I have this issue in Android. Consider three Fragments: A, B, C. C can be called from A or from B. Is there anyway to know from which fragment, C was called?
Edited
Ok guys I'm going to explain what I'm trying to do. Suppose I have this call: A calls B, B calls C.
When I press the back button in C It gets me to B, thats fine. But when I press the back button again, it takes me to C, instead of A.
This is my code:
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
//this is the current fragment
Fragment fragmentActual = this.getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(android.R.id.tabcontent);
String fragmentTag = fragmentoActual.getTag().toString();
//If I press the back button in C:
if(fragmentTag.equals("TAG C")){
Fragment removefragment = this.getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("TAG B");
Fragment fragmentClient = this.getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("TAG C");
//If Im NOT passing arguments to B, I know this is a new form
if(removefragment.getArguments()== null){
//I always pass arguments to fragment C, but just in case:
if(fragmentClient.getArguments()!= null){
Bundle mArguments = fragmentClient.getArguments();
//FRAGMENT B
FragmentB fragmentB = new FragmentB ();
fragment.setArguments(mArguments);
FragmentManager manager = this.getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction ft = manager.beginTransaction();
ft.addToBackStack(null);
ft.replace(android.R.id.tabcontent,fragmentB,"TAG B");
ft.commit();
}
}else{
super.onBackPressed();
}
}else{
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
Now I'm going to explain the code. Basically what it does is to replace fragment B, when fragment C is called. I do this, because I need to pass arguments to fragment B. But when I do the replacement, the "history" of the fragment B is lost, I mean when I press back button in B, I cant go back to fragment A (HERE IS WHY I WANTED TO KNOW IF I CAN KNOW WHO CALLS WHOM).
The firts time when I call fragment B, I dont pass arguments because is a blank form. But when I call to C, staying in B, I need to pass arguments to fragment B (when back button is pressed), so It can shows updated information.
Please if there something that is not clear, let me know so I can explain myself better.
Edited 2: This issue has something with this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16703604/back-press-button-when-i-save-a-form-for-the-first-time-a-list-view-is-not-updat. Maybe it does my idea more clear.
The answer of Luksprog I think is the best: "You may want to tackle those issues. You always have the option of passing a Bundle with data to the newly created fragment mentioning who called it. Then using getArgument() in the fragment will know who called it.".
I haven't found another better way.
You can use the setTargetFragment method to set which was the parent fragment. Then you can use the method getTargetFragment to find out who called you.
What you are doing is transitioning between Fragments, call addToBackStack() as part of your FragmentTransaction:
i guess, This is what you need.
private final static String TAG_FRAGMENT = "TAG_FRAGMENT";
private void showFragment() {
final Myfragment fragment = new MyFragment();
final FragmentTransaction transaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
transaction.replace(R.id.fragment, fragment, TAG_FRAGMENT);
transaction.addToBackStack(null);
transaction.commit();
}
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
final Myfragment fragment = (Myfragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(TAG_FRAGMENT);
if (fragment.allowBackPressed()) { // and then you define a method allowBackPressed with the logic to allow back pressed or not
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
You can use FragmentManager for creating a back stack of your fragments. You also have to work with Fragment Transactions first. Further informations see: http://developer.android.com/guide/components/fragments.html#Transactions

I have 3 fragments A, B and C with A being the start destination of my nav graph. When the user starts the app, I check in fragment A if there are previously stored results. If there are, I want to navigate straight to fragment C. I have managed to get this to work. However, when the user presses back in fragment C in this case, I want them to be taken to fragment B instead of A, and that's what I need help figuring out.
Note: Fragment A is just a setup fragment which is only visited once when the app starts. Which means when the user presses back from fragment B, they are taken to OS home screen.
You can override onBackPress() and replace whatever fragment you are in with FragmentB like this
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
int stackCount = getFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount();
if (stackCount == 1) {
super.onBackPressed(); // if you don't have any fragments in your backstack yet.
} else {
// just replace container with fragment as you normally do;
FragmentManager fm = getFragmentManager();
fm.popBackStack(null, FragmentManager.POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE);//clear backstackfirst and then you can exit the app onbackpressed from home fr
FragmentTransaction transaction = fm.beginTransaction();
transaction.replace(R.id.container, new FragmentB());
transaction.commit();
}
}
This is the original answer ,you can take a look answer by Rainmaker
You can override your onBackPressed on fragment C and call your navController to go back to fragment b creating a new action from C to B
navController.navigate(R.id.action_CFragment_to_BFragment)
I am trying to do the following use case in Android Fragments. I have 2 fragments.
Fragment A -> Fragment B
When a user does something in Fragment B, I want to have the back stack as follows
Fragment A -> Fragment C. So, when the user presses back I want the user to go back to Fragment A.
