Home screen launcher Android - android

I have 5 Fragments and of course my .MainActivity.
MainActivity
FragOne
FragTwo
---
FragFive
and then:
activity_main.xml
app_bar_main.xml
content_main.xml
nav_header_main.xml
lay1.xml
lay2.xml
---
lay5.xml
When the application is loaded it's a blank screen but then obviously when I click the navigation bar the pages will load.
My question is, is there anyway I can use a fragment as my launcher page, because if I tried making a home page on any other activity like content_main or acivity_main, obviously then it would show on every page which I don't want.
But then if I made a new activity and set that as the launcher,obviously that would work but then my navigation bar would be missing I presume? What's the best way to go about this?

What you want is not that big a problem. Just load a fragment using SupportFragmentManager in your MainActivity. If this Fragment is a one time view only (before you change to your other fragments using Navigation Drawer), then a simple loading of your launcher Fragment in the MainActivity is enough.
Example for loading it once in MainActivity:
In your onCreate method in MainActivity :
///////////Setting up Fragment as Starting Page////////////
LauncherFragment fragment = new LauncherFragment();
android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction =
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.fragment_container, fragment,"launcher");
fragmentTransaction.commit();
This Launcher Fragment won't be seen after you change to other Fragments using NavigationDrawer (unless you call it somewhere else, which according to your question you don't want)
If instead of using separate LauncherFragment you decide you want to load FragOne itself, you will need to manually highlight your Drawer's First item (FragOne) after setting up FragOne
navigationView.getMenu().getItem(0).setChecked(true); ////Set Navigation drawer manually

Android: how to create a custom back button for fragments in a KIOSK app

I CANT use ActionToolbar because this is a KIOSK app with a custom header fragment that needs to be displayed at all time. Hence my situation, I have a basic ImageButton on the said header fragment, and I want to implement the functionality of a basic ActionToolbar.
I add my fragment to the main container like this:
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.main_container, UserListFragment.newInstance())
.addToBackStack("foo")
.commit();
The question is, how do I restore the state of my main_container before the current fragment was replaced with UserListFragment.
Like : fragment A is showing, replacing fragment A with B, pressing some button in my header fragment to pop the fragment B so again fragment A is showing.
You should consider switching to Android Jetpack Navigation Component it was created for your type of situation.

Android - how to slide screens, inside a fragment

I've created an app, that has a main activity with a drawer menu so the user can click on some option and a fragment is open inside the activity.
What I'd like to do is to have several screens in one of the options and to navigate between them by tabs/slide the screen.
I saw an example of doing it inside one activity and with a fragment per 'sub-screen', my question is: how can I do it when I'm already 'inside' a fragment?
Thanks
Fragments can support having other Fragments inside them. The key to making this work is to remember to use getChildFragmentManager() to get the Fragment's FragmentManager instead of getFragmentManager() which gets the Activity's FragmentManager.
If you want to swipe between views, use a ViewPager inside your Fragment UI. The ViewPager will use a FragmentPagerAdapter to handle the Fragments for display.

Fragment Transaction inside a fragment with a Tabbed actionbar not working

I want to be able to replace the current fragment which is loaded via the actionbar tabs using a ViewPager with another fragment that is not connected to any tab like this
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_FADE)
.replace(id,frag , "VideoEdit")
.commit();
however when I do this it loads the fragment all right but the tabs don't work anymore and everytime I click on a tab it just stays on this fragment. I managed to find this gist
https://gist.github.com/andreynovikov/4619215 but I'm not sure it's the same thing I'm looking for and I don't want to try it out for fear of messing up my existing code with it.
You should avoid transitions like that.
I'll recomend to use FragmentWrapper.
One more fragment that you placed inside Tab it contains only FrameLayout as a container for other fragments. In this fragment, you could use childFragmentManager to add current Fragment and replace it with VideoEdit.

Proper top level navigations in android fragments like in Google Play

I have an Activity with navigation drawer and a default fragment set in to Activity when application starts.
I have 4 top level navigation in my navigation drawer
Fragment 1
Fragment 2
Fragment 3
Fragment 4
and switching the fragments inside the activity on click on each each navigation. I want implement the fragment navigation in such manner that from each top level navigation fragment, if user clicks back button it should first come to Main or default fragment and from there app should exit same like in Google Play. I call it master fragment.
eg:
Default(master) Fragment > Fragment 1
Fragment > Fragment 2
Fragment 2 -- Back pressed > Deafult fragment and like so.
What I have tried so far :
I have tried adding fragment in backstack but it doesn't help it takes me all fragment in stack.
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.container, selectedFragment)
.addToBackStack("naviagtion_stack")
.commit();
My each top fragments also have child fragments in stack so stack count also did not help me.
I don't want to remove and add my default fragment because as it fetches some data from network so recreation will make the network call again which i don't want .
I want exactly what Google Play does. I just want to know the logic.
Add your master fragment to backstack and remember the tag: fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.main_layout, masterFragment)
.addToBackStack(INITIAL_STATE)
.commit();
Click on the navigation elements should do following before adding a corresponding fragment: fragmentManager.popBackStack(INITIAL_STATE, 0);
This call removes from backstack everything but your master fragment.
All fragment transactions (including navigation fragments) should generally do the same thing, for example:
fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.main_layout, fragment)
.addToBackStack(null)
.commit();

Fragment visible on the background

I am working on an application that has three fragments which are defined in an XML file:
[HeaderFragment]
[MainFragment]
[FooterFragment]
The first screen initiates the three fragments, the Header- and FooterFragment are static so will not change content.
The MainFragment is initial a menu with buttons and a transparant background (MenuFragment). When I click an item in the menu I replace the MenuFragment with a new fragment (DetailsFragment) like this:
FragmentTransaction transaction = mFragmentManager.beginTransaction();
Fragment newFragment = new DetailFragment();
transaction.replace(R.id.content_container, newFragment);
transaction.addToBackStack(newFragment.getTag());
transaction.commit();
The DetailFragment shows up and when I press back, the MenuFragment appears and everything works how it should.
Here is my problem:
Inside my DetailFragment, I have a toggle option to filter the content, this is a button. When this is clicked, the DetailFragmentFiltered replaces the DetailFragment on the same way as the code above states. The only difference is that I don't add it to the BackStack because after filtering and pressing Back.. I still want to return to the MenuFragment.
When I clicked the filter button and press Back, the DetailFragment (or DetailFragmentFiltered) is shown behind my MenuFragment. Afcourse, I don't want this.
Make sure you don't use a static fragment relation to an XML by setting the first fragment as "android:name" in the layout.
Make with framelayouts the layout of the XML and add the fragments flexibly as shown in this tutorial:
