supportFragmentManager.beginTransaction()
.replace(containerId, fragment, fragment.javaClass.name)
.addToBackStack(fragment.javaClass.name).commit()
i have app like this
one activity and inside it >
fragment a (loaded when run app also from menu can open it )
fragment b (open it from just menu)
fragment c (can open it from fragment a and also can open it from menu)
also inside fragment c there are 4 child fragments
in main activity(using navigation drawer as source) i call fragment a in oncreate like this
FragmentManager fragmentManager=getSupportFragmentManager();
fragmentManager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.fragment_place,new First_Fragment()).addToBackStack("First").commit();
my problem is how to control back button to always back to fragment a and when fragment a is open close app
i was using addToBackStack(null) but is not what i want because will show all history of fragments that i opened
When adding fragment a to the back stack "addToBackStack(String name)" pass in a name.
Then listen for on back presses in your fragments
FragmentManager fm = getFragmentManager();
fm.addOnBackStackChangedListener(new OnBackStackChangedListener() {
#Override
public void onBackStackChanged() {
}
});
make sure to stop listening when each fragment is not being shown.
Then you can pop back to the named fragment added to the back stack
FragmentManager fm = getActivity()
.getSupportFragmentManager();
fm.popBackStack ("name", FragmentManager.POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE);
Make sure the rest of your fragment transactions are not added to the back stack. This should give you the behavior you want.
addToBackStack(String tag) is used to add the fragment to backstack and it contains the string as parameter. This parameter can be null or have some value.
If you pass null, it will add your fragment to backstack with tag null. addToBackStack(null) doesn't mean that your fragment is not added to backstack.
If you want your fragment will not be added to backstack, then just delete this line.
If you are adding your fragment to backstack and want it to be visible onBackPressed, then you can use
getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStackImmediate(/* Fragment TAG */,0);
CODE:- Try the below code and let me know.
Copy the below function in your main Activity.
/**
* function to show the fragment
*
* #param name fragment to be shown
* #param tag fragment tag
*/
public void showFragment(Fragment name, String tag) {
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
// check if the fragment is in back stack
boolean fragmentPopped = fragmentManager.popBackStackImmediate(tag, 0);
if (fragmentPopped) {
// fragment is pop from backStack
} else {
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.fragment_container, name, tag);
fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(tag);
fragmentTransaction.commit();
}}
Show fragment using the below code.
showFragment(yourFragment, yourFragmentTag);
In mainActivity onBackPressed.
#override
public void onBackPressed(){
FragmentTransaction fts = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
if (fragmentManager.getBackStackEntryCount() >= 2) {
// always show your fragment a here
showFragment(new FragmentA(), FragmentA.class.getSimpleName());
} else {
// finish your activity
}
}
I’m developing an android application that makes heavy use of fragments, I’m running into an issue and I’ve been unable to find a solution so far.
The flow is this: the app is launched and MainActivity is the first responder, now, depending on user interaction several fragments gets loaded and pushed onto the stack.
Here is an example:
Main Activity -> fragment A -> fragment B -> fragment C -> etc..
Back history is enabled like so:
fragment C -> fragment B -> fragment A -> etc..
Everything works perfectly fine as long as my application is in foreground but everything breaks when the application goes in background.
If I’m on fragment B for example and I press the home button the application goes in background and when I restore it back it starts from MainActivity with fragment A.
Also, the toolbar shows the title of fragment B and, since fragment A contains a recyclerview I can see parts of fragment B between item rows, like a background image.
This is how I load fragments:
public void loadFragment(Fragment fragment, Boolean addToStack) {
// Load fragment
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.frame_container, fragment);
fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
// show back button
if (addToStack) {
// Code to show the back button.
}
else if (fragmentManager.getBackStackEntryCount() > 0 && !addToStack) {
hideBackButton();
fragmentManager.popBackStack(null, FragmentManager.POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE);
}
fragmentTransaction.commitAllowingStateLoss();
}
I call this function from MainActivity and from the fragments:
MyFragment theFragment = new MyFragment();
MainActivity.instance.loadFragment(theFragment, true);
What I want to achieve is that when the application is restored it gets straight to the previously loaded fragment, keeping the entire "back" history. How can I do this?
