Android Back to previous fragment by popBackStack

I have 3 fragments: Home, A and B. Home and A are in mobile navigation menu.
User goes from A to B and then press back button. The issue that if I use getFragmentManager().popBackStack(); onCreateView of fragment A is calling and I have duplicating of content.
But if I use getActivity().onBackPressed(); it goes to Home fragment instead of A.
How to display fragment A by clicking back button without refreshing the view?
Here is how I make transaction from A to B
CertificateItemFragment certificateItemFragment = new CertificateItemFragment(item);
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.nav_host_fragment, certificateItemFragment).addToBackStack(null);
fragmentTransaction.commit();

You need to know some premise before using FragmentManager.
in Activity there is FragmentManager and we should call it with getSupportFragmentManager(), getFragmentManager() is deprecated.
in Fragment there are multiple FragmentManagers called ParentFragmentManager and ChildFragmentManager, the final FragmentManager which is deprecated too. And ParentFragmentManager will be same as Activity's FragmentManager
getActivity().onBackPressed() will pull out fragment if any stack exists in Activity's FragmentManager
fragmentManager.popBackStack() will pull out fragment if any stack exists in Activity's or Fragment's FragmentManager rely on who calls
Base on above points
(1) If You want to hold fragments in Activity, you should call getSupportFragmentManager() in Activity, and call getParentManager() in Fragment, then onBackPressed() will pull out the fragment you last add to stack.
(2) If you want to hold fragments in a Fragment and Separated from Activity, you should call getChildFragmentManager() in Fragment, then activity.onBackPressed() will pull out the fragment which in Activity's fragment stack and ignore other fragments in Fragment's fragment stack.
For question will be same as case (1), and if you dont want re-create fragment, you should use add() instead of replace()
in Fragment A
CertificateItemFragment certificateItemFragment = new CertificateItemFragment(item);
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getParentFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.nav_host_fragment, certificateItemFragment).addToBackStack(CertificateItemFragment.TAG);
fragmentTransaction.commit();
now onBackPressed() will backstack from CertificateItemFragment to Pre-Fragment

In normal case navigation item list menu open fragment which are replace to each other but when we move inside of any item as like in your case move from fragment A to B,
In this case normally we use another activity on which create fragment.
If you do't want to use activity then, you just need to add fragment.
try below code that may help you
CertificateItemFragment certificateItemFragment = new CertificateItemFragment(item);
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.nav_host_fragment, certificateItemFragment).addToBackStack(CertificateItemFragment.TAG);
fragmentTransaction.commit();

How to find the fragment in back stack and just show it in android

I have a Activity where I load 3 fragments one after another
FragmentA
FragmentB
FragmentC
Flow is Like this I have used Adding fragment one above another
Start-Activity -----> Load FragmentA ----> Load FragmentB ----> Load FragmentC
What I am trying to do now is:
Now assuming now FragmentC is the top fragment shown
I want to find the FragmentA from the stack and just show it instead of creating a fragmentA all over again
Code I have used to add fragmentA is for Example:
Fragment fragment = null;
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = null;
fragment = new FragmentA();
fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(FragmentA.class.getSimpleName());
fragmentTransaction.setCustomAnimations(android.R.anim.fade_in, android.R.anim.fade_out);
fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.container, fragment, FragmentA.class.getSimpleName());
if(fragment!=null && fragmentTransaction!=null){
fragmentTransaction.commitAllowingStateLoss();
}

Look at FragmentManager.getBackStackEntryAt method, from there you can go back to any fragment of your history…

Loop through the back stack entries, meanwhile, if you find any matching Fragment by id or tag, just pop back stack inclusive with fragment A's name/tag so that the fragment A is just displayed rather than adding once again.

