Toolbar back button does not close current Fragment - android

I have an activity that loads a Fragment onCreate. And I have a toolbar on that activity that has a button that when clicked will add a new Fragment on top of the one that got created first.
Now on that toolbar, when clicked, I want to remove the newer fragment so that it just displaces the fragment that is in the bottom (older one). I've searched and I kinda have figured it out except for one thing.
I did this so that it tries to see if the toolbar button is pressed:
#Override
public boolean onKeyUp(int keyCode, KeyEvent objEvent) {
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
onBackPressed();
return true;
}
return super.onKeyUp(keyCode, objEvent);
}
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
FragmentManager mFM = getSupportFragmentManager();
if(mFM.findFragmentByTag("NewFragment") != null){
mFM.beginTransaction().remove(mFM.findFragmentByTag("NewFragment")).commit();
}
}
The problem is, "keyCode" is only equals to KEYCODE_BACK when you click the "hardware's back button" and not the back button of the toolbar. What it gives me is keycode 58 and not 4 (KEYCODE_BACK).

I believe what your looking for is the NavigationListener for the Toolbar Widget:
mToolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
onBackPressed();
}
});
but if your using a Theme with an ActionBar and setting a supportActionBar then do something :
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch(item.getItemId()){
case android.R.id.home:
onBackPressed();
break;
}
return true;
}

It's not clear from your question whether you're asking a Fragment management question (FragmentTransaction remove vs. replace), or a Toolbar button question. I assume the latter...
An Android Toolbar or ActionBar should have actions handled using:
#Override
public Boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item)
{
switch (item.getItemId())
{
case MY_BACK_BUTTON:
myBackPressedHandler();
return (true);
}
return (false);
}
this assumes that your Back button is added as a MenuItem and was given an ID of MY_BACK_BUTTON.
For a Toolbar, you can use a MenuItemClickListener to handle the click events:
mToolbar.setOnMenuItemClickListener(MenuItem menuItem)
{
#Override
public Boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem menuItem)
{
// call onOptionsItemSelected, or handle the click here directly
return (thisFragment.onOptionsItemSelected(menuItem));
}
});
If you're referring to the "Up" button on the Toolbar/ActionBar, i.e. setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true), this will have a getItemId() of android.R.id.home and can be handled in a similar fashion:
case android.R.id.home:
myBackPressedHandler();
return (true);

RecyclerView empty when click icon back in toolbar

I need set back icon in my toolbar. I created my toolbar using android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar and for back using this code first set onClick to my back icon by this code:
ImageView backIcon = findViewById(R.id.back_icon);
backIcon.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Intent intent=new Intent(CreateNewItem.this,MainActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
finish();
}
});
and add this code:
#Override
public boolean onSupportNavigateUp() {
onBackPressed();
return true;
}
it's work and back to activity but my problem it's when using back icon and back to activity see recyclerView is empty and activity not have data. what is my problem?
If You are using Toolbar then no need to set custom back icon, you have to just override this method
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem menuItem) {
switch (menuItem.getItemId()) {
case android.R.id.home:
onBackPressed();
}
return (super.onOptionsItemSelected(menuItem));
}
and enable Toolbar:
getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
Happy coding!!

How to go back to previous activite(s)?

so i have Activity A,B, and C. Activity A & B both go to activity C. When i am on activity C and I press the back home button on mySupportActionBar, I want to return to the state of activity (from the state i left it in) I came from. How would i accomplish this?
Here is my onOptionsItemSelected(). So currently, it goes back to the designated parent activity i assigned in manifest to avoid my app from crashing. Because the parent activites require strings from intents.
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item)
{
int id = item.getItemId();
if(id == android.R.id.home)
{
NavUtils.navigateUpFromSameTask(this);
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
I would also love to accomplish this onBackPressed().
The back arrow button is the "home" button when you're in a inner activity so you could finish the inner activity or maybe just call the back button
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case android.R.id.home:
onBackPressed();
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
Use android.R.id.home
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case android.R.id.home:
finish();
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
You also can use setNavigationOnClickListener on toolbar to trigger back button.
#Override
protected void onCreate(#Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_filter_category);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
if (getSupportActionBar() != null) {
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
//back button action
toolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener(view -> finish());
}
}

Going back to the previous activity and fragment from an additional back button

I have an app with tab navigation between fragments. One of these fragments has an option to open a new activity. When I use the built in device back button from this activity it goes back to the tabbed activity with the previous fragment tab selected.
I have added a back button to the action bar of an activity in my app by using:
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
and setting the parent activity in the manifest, but this button always navigates back to the first tab of the parent activity, rather than the one that was previously visible.
How can I make this back button behave in the same way as the device back button?
Do something like this:
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
switch(id) {
case android.R.id.home:
onBackPressed();
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
onBackPressed() method:
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
super.onBackPressed();
}
Handle back event in this manner
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
switch(id) {
case android.R.id.home:
onBackPressed();
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
in back press method
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
Intent intent = new Intent(SecondActivity.this,TabbedActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("IsBack",true);
startActivity(intent);
}
in your tabbed activity
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_tabs);
if(getIntent().getExtras().getBoolean("IsBack")){
//navigate to your desire fragment
}
}

onOptionsItemSelected ActionBarActivity doesn't respect false return

I have some code that looks like this in an ActionBarActivity:
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case android.R.id.home:
Intent returnIntent = new Intent();
if (isNameNull()) {
namePicker.setError(getString(R.string.warning_name_should_not_be_empty));
Log.d(TAG, "child name is empty");
return false;
}
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
This code is just supposed to display an error in the EditText. It worked fine when I was using FragmentActivty. But when I switched to ActionBarActivity with ToolBar this code displays the error and navigates back to parent activity. This could be a bug in ActionBarActivity. Any workarounds? Overriding onMenuItemSelected(int featureId, MenuItem item) doesn't work because it was made final in ActionBarActivity.
For ActionBarActivity, you can override onSupportNavigateUp() to do custom behavior when the Up button is pressed, rather than handling it in onOptionsItemSelected():
#Override
public boolean onSupportNavigateUp() {
if (isNameNull()) {
namePicker.setError(getString(R.string.warning_name_should_not_be_empty));
Log.d(TAG, "child name is empty");
return false;
}
return super.onSupportNavigateUp();
}
Per the Javadoc on the return value of that method:
returns true if Up navigation completed successfully and this Activity was finished, false otherwise.

Fragment menu calling activity menu

I have an activity menu and on one fragment I want to replace an item inside that menu. The item when pressed launches an activity. My fragment menu item works, but it also calls the activity menu item intent. I need to remove the duplicate main activity menu item being selected too.
Main Activity menu:
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
else if(itemId == R.id.action_settings)
startActivity (new Intent(getApplicationContext(),
PreferencesActivity.class));
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
Fragment menu:
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.action_settings:
startActivity(new Intent(getActivity(),
PreferencesFragment.class));
return false;
default:
break;
}
return false;
}
It is only if the activity doesn't use the action that it is passed to the fragment. You may be able to add in the activity a boolean that causes the switch to be bypassed for that item.
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
if (!isMyFragmentPresent()) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.action_settings:
startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(),
PreferencesActivity.class));
return true;
default:
break;
}
}
return false;
}
public void setMyFragmentIsPresent(boolean isMyFragmentPresent) {
this.isMyFragmentPresent = isMyFragmentPresent;
}
UPDATE: I realise this doesn't work if you have more items than the one you want to change. Maybe you would be better having a default Fragment that loads in the activity that does nothing but load the R.id.action_settings settings button and what it does. This fragment would then be replaced by your new Fragment.
