Fragment not showing previous data when coming from another fragment

In my android activity I am using multiple fragments, I am successfully switching these fragments according to my requirement but problem is that when I am switching Fragment 1 to Fragment 2 and back from Fragment 2 to Fragment 1, Fragment 1 not showing previous data Fragment 1 start from stretch, but I want to show previous data same as I was selected.
Here is my code for go Fragment 1 (fragment_search_customerProfile) to Fragment 2 (fragment_CustomerInfo):
FragmentManager manager = getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction transaction = manager.beginTransaction();
transaction.replace(R.id.filterFram, new fragment_Search());
FrameLayout layout = (FrameLayout) rootView.findViewById(R.id.cpFrame);
layout.removeAllViewsInLayout();
transaction.remove(new fragment_search_customerProfile()).commit();
Here is my code for back Fragment 1 (fragment_search_customerProfile) fromFragment 2 (fragment_CustomerInfo):
FragmentManager manager = getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction transaction = manager.beginTransaction();
Log.d("fragment_Search", fromSearch + "");
transaction.replace(R.id.custIndoFram, new fragment_search_customerProfile());
FrameLayout layout = (FrameLayout) rootView.findViewById(R.id.custIndoFram);
layout.removeAllViewsInLayout();
transaction.remove(new fragment_CustomerInfo()).commit();
Can anyone explain me how can I stay save my fragment data?

Instead of transaction.replace(R.id.filterFram, new fragment_Search());
you can use transaction.add to add fragment while having the data of first one
transaction.add(R.id.filterFram, new fragment_Search());
transaction.addToBackStack(null);
From fragment two you can use .show instead of replace to show the first fragment
and hide fragment two from the first one. transaction.show(getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("firstFragmentTag")).commit();

You can simple keep the instances of the fragments, so in your Activity you would have fields like that.
private Fragment fragment1;
private Fragment fragment2;
And now you can use the sexy replace() option,
To add Fragment1
if (fragment1 == null) {
fragment1 = new fragment_Search();
}
FragmentManager manager = getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction transaction = manager.beginTransaction();
transaction.replace(R.id.filterFram, fragment1);
and same for Fragment2
And you can hold the state of the fragment (data it retrieves) in the Fragment itself, and in your onViewCreated() you check, if the state is not null, you update the view immediately.
class Fragment1 extends Fragment {
private State state;
public void onViewCreated(View v) {
if (state != null) {
// Update UI here
}
}
}
UPDATE
Using your own code
private Fragment fragment1; // This is a field outside of below method
if (fragment1 == null) {
fragment1 = new fragment_Search();
}
FragmentManager manager = getChildFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction transaction = manager.beginTransaction();
transaction.replace(R.id.filterFram, fragment1).commit();
FrameLayout layout = (FrameLayout) rootView.findViewById(R.id.cpFrame);
layout.removeAllViewsInLayout();
Going to fragment2 should be the same, and this code is used to go to Fragment1 and Fragment2, doesn't matter if you are going back or first time.

You have to add fragment instead of remove or replace

How to reopen a fragment with saved instance from another fragment?

I have 1 activity with multiple fragments. These fragments call each other, for example fragment a calls fragment b:
Fragment a:
FragmentManager fm = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.fragment_container, new FragmentB());
ft.commit();
Where OrderAddFragment is fragment b.
Now, let's say a user has filled in multiple inputs in fragment a and continues to fragment b but than he realises he made a mistake in fragment a and needs to go back to correct this mistake.
How could I reopen fragment a with the saved instance state instead of creating a new instance?
The back function in fragment b uses following code to reopen fragment a:
FragmentManager fm = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.fragment_container, new FragmentA());
ft.commit();

FragmentTransaction.addToBackStack() might solve your problem.

How to replace fragment properly using navigation drawer

I am using navigation drawer and it is simple to use. I am not providing the complete code but providing you detail which could be easy for you to understand my problem. I am using fragments these are about 8 in numbers and I am replacing them with one an other. But here comes a problem
I am replacing them on click event of the navigation drawer. but there are two main problems
After replacement , I can see the previous fragment in the background. does replace method just call the new fragment over it ? if yes then what should I do to old fragment not be visible in the background of my new fragment.
When I click navigation drawer Item , it loads the specific fragment successfully. but keeping in that fragment when I click to that specific item again it loads this fragment again and again. For example if drawer item num 3 opens fragment MyBook , then by clicking item num three 2 or many times would open fragment that much time.
So please some one answer me how to cure my app for such kind of actions which I described above.

