White screen after going back through Fragments - android

I've got an Android application which is working fine, but I've found an annoying bug which I don't know what else do to solve it.
My application has a single Activity (call it HomeActivity; well, plus the Preferences Activity) and lots of Fragments. HomeActivity manages the replacement of every Fragment using this method (found in this thread and especially looking into the following comment):
public void switchFragment(Fragment pFragment, String pTagFragment){
String backStateName = pTagFragment;
boolean fragmentPopped = mFragmentManager.popBackStackImmediate (backStateName, 0);
if (!fragmentPopped){ //fragment not in back stack, create it.
FragmentTransaction ft = mFragmentManager.beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.content_frame, pFragment);
ft.addToBackStack(backStateName);
ft.commit();
}
}
To replace a Fragment, what I do is the following:
switchFragment(new FragmentEuskalmet(), FragmentEuskalmet.FRAGMENT_NAME);
Here it's the problem: I navigate through several Fragments (say, 3 of them). Then, I wanna go back, so I press back 2 times. When I arrive to the last within the stack, a white screen is shown (i.e. white is shown in the place where the Fragment should be). The odd thing is that if I do a long press to my home button to show the recent apps and I choose again my application, the fragment gets loaded correctly.
I assume there might be something within my switchFragment method, e.g. it may be any issue related to the backStack. One important detail is that I've got written the so called empty constructor in every Fragment.
Can anybody lend me a hand? I can provide further code pieces if anybody request them.
Edit:
I've considered compulsory to type my sss method:
#Override
public void onBackPressed(){
invalidateOptionsMenu();
if(CURRENT_FRAGMENT != FragmentMapa.FRAGMENT_NAME){//"com.ingartek.bizkaimove.ui.FragmentMapa"){
mDrawer.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_LOCKED_CLOSED, mDrawerRightRelativeLayout);
}
if(mDrawer.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)){
mDrawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
setToolbarSubtitle(mSubtitleAux);
}else{
setToolbarSubtitle(getString(R.string.app_name_subtitle));
if (getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() == 1){
//finish();
showExitDialog();
}else {
super.onBackPressed();
popFragment();
}
}
}
I think I should rewrite this part:
}else {
super.onBackPressed();
popFragment();
}
Solution:
As #Ajay Pandya suggested, I leave the onBackPressed() that way:
#Override
public void onBackPressed(){
invalidateOptionsMenu();
if(CURRENT_FRAGMENT != FragmentMapa.FRAGMENT_NAME){//"com.ingartek.bizkaimove.ui.FragmentMapa"){
mDrawer.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_LOCKED_CLOSED, mDrawerRightRelativeLayout);
}
if(mDrawer.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)){
mDrawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
setToolbarSubtitle(mSubtitleAux);
}else{
setToolbarSubtitle(getString(R.string.app_name_subtitle));
if (getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() > 0) {
if (getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() == 1){
//finish();
showExitDialog();
}else{
mFragmentManager.popBackStackImmediate();
}
} else {
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
}

You can manage back stack and screen for exit like
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if (getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() > 0) {
getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStack();
} else {
super.onBackPressed();
}
}

This is because you are adding all your fragments programmatically. On pressing back buttons, you eventually remove the first fragment that you added as well.
The reason you get it back on launching the application is because you add the fragment again.
I would suggest overwrite your back button. Whenever you pop fragment, check to see that it's not your first fragment and then pop it.

Android back button and fragment activity

I have an activity which uses fragments, when the activity is first created, it displays a first fragment which is not added to back stack cause I don't want to have an empty activity when user presses back.
The fragments loaded after that are added to back stack.
So I have the behavior I want, except: user can open fragments and press back to go back to the previous fragment, up until they reach the first fragment because if they press back at this time, the activity is closed, which I don't want.
So I'd like to know a good solution to prevent back button pressed but only when the first fragment is displayed.
Add .addToBackStack(null) when you call the new fragment from activity.
FragmentTransaction mFragmentTransaction = getFragmentManager()
.beginTransaction();
....
mFragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
-Add onBackPressed() to your activity
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if (getFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() == 0) {
this.finish();
}
else {
getFragmentManager().popBackStack();
}
}
Solved like this:
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if (getFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount()> 0) {
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
in your activity class add below code in onBackPressed method;
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
int backstack = getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount();
if (backstack > 0) {
getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStack();
}
else{
super.onBackPressed();
//System.exit(0);
}
}
hope this help.