I have tried the following
mFragmentManager.popBackStackImmediate();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fMgr.beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.base, Fragment_C, "1")
.addToBackStack(null)
.commitAllowingStateLoss();
The problem here is that I can see Fragment A for a short period of time before Fragment C is shown
If I do the following
mFragmentManager.popBackStackImmediate();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fMgr.beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.base, Fragment_C, "1")
.addToBackStack(null)
.commitNowAllowingStateLoss();
I get the error
This transaction is already being added to the back stack
I can get Fragment C to show up if I do this BUT
mFragmentManager.popBackStackImmediate();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fMgr.beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.base, Fragment_C, "1")
.commitNowAllowingStateLoss();
This works and I don't see Fragment A and see Fragment C but the back button takes the user out of the application. So, is it possible that we can pop the back stack of the fragment and then add another fragment to the back stack w/o showing Fragment A AND the back button takes the user back to Fragment A
Here is an easy method to add fragments to fragments or to adapters within fragments...
from your base activity, make your fragment manager static. assume this activity is called dashboard.
static FragmentManager support;
Don't forget to initialize this in onCreate.
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.layout_dashboard);
support = getSupportFragmentManager();
define your new fragment inside your adapter or fragment.
users_item_fragment dialog = new users_item_fragment();
//also, let's add some data...
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putString("device", devicesList.get(position));
use the following method to add the fragment easily wherever you would like
//pick an easily remembered tag
public void replace(Fragment fragment, String tag){
FragmentManager man = dashboard.support;
FragmentTransaction fragt = man.beginTransaction();
if(!fragment.isAdded()) {
dashboard.lastTag = dashboard.fragtag;//not needed, but helpful w/ backpresses
fragt.add(R.id.fragment_container, fragment, tag)
.hide(man.findFragmentByTag(fragtag)).commit();
dashboard.fragtag = dashboard.tag;//not needed, but helpful w/ backpresses
}
if(fragment.isAdded() && fragment.isHidden()) {
dashboard.lastTag = dashboard.fragtag;//not needed, but helpful w/ backpresses
fragt.show(fragment);
fragt.hide(man.findFragmentByTag(fragtag)).commit();
dashboard.fragtag = dashboard.tag;//not needed, but helpful w/ backpresses
}
}
To implement this with backpresses working correctly, add this in you onBackPress method of your main activity:
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
FragmentManager man = getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = man.beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.hide(getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(fragtag))
.show(getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(lastTag)).commit();
fragtag = lastTag;// holds the last fragment
}
}
It's easy to see the logic here and easy to manipulate back press events using this.
I have 5 fragments(say A, B, C, D, E) and one activity with a container.
Whenever i want to add a fragment to a container I'll be using the following code.
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.mainContainerRL, fragment, tag).addToBackStack(tag).commit();
Let's say i added Fragment A.
Upon some action in A, I added fragment B.
Upon some action in B, I added fragment C.
Upon some action in C, I added fragment D.
Upon some action in D, I added fragment E.
Now my stack should be as follows.
A -> B -> C -> D -> E
Now upon some action in Fragment E, I need to remove fragments D, C, B so that when user click back, he should directly see Fragment A.
I tried using following code.
public void removeScreen(#NonNull String tag) {
FragmentManager manager = getSupportFragmentManager();
Fragment fragment = manager.findFragmentByTag(tag);
if (fragment != null) {
FragmentTransaction trans = manager.beginTransaction();
trans.remove(fragment);
trans.commitAllowingStateLoss();
}
}
Upon some action in Fragment E, I called the above function with Tags of Fragment D, C, B(Tags are same as the one that i used for fragment transaction).
Now when i click back button fragment D is becoming visible but i was expecting fragment A.
It would be very helpful if somebody points out where am i going wrong.
If you want to reach exactly the same behavior that you've described, you can do it by this way:
FragmentManager manager = getSupportFragmentManager();
manager.popBackStack(null, FragmentManager.POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE);
This will clear all backstack until the bottom of stack will be reached.
I prefer using DialogFragment for this reason and pop them using interface callbacks and dismiss() function inside them. This is the easiest and quick way to implement what you are trying to do.
I think your problem occur here :
replace :
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.mainContainerRL, fragment, tag).addToBackStack(tag).commit();
to：
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(R.id.mainContainerRL, fragment, tag).addToBackStack(tag).commit();
when you add your fragment to container,tou just add it ,if use"replace" method,you romove it from activirty's fagment manager,it case your "removeScreen" method did not work
I have a sequence of event via which i have added three fragments to the backstack, one by one. Each of these fragments covers the full screen of the activity.
I have stored the is returned from the commit of Frag1.