The example code to retrieve a fragment by Tag would look like this
FragmentA frA = getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(FragmentA.class.getSimpleName());
and if it's not null you can reuse it in your container
if(frA != null) {
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = getSupportFragmentManager.beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.setCustomAnimations(android.R.anim.fade_in, android.R.anim.fade_out);
//you could add this transactionn to backstack again here if you want to be able to pop it later
fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.container, frA, FragmentA.class.getSimpleName());
} else {
//if your fragment is null as it was destroyed previously you can create a new one here
}

You are giving a tag, fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(FragmentA.class.getSimpleName()); to the transaction , you can use the same tag to find the fragment in the backstack, before creating a new frgament, check the backstack for the fragment using findFragmentByTag on the fragment manager, if it exist, the method returns the fragment otherwise null

try it!
val fm: FragmentManager? = fragmentManager
for (entry in 0 until fm.getBackStackEntryCount()) {
Log.i(TAG, "Found fragment: " + fm.getBackStackEntryAt(entry).getId())
}

Add only one instance of fragment into backstack

I have implemented fragments in my application. Here my code for swiching fragment in fragment_container.
private void switchFragment(Fragment fragment, boolean isAddToBackStack, String tag)
{
android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.container, fragment, tag);
if (isAddToBackStack)
ft.addToBackStack(tag);
setCurrentTopFragment(Integer.parseInt(tag));
ft.commit();
}
I have 4 fragments A,B,C and D and for switching between this fragmnets I am using above method. I have A,C,B in my backstack. If again I switch to fragmnet A, my backstack is like A,C,B,A. What I actually want is If I swich to A again I want backstack sequence like this C,B,A. Means Remove old instance from backstack and add new to it.

First get the back-stacked Fragment by id which you need to remove:
Fragment fragment = getSupportFragmentManager().getFragment(new Bundle(), TAG_KEY)
or there are several methods getBackStackEntryCount(), getBackStackEntryAt. After getting the fragment which you need to remove. Remove it from the fragment back-stack.
FragmentManager manager = getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction trans = manager.beginTransaction();
trans.remove(fragment);
Then you can add a new fragment Done :)

How to reload a Viewpager's Fragment from an activity

I have an activity in which layout has Tabs using TabLayout and viewpager from fragments. There are two tabs and having 2 fragments 1 for each tab.
Now I am on second Tab's Fragment, when I perform any action in this fragment, I have to reload that fragment, but when I am restarting that activity using the below code:
((Activity)mContext).finish();
mContext.startActivity(((Activity) mContext).getIntent());
It reloads the first fragment, I want to reload the second fragment, how can I achieve this.
Thanks you so much for your help.

Try to refresh your current Fragment:
// Reload current fragment
Fragment frg = null;
frg = getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("Your_Fragment_TAG");
final FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.detach(frg);
ft.attach(frg);
ft.commit();

How to get Data from current fragment to other fragment?

I am using Fragment for my current application. Here I have one Fragment FA and I am navigating to the other Fragment FB and I have added FA to the backstack as I want to come to FA fragment on some event to be done in FB fragment. I have a done button in the fragment FB. On Click of that button I need to do two things in the fragment FB which are as follows :-
(a). I need to finish the current fragment FB.
(b). Secondly, I need to pass some data from FB to already existing Fragment FA as I have added it to backstack.
I have just started using Fragments and don't know much about them and I want to sort out this problem.Can anyone suggest something for this, any Help would be appreciable.
Thanks in Advance.

You can pass data from one fragment to another something like below.
Fragment fragment;
fragment = new SingleImage();
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString("img",actorsList.get(position).getImage());
bundle.putString("desc",actorsList.get(position).getDesc());
fragment.setArguments(bundle);
getActivity().getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.content_frame, fragment).addToBackStack( "tag" ).commit();
means you can add arguments with fragment to pass to another.
and you can get that data in another fragment using below code
Bundle bundle = this.getArguments();
if(bundle != null)
{
tvdesc.setText(bundle.getString("desc"));
img_url= bundle.getString("img");
}
Since you want only one back stack entry per Fragment, make the back state name the Fragment's class name (via getClass().getName()). Then when replacing a Fragment, use the popBackStackImmediate() method. If it returns true, it means there is an instance of the Fragment in the back stack. If not, actually execute the Fragment replacement logic.
private void replaceFragment (Fragment fragment){
String backStateName = fragment.getClass().getName();
FragmentManager manager = getSupportFragmentManager();
boolean fragmentPopped = manager.popBackStackImmediate (backStateName, 0);
if (!fragmentPopped){ //fragment not in back stack, create it.
FragmentTransaction ft = manager.beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.content_frame, fragment);
ft.addToBackStack(backStateName);
ft.commit();
}
}