fragment back to the end , the screen is white [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
White screen after going back through Fragments
(2 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I have a MainActivity, it has a lots of Fragment under it.
I set the return mechanism transaction.addToBackStack(null);
The function like this:
public void switchFragment(Fragment fragment) {
FragmentManager manager = getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction transaction = manager.beginTransaction();
transaction.replace(R.id.mainFrame, fragment, null);
transaction.addToBackStack(null);
transaction.commit();
}
My issue is when I click the back button to the end, the FrameLayout is white
I tried to add
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
if (mainFrame==null)
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
}
It's not working. How do I avoid this white screen when I call back the Fragment to the end ? Any help would be great!
I took #ReazMushed's suggestion and changed like this:
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if (getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() ==1) {
finish();
}else{
super.onBackPressed()
}
}
And the white screen problem is gone!
From your question what I've understood is, you have a set of Fragment which is launched one after one and when you press the back button, they disappears one after one. When the first Fragment reaches and you click the back button again, it shows a white screen.
If I'm correct, you might have to track if the first Fragment is reached and then finish the Activity.
Implement the onBackPressed function in your MainActivity. You might consider doing something like this.
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if (getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() > 0)
getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStack();
else
finish(); // Finish the activity
}

Back from fragment to Activity onBackPressed

My question is that, i've one activity and one fragment,from activity open that fragment but when i pressed back button it close application.
i try with this code.
for open fragment.
case R.id.button_contact:
Fragment fragment = new FragmentContact();
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
fragmentManager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.frame_container,fragment).addToBackStack("Frag1").commit();
break;
for back button.
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStackImmediate("Frag1",0);
super.onBackPressed();
}
I'm assuming you just want to remove the fragment and have the activity remain?
In that case modify your onBackPressed method to be
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if (getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("Frag1") != null) {
getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStackImmediate("Frag1",0);
} else {
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
This will remove the fragment from the activity if it is added and if it isn't, then the back button will act as normal and destroy the activity.
Just remove this line from onBackPressed().
getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStackImmediate("Frag1",0);
Its work.
You can do something like this. It will work with your stack:
if (getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() == 0) {
super.onBackPressed();
} else {
getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStack();
}
This piece of code will pop the stack if there is any fragment. Otherwise the back button will close the activity
What these two lines are doing:
1). getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStackImmediate("Frag1",0);
As you are adding you fragment in activity backstack, so when you are calling on back press,
it remove fragment from stack, now in your stack activity is left, means stack size is one.
2). super.onBackPressed();
I think you are aware of calling super.onbackpress funcionality, here it will finish
your activity and stack size is 0 now, and app will close immidately if stack size is 0.
so you have to remove super.onbackpress() Method.

how to go back to previous fragment on pressing manually back button of individual fragment?