Now in Frag3, based on a specific click, I want to go back to Frag1 directly and discard/pop all Fragments in between.
So, when this button is clicked i send a message to the activity which does the following:
getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStack(mFrag1Id, FragmentManager.POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE);
But i just got a blank screen, so i assume no fragment was loaded.
I even tried:
In commit - fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack("Fragment1");
and then
getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStack("Fragment1", FragmentManager.POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE);
But it doesn't work.
Could someone please help me with this?
Thanks.
OK so I found the issue.
FragmentManager.POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE pops all the fragments including the one whose id passed as argument.
SO for example:
getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStack(mFrag1Id, FragmentManager.POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE);
Here it will pop everything on the stack including fragment whose id id mFrag1Id.
from third fragment you should call popBackStack();
twice (one to remove third fragment and the second to remove second fragment )
android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager fm = getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction transaction = fm.beginTransaction();
transaction.remove(ThirdFragment.this);
transaction.commit();
fm.popBackStack();
fm.popBackStack();
When you opened Fragment A and you Navigated to Fragment B and then to Fragment C and then You want to close Fragment C and B and land on Fragment A
Now in some scenario, you want to close Fragment C and Fragment B and you want to land on Fragment A... then use this logic of FragmentManager to do such task.
First get the number of fragment entries in back stack (When we are adding any fragment to addToBackStack("Frag1")) at that time fragment back stack entry will increase.
so get using this
FragmentManager fmManager = activity.getSupportFragmentManager();
Log.e("Total Back stack Entry: ", fmManager.getBackStackEntryCount() + "");
Now assume, you want to close current fragment (Fragment C) and your last fragment (Fragment B) so simple logic is getBackStackEntryCount -2 and at that time your back stack entry count will be 3 (Fragment A, Fragment B and Fragment C)
Here -2 is for because we want to go 2 fragment step back (Fragment C
and Fragment B)
So simple two line of Code is:
if (fmManager.getBackStackEntryCount() > 0) {
fmManager.popBackStack(fmManager.getBackStackEntryAt(fmManager.getBackStackEntryCount()-2).getId(), FragmentMaanger.POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE);
}
You can also do it by adding two time "popBackStack()" and will also work, but it not idle way to do this
FragmentManager fmManager = activity.getSupportFragmentManager();
fmManager.popBackStack();
fmManager.popBackStack();
If you want user to back at the beginning fragment, code snippet below will help you.
public static void popBackStackInclusive(AppCompatActivity activity) {
FragmentManager fragmentManager = activity.getSupportFragmentManager();
for (int i = 1; i < fragmentManager.getBackStackEntryCount(); i++){
try {
int fragmentId = fragmentManager.getBackStackEntryAt(i).getId();
fragmentManager.popBackStack(fragmentId, FragmentManager.POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE);
} catch (Exception e) {
Timber.d("Fragment Back Stack Error: %s", e.getLocalizedMessage());
}
}
}
Also if you want to prevent user to close app when no fragments at back stack, take a look at below.
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
if(fragmentManager.getBackStackEntryCount() > 1) {
super.onBackPressed();
} else {
// TODO: Show dialog if user wants to exit app or;
//finish();
}
}
I have this design problem. I have an activity which hosts two fragment and any given point of time only one activity is visible.
Activity A hosts Fragment B and Fragment C
Host Activity A implements FragmentCommunicator interface and implement respond(int code) method using this method communicator both Fragment B and C can talk to host Activity.
Now here is the problem.
In onClick of Host activity I check certain condition and based on that I take decision which fragment to show.
public void onClick(View v) {
switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.some_button
if(authNotedone)
showFragmentA();
else{
EDIT: //setting some properties before showing Fragment B
showFragmentB();
}
}
}
So far it works fine. If condition is true FragmentA will be visible with login form. After successful login I would like to show fragment B again. How can I achieve this.
What I have tried?
1) After successful login Fragment A send message to Host activity using Fragmentcommunicator's respond(code) method but it was ugly design as I have to either call performClick() or call showFragmentA() in respond method if code is success.
There could be multiple such conditions in my program How I can handle these neatly?
Use a interface as a call back to the activity. Once you get the message in the activity there is no need to click the button just replace the existing fragment in the container.
Implement the interface in the activity
FragmentB newFragment = new FragmentB();
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putInt("key", "message");
newFragment.setArguments(args);
FragmentTransaction transaction = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
transaction.replace(R.id.fragment_container, newFragment);
// replace with fragmentb. no need to perform click again.
// based on the message you decide which fragment you want to replace with
transaction.commit();

Do you want to navigate between fragments? If so, why don't you implement navigation tabs, have a look at this link.
