overlay over fragment and disable fragment functionality - android

I have a fragment that fits half the screen which I want to put an overlay over and I want the fragments functionality (scrolling and clicking on items in it) to be disabled. I also want the activity to register a click anywhere on the disabled fragment (which will remove the overlay and re enable the fragment)
My first idea was to try find a way to pause the fragment, but nothing really worked, so now I am thinking about putting another fragment or possibly dialogue over the fragment and so that it covers the scrollbar and clicks in the fragment and registers its own clicks. Would this be possible? Would it be better to do it with a fragment or dialogue?

Prevent last Fragment from being removed from backstack

I am currently writing a drawer layout as my main layout, with an embedded FrameLayout that I will be using to hold each “page” when an item on the drawer is clicked on. When the app first starts, an initial fragment will be show. Other fragments may be added/replaced later which is fine, however, my problem is that when the user clicks the back button on the very first “initial fragment”, I don’t want that particular fragment to be removed from the layout. Currently, it is being removed and it’s just showing a drawer layout with no other content (which makes sense). I want the app to automatically exit if the initial fragment was the last one showing and the back button is pressed, instead of removing that initial fragment and then after another back press, then it exits.
Things I have thought of doing:
Not adding the first fragment to the backstack. (If I do this, I can compare it with the classname of the fragment which is a somewhat longer string, or I can use a boolean value for once the first fragment has been placed (and not added to backstack), the boolean is set which allows the fragments to now be added.
Overriding the onBackPressed function of the activity
Does anyone have a suggested way of doing this or can think of a better way? Thanks
The first bullet point sounds the cleanest. You have no other need to handle conditions when back is hit, correct? If that's the case, it's less lines of code (removing one as opposed to adding several) and you get to keep default Activity methods as is.
I know that's not exactly what you asked, but I think the first bullet point is so clean, that I just wouldn't try something else.
I have implemented same in one of the app using my own Stack of fragment. and also implemented onBackPressed method.
Every time when user clicks on item in drawer i add fragment in stack and in back press once its length is 1 I finish the activity with message.
On item click -- Add/replace fragment in container.
OnBackPressed -- Pop fragments from stack and once its last one i finish activity.
Hope this can give you another option to consider.

ViewPager with static content

I want to create application which structure can be simplified as this:
Where Events tab has static content in our stackoverflow world, and is not reloading when app is working. So we can simplify it as a ViewPager.
Problem is with reloading Home tab, because when we set option in Drawer, accurate fragment should replaced Home tab.
Question
So here is my question, is it something similiar to ViewPager which replace current window from right side ? Because I replacing fragment in view pager is quit hard, so I want to replace home fragment in traditional way.
I`m not sure what your problem is. You don't want to update home fragment, you just want to replace it, so replace it and notify viewpager adapter for your change, save preview fragment before that and override back button press logic to replace again whit backuped fragment.

switching between fragments delete the views in first fragment

I have in my app a drawer navigation, which contain few fragments to go to. when my app starts it opens by default the first fragment - which contains a view pager that has 2 fragments in it as well. in those 2 fragments I have a text view and a button as well.
the problem is that if I click on another fragment in the drawer, and then go back to the first fragment, the button and the text view are gone. in the first time this view pager fragment is creating the two other fragments. I think that when I go back to this fragment again by replacing it, it wont load the other two fragments and their text and button view. I'm going crazy because of this and I cant continue my work..what is wrong here?
I don't know how to upload code snippets..sorry
Thank you for your help :)

How to hide a layout on pressing BackButton in Fragment

I have an Activity having multiple fragments of tabs, on pressing "Running total " button present at the bottom, the UI of that particular tab hides and another layout which displays a table,is shown. I want to display the main UI of the tab and hide that table layout on pressing device's back button. I can't use BackStack as I'm using horizonal naviagtion(tabs). How to achieve this?
You could simply override the onBackPressed() in your activity and write the logic there to handle what you want to do.
If you going to manipulate fragment during onBackPressed, it could be done by overriding onBackPressed in the Activity itself. But this would mess up the Fragment-Activity communication. It's better to have onBackPressed in the Fragment also.
A simple google search will give you multiple links on how to have onBackPressed in Fragment.

Android: Using fragments

Is it possible to disable an activity elements when it loads a fragments?
I have a program which has an activity and two fragments. I put a container in activity. When I put two buttons in activity and load each fragment by clicking the button, fragment loads on the activity, but when I click in the position of buttons which are under fragment(or in the large screen next to it), they do some actions, however I don't like it. The buttons should not be clickable.
As a simple solution I create a third fragment and put my buttons in it and load it as a default view in the activity.
I was wondering is it possible to do this without using third fragment.
If you do not want clicks to propagate to below layers you can specify android:clickable="true".
In your case define android:clickable="true" in the bottom layout of your fragments layout xml file to stop any clicks to the activity below.
mach's solution is great, but i can suggest a solution that will be helpful if you want to do more actions in the future than just disabling buttons.
You can simply have your activity implement an Interface "OnFragmentLoaded" for example which has a single method onLoaded()
and in your fragment in your onAttach(Activity ac) method you can do the following
((OnFragmentLoaded) ac).onLoaded()
and you activity would implement onLoaded() to do what ever you want