I have only one activity and multiple fragments in my application.
Two main fragment A(left) and B(right).
Fragment A1 called from A
B1 called from B
B2 called from B1
All fragments have individual back buttons.
So when I press back button of fragment A1, it should go back to A, similarly when Back button from B2 is pressed, B1 appears and from B1 to B and so on.
How to implement this type of functionality?
public void onBackPressed()
{
FragmentManager fm = getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager();
fm.popBackStack();
}
I have implemented the similar Scenario just now.
Activity 'A' -> Calls a Fragment 'A1' and clicking on the menu item, it calls the Fragment 'A2' and if the user presses back button from 'A2', this goes back to 'A1' and if the user presses back from 'A1' after that, it finishes the Activity 'A' and goes back.
See the Following Code:
Activity 'A' - OnCreate() Method:
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activityA);
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
Fragment fragInstance;
//Calling the Fragment newInstance Static method
fragInstance = FragmentA1.newInstance();
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.container, fragInstance)
.commit();
}
}
Fragment : 'A1'
I am replacing the existing fragment with the new Fragment when the menu item click action happens:
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
if (item.getItemId() == R.id.action_edit_columns) {
//Open the Fragment A2 and add this to backstack
Fragment fragment = FragmentA2.newInstance();
this.getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.container, fragment)
.addToBackStack(null)
.commit();
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
Activity 'A' - onBackPressed() Method:
Since all the fragments have one parent Activity (which is 'A'), the onBackPressed() method lets you to pop fragments if any are there or just return to previous Activity.
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if(getFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() == 0) {
super.onBackPressed();
}
else {
getFragmentManager().popBackStack();
}
}
If you are looking for Embedding Fragments inside Fragments, please refer the link: http://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-4.2.html#NestedFragments
#trueblue's answer got me going with one minor but annoying issue. When there is only one fragment on the backstack and you press back button, that frame is removed and the app remains active with a blank screen. User needed to press back button one more time to exit the app. I modified the original code to the following in order to handle this situation
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if(getFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() == 0) {
super.onBackPressed();
}
else if(getFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() == 1) {
moveTaskToBack(false);
}
else {
getFragmentManager().popBackStack();
}
}
When there is only 1 fragment in the backstack, we are basically telling android to move the whole app to back.
Update (and probably a better answer)
So after doing some more reading around this, I found out that you can add fragment manager transactions to back stack and then android handles back presses automatically and in a desired way. The below code snippet shows how to do that
Fragment fragment; //Create and instance of your fragment class here
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.fragment_container, fragment).addToBackStack(null);
fragmentTransaction.commit();
fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
The last line shows how you add a transaction to back stack. This solves back press issue for fragments in most situations except for one. If you go on pressing back button, then eventually you will reach a point when there is only one fragment in the back stack. At this point, you will want to do one of the two things
Remove the activity housing the fragment from the back stack of the task in which activity is running. This is because you do not want to end up with a blank activity
If the activity is the only activity in the back stack of the task, then push the task in background.
In my case, it was the later, so I modified the overridden onBackPressed method from my previous answer to look like below
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if(getFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() == 1) {
moveTaskToBack(false);
}
else {
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
This code is simpler because it has less logic and it relies on framework than on our custom code. Unfortunately I did not manage to implement code for first situation as I did not need to.
You have to implement your own backstack implementation as explained here.
You can call the popFragments() whenever you click the back button in a fragment and call pushFragments() whenever you navigate from one Fragment to other.
Just Do
getActivity().getFragmentManager().popBackStack();
Try this, Its Work for me.
public void onBackPressed() {
if (mainLayout.isMenuShown()) {
mainLayout.toggleMenu();
} else {
FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
Log.print("back stack entry", fm.getBackStackEntryCount() + "");
if (fm.getBackStackEntryCount() > 1) {
fm.popBackStack();
// super.onBackPressed();
// return;
} else {
if (doubleBackToExitPressedOnce) {
fm.popBackStack();
super.onBackPressed();
return;
}
this.doubleBackToExitPressedOnce = true;
Toast.makeText(this, "Press one more time to exit",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
doubleBackToExitPressedOnce = false;
}
}, 3000);
}
}
}
Back button will traverse in the order, in which Fragments were added to backstack. This is provided as a navigation function by default. Now if you want to go to specific Fragment, you can show it from backstack.
You can handle it by adding tag in the backStack. Check my answer here :

hope it helps
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
getView().setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
getView().requestFocus();
getView().setOnKeyListener(new View.OnKeyListener() {
#Override
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_UP && keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK){
// replace your fragment here
return true;
}
return false;
}
});
}
// Happy Coding
If you press back image you have to create method first like this
private void Backpresses() {
getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.contant_main, new Home()).commit();
}
then you have to call like this when you press back image..
back.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Backpresses();
}
});
It work fine for me.