I'm not sure if other portions of code are needed, but if so I'll post them as required.
call the onResume() function:
public void onResume(){
Fragment frg = null;
frg = getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("Your_Fragment_TAG");
final FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.detach(frg);
ft.attach(frg);
ft.commit();
}
Ok so, after a lot of research I found the issue… and the issue was a mistake of mine.
I’d like to report it here for everyone that might run into the same issue.
At first I tried to force fragment replacement on onResume() function like so:
Fragment f = getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.container);
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.frame_container, f);
fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
However android should handle all of this automatically, at least in my knowledge, and so I tried to dig further and I finally narrowed it down to my onStart() method.
Basically I was registering the EventBus and making a function call
if (!EventBus.getDefault().isRegistered(this)) {
EventBus.getDefault().register(this);
UserNetworkManager userNetworkManager = new UserNetworkManager(MainActivity.mainActivity);
userNetworkManager.fetchFeed();
}
This code was creating the issue and after all it was not necessary to put it there, so I moved it to the onCreate() method, cleaned up my code a little bit and everything works fine now.
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.graph_fragment_holder, new GraphFragment(), "GRAPH_FRAGMENT")
.commit();
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.list_fragment_holder, new ListFragment(), "LIST_FRAGMENT")
.commit();
//getFragmentManager().executePendingTransactions();
GraphFragment graphFragment = (GraphFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("GRAPH_FRAGMENT");
graphFragment.setData(data);
ListFragment listFragment = (ListFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("LIST_FRAGMENT");
listFragment.setData(data);
I've supplied a tag so I'm not sure why findFragmentByTag() returns null.
What I've tried from reading other questions:
this.setRetainInstance(true) in the oncreate of both fragments.
Both fragment constructors are empty public fragmentName(){}.
tried executePendingTransactions after adding the fragments.
tried add instead of replace on the fragments (edited)
I was confused about this for a long time. First, you need to save the fragment you are replacing by pushing it onto the back stack. The tag you supply is put on the fragment you are adding, not the one you are pushing onto the back stack. Later, when you do push it onto the back stack, that tag goes with it. Here's code with objects broken out to make it easier to trace. You must call 'addToBackStack' before 'commit'.
GraphFragment grFrag = new GraphFragment();
FragmentTransaction tr = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
tr.replace(R.id.fragment_container, grFrag, "GRAPH_FRAGMENT");
// grFrag is about to become the current fragment, with the tag "GRAPH_FRAGMENT"
tr.addToBackStack(null);
// 'addToBackStack' also takes a string, which can be null, but this is not the tag
tr.commit();
// any previous fragment has now been pushed to the back stack, with it's tag
ListFragment liFrag = new ListFragment();
FragmentTransaction tr = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
tr.replace(R.id.fragment_container, liFrag, "LIST_FRAGMENT");
// liFrag is is about to become the current fragment, with the tag "LIST_FRAGMENT"
tr.addToBackStack(null);
tr.commit();
// 'grFrag' has now been pushed to the back stack, with it's tag being "GRAPH_FRAGMENT"
Call getFragmentManager().executePendingTransactions() after fragment transaction.
getFragmentManager()
.beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.container, new ExampleFragment(), "YOUR TAG HERE");
.commit();
//after transaction you must call the executePendingTransaction
getFragmentManager().executePendingTransactions();
//now you can get fragment which is added with tag
ExampleFragment exampleFragment = getFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("YOUR TAG HERE");
I was having the same problem of findFragmentByTag() always returning null.
Eventually I tracked it down, I was overriding onSaveInstanceState() in my Activity but not calling super. As soon as I fixed that findFragmentByTag() returned the Fragment as expected.
You can use
fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(yourFragmentTag);
After that you can reuse it with
getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(yourFragmentTag);
Answered here, just need to call getSupportFragmentManager().executePendingTransactions(); after your findByTag or findById
In my case I had to create a class level FragmentManager object and then use it instead of using getSupportFragmentManager() directly.
public class Main extends BaseActivity {
FragmentManager fragmentManager;
#Override
protected void onCreate(#Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.fragmain);
fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
initFrag1();
}
private void initFrag1() {
String name = Frag1.class.getSimpleName();
if (fragmentManager.findFragmentByTag(name) == null) {
fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.frag_container, new Frag1(), name)
.addToBackStack(name)
.commit();
}
}
}
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();
}
}