I tried like this. Its working fine me
FragmentManager frgmanager = getFragmentManager();
frgmanager.popBackStack(null, FragmentManager.POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE);
FragmentTransaction frgTransaction = frgmanager.beginTransaction();
if(subitem.equalsIgnoreCase("subitem")){
Frag1 frg1 =new Frag1(mCtx);
frgTransaction.replace(R.id.inflate_layout, frg1);
}else if(subitem1.equalsIgnoreCase("subitem1")){
Frag2 frg2 =new Frag2(mCtx);
frgTransaction.replace(R.id.inflate_layout, frg2);
}else{
Frag2 frg3 =new Frag3(mCtx);
frgTransaction.replace(R.id.inflate_layout, frg3);
}
frgTransaction.setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_FADE);
frgTransaction.commit();

you can use addtobackstack in fragmentstranstion object.like
FragmentManager manager = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction transaction = manager.beginTransaction();
transaction.replace(R.id.bodyfragment, new AnotherFragment());
transaction.addtoBackStack(null).commit();

Use replace-method of FragmentTransaction instead of add (http://developer.android.com/guide/components/fragments.html#Transactions)
FragmentManager manager = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction transaction = manager.beginTransaction();
transaction.replace(R.id.bodyfragment, new AnotherFragment());
transaction.commit();
To avoid re-instantiating the fragment, keep track of the current open fragment and only do a fragment transaction, if we next-to-be-opened fragment is a different one than the current.
This may achieved like the following:
class MyActivity ... {
private String currentFragment;
private void openNewFragment(Fragment fragment) {
String newFragment = fragment.getClass().getSimpleName();
if (newFragment.equals(currentFragment)){
// new fragment already shown
return;
}
// Fragment transaction etc here:
}
}
Note that this only compares fragments based in their class name. Sometimes this might not be unique, e.g. if there is a DetailFragment class which displays information about an entity. Which entities details to show may depend on intent arguments.
The above code however will then prevent opening DetailFragment for Entity=1 if currently details for Entity=2 are shown. For these scenarios the information about the fragment kept needs to be extended (e.g. storing a Reference or WeakReference to the fragment instance itself).

Open a fragment, not in the current list of tabs, in a fragment

I want to open a fragment, which does not lie in the list of tabs, from a fragment in an onClick() function.
I have been struggling with this for a while now. Can someone give some pointers?
All the solutions that I have seen transition from one fragment to another(both being part of the tab list).
Thanks.

Create a instance of the fragment and use fragment Manager
FragmentManager fm = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
LinkListFragment llf = new LinkListFragment();
ft.replace(R.id.container, llf);
ft.commit();

Android activity with ListView open fragment on item click

I have an Activity with ListView, when clicking on a list item opens a new fragment.
Do I need to create a new fragment every time like this?
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.root_layout,new MyFragment());
Or will be enough to create a fragment once and then use it?
in activity:
MyFragment myFragment = new MyFragment();
......
in onItemClickListener:
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.root_layout,myFragment);

It depends on your case. In most cases every list item opens a different fragment (with different data). Then you have to make a static newInstance(Data mySerializableData) method in your fragment, use default constructor inside of it, pass data over Fragment arguments See DetailFragment and use fragmentTransaction.replace() in your activity to add this fragment.
When you dont want your fragment to be changed you can create it only once as you say but there is no need of adding it on every item click. So one creation and only one add.

No, you don't need to create it every time. First, instead of using "add", use "replace". If there is no fragment in fragment manager, your fragment will be added, instead it will be replaced. If you use "add", then you could accidentally add more than one fragment.
You should check for the fragment in the fragment manager and call methods for content updates.
Example:
myFragment = (MyFragment) fragmentManager.findFragmentById(R.id.my_fragment);
if (myFragment == null) {
myFragment = MyFragment.getInstance(someDataIfNeeded);
fragmentManager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.my_fragment, myFragment).commit();
} else {
myFragment.updateFragmentContent(someData);
}

check instance of that fragment everytime like this-
In your fragment class -
public static final MyFragment newInstance()
{
MyFragment f = new MyFragment();
return f;
}
and in your activity when you want to create fragment -
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.root_layout,MyFragment.newInstance());
this is well n good manner...