Programmatically go back to the previous fragment in the backstack

Say I have an activity that has fragments added programmatically:
private void animateToFragment(Fragment newFragment, String tag) {
FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.fragment_container, newFragment, tag);
ft.addToBackStack(null);
ft.commit();
}
What is the best way to return to the previous fragment that was visible?
I found Trigger back-button functionality on button click in Android but I'm thinking simulating a back key event isn't the right way to go about it (and I can't get it to work either):
dispatchKeyEvent(new KeyEvent(KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK));
Calling finish() just closes the activity which I'm not interested in.
Is there a better way to go about this?
Look at the getFragmentManager().popBackStack() methods (there are several to choose from)
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/FragmentManager.html#popBackStack()
To elaborate on the other answers provided, this is my solution (placed in an Activity):
#Override
public void onBackPressed(){
FragmentManager fm = getFragmentManager();
if (fm.getBackStackEntryCount() > 0) {
Log.i("MainActivity", "popping backstack");
fm.popBackStack();
} else {
Log.i("MainActivity", "nothing on backstack, calling super");
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
When we are updating/add the fragments,
Should Include the .addToBackStack().
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(detailFragment, "detail") // Add this transaction to the back stack (name is an optional name for this back stack state, or null).
.addToBackStack(null)
.commit();
After that if we give the getFragments.popBackStackImmediate() will return true if we add/update the fragments, and move back to the current screen.
Android Navigation architecture component.
The following code works for me:
findNavController().popBackStack()
These answers does not work if i don't have addToBackStack() added to my fragment transaction but, you can use:
getActivity().onBackPressed();
from your any fragment to go back one step;
Add those line to your onBackPressed() Method. popBackStackImmediate() method will get you back to the previous fragment if you have any fragment on back stack
`
if(getFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() > 0){
getFragmentManager().popBackStackImmediate();
}
else{
super.onBackPressed();
}
`
This solution works perfectly for bottom bar based fragment navigation when you want to close the app when back pressed in primary fragment.
On the other hand when you are opening the secondary fragment (fragment in fragment) which is defined as "DetailedPizza" in my code it will return the previous state of primary fragment. Cheers !
Inside activities on back pressed put this:
Fragment home = getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("DetailedPizza");
if (home instanceof FragmentDetailedPizza && home.isVisible()) {
if (getFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() != 0) {
getFragmentManager().popBackStack();
} else {
super.onBackPressed();
}
} else {
//Primary fragment
moveTaskToBack(true);
}
And launch the other fragment like this:
Fragment someFragment = new FragmentDetailedPizza();
FragmentTransaction transaction = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
transaction.replace(R.id.container_body, someFragment, "DetailedPizza");
transaction.addToBackStack("DetailedPizza");
transaction.commit();
Kotlin Answer
First, call Fragment Manager.
After, to use onBackPressed()
method.
Coding in Android Studio 4.0 with Kotlin:
fragmentManager?.popBackStack()
Programmatically go back to the previous fragment using following code.
if ( getFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() > 0)
{
getFragmentManager().popBackStack();
return;
}
super.onBackPressed();
To make that fragment come again, just add that fragment to backstack which you want to come on back pressed, Eg:
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Fragment fragment = new LoginFragment();
//replacing the fragment
if (fragment != null) {
FragmentTransaction ft = ((FragmentActivity)getContext()).getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.content_frame, fragment);
ft.addToBackStack("SignupFragment");
ft.commit();
}
}
});
In the above case, I am opening LoginFragment when Button button is pressed, right now the user is in SignupFragment. So if addToBackStack(TAG) is called, where TAG = "SignupFragment", then when back button is pressed in LoginFragment, we come back to SignUpFragment.
Happy Coding!
By adding fragment_tran.addToBackStack(null) on last fragment, I am able to do come back on last fragment.
adding new fragment:
view.findViewById(R.id.changepass).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
FragmentTransaction transaction = getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
transaction.replace(R.id.container, new ChangePassword());
transaction.addToBackStack(null);
transaction.commit();
}
});
Following Kotlin code useful to me
1. Added in Simple Activity class with multiple fragments used
override fun onBackPressed() {
if (supportFragmentManager.backStackEntryCount > 0) {
Log.i(TAG, "=============onBackPressed - Popping backstack====")
supportFragmentManager.popBackStack()
} else {
Log.i(TAG, "=============onBackPressed called because nothing on backstack====")
super.onBackPressed()
}
}
2. Added in BottomNavigationView Activity class with multiple fragments used
override fun onBackPressed() {
Log.e(TAG, "=============onBackPressed")
val navController = findNavController(R.id.nav_host_fragment)
when (navController.currentDestination!!.id) {
R.id.navigation_comments, R.id.navigation_my_posts -> {
menuItemPosition = 0
navController.navigate(R.id.navigation_home)
Log.i(TAG, "=============onBackPressed - Popping backstack with First fragment ====")
}
else -> {
Log.i(TAG, "=============onBackPressed called because nothing on backstack====")
super.onBackPressed()
}
}
}
I came here looking or the same idea, and in the meantime i came up with own, which I believe is not that bad and works if with ViewPager.
So what I did, is to override the onBackPressed method in the parent activity that holds the viewPager, and set it to always go back minus 1 position until it reaches the first fragment, then closes the activity.
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if(viewPager.getCurrentItem()>0){
viewPager.setCurrentItem(viewPager.getCurrentItem()-1);
} else {
super.onBackPressed();
this.close();
}
}
private void close(){
this.finish();
}
This might have a downfalls, like it only goes back one way left each time, so it might not work great if there are tabs and you switch positions with fragments skipped, ( going from 0 to 2, and then pressing back would put you on 1, instead of 0)
For my case tho, with 2 fragments in viewPager without tabs, it does the job nicely.
getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStackImmediate();
OR
getActivity().onBackPressed();
Try below code:
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
Fragment myFragment = getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.container);
if (myFragment != null && myFragment instanceof StepOneFragment) {
finish();
} else {
if (getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() > 0) {
getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStack();
} else {
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
}
