Opening Fragment from a DialogFragment (replacing the Dialogs parent) - android

Let's say I have Fragment A, from which I open a DialogFragment like this:
FragmentActivity fragmentActivity = (FragmentActivity) view.getContext();
FragmentTransaction ft = fragmentActivity.getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
Fragment prev = fragmentActivity.getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("dialog");
if (prev != null) {
ft.remove(prev);
}
ft.addToBackStack(null);
DialogFragment fragmentDialog = MyDialogFragment.newInstance();
fragmentDialog.show(ft, "dialog");
From this Dialog, after clicking (positive / neutral / negative) button, I want to open Fragment B, which should replace Fragment A.
In the Dialog's onClick method I run a callback method of parent Activity:
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
switch(which) {
case DialogInterface.BUTTON_NEUTRAL:
detailsCallbacks.openMoreDetails();
break;
}
}
And finally my Activity's openMoreDetails() method looks like this:
#Override
public void openMoreDetails() {
Fragment fragmentB = Fragment.newInstance();
FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.fragment_container, fragmentB);
ft.addToBackStack(null);
ft.commit();
}
What I get is strange. Fragment B blinks on the screen just for a fraction of a second and then is replaced (covered?) by Fragment A again.
When I click the 'up' button I get back from Fragment A, so none of these transactions were added to the back stack. I would like to show Fragment B and then, when pressing the 'up' button, go back to Fragment A.
Is it somehow possible? And what's wrong with my approach?

Just had the same problem:
Fragment A display a custom dialog fragment.
At click on one of the buttons of the dialog fragment, I wanted to remove the dialog and show Fragment B.
Fragment B was displayed and instantly disappear. My screen was displaying Fragment A again.
What was wrong on my initial implementation:
private void onClickInscription() {
FragmentInscription frag = FragmentInscription.newInstance();
FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.main, frag);
ft.addToBackStack(null);
ft.commit();
dismiss();
}
And the correct one:
private void onClickInscription() {
dismiss();
FragmentInscription frag = FragmentInscription.newInstance();
FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.main, frag);
ft.addToBackStack(null);
ft.commit();
}
So try to call dismiss first on your dialog then apply the FragmentTransction

I know this it's been a long time since the problem was posted, but I solved it by adding a if(fragmentB.getView != null) before the replace statement.
It finally doesn't do the flash and disappear thing. (:

You shouldn't be opening the dialog from FragmentA. Implement a callback from your FragmentA to your activity and let the activity handle all fragment transactions.

Navigating between two fragments on backpress

I am having trouble going back to previous fragment on backpress from current fragment.
I have Two fragments and i navigate to second fragment on click and when i try to click back from the second fragment, i want to go back to the previous fragment but instead the app exits on backpress. below is the code i am using..
Fragment1 calling second fragment
UserFragment frag = new UserFragment()
FragmentTransaction transaction = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
frag.setArguments(bundle);
transaction.addToBackStack("UserActivity");
transaction.replace(android.R.id.content, frag, "UserActivity").addToBackStack(null);
transaction.commit();
In second Fragment i have implemented an interface OnBackpress and over riding the below method
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if (getFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() != 0) {
if(getFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("UserActivity") != null){
Log.e("UserActivity",getFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("UserActivity").toString());
getFragmentManager().popBackStack();
};
}
}
But on back press the app exits. Instead i want to go back to previous fragment. What mistake am i doing? please help. thanks
You need to add you first fragment to back stack properly, you are doing it wrong in your first part of the code.
Use the following code instead.
UserFragment frag = new UserFragment()
FragmentTransaction transaction = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
frag.setArguments(bundle);
transaction.addToBackStack("UserActivity");
transaction.replace(android.R.id.content, frag, "UserActivity");
transaction.commit();
Also there is no need to add any code in your onBackPressed after above change.
First, you need to add your fragments to the backstack:
public static void addFragment(FragmentManager fragmentManager, Fragment fragment, int id){
fragmentManager.beginTransaction().add(id, fragment).addToBackStack(null).commit();
}
Then you need to override the onBackPressed, which is a method gets called whenever a user clicks the back button:
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
super.onBackPressed();
if(getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() == 0){
button.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
}
please change to add() instead of replace() in your code..
UserFragment frag = new UserFragment()
FragmentTransaction transaction = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
frag.setArguments(bundle);
transaction.addToBackStack("UserActivity");
transaction.add(android.R.id.content, frag, "UserActivity").addToBackStack(null);
transaction.commit();
This will solve your problem.

Fragment does not close

I'm creating a fragment which is supposed to act like a menu. I have successfully inflated it to the activity where I wanted it to be, however I now I realise that I cannot close the fragment. Furthermore I am able to scroll the contents of the activity which the fragment is placed over. How can I edit my code in such a way that the fragment will close after an action on the activity is detected, or one of it's contents is clicked?
I created the fragment by simply adding a fragment via new -> Fragment -> Fragment(Blank). I have not touched any of the code and have initialized the fragment like so in a on click:
findViewById(R.id.Menu).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.setCustomAnimations(R.anim.enter_from_left, R.anim.exit_to_left, R.anim.enter_from_left, R.anim.exit_to_left);
MenuFragment menuFragment = new MenuFragment();
fragmentTransaction.replace(android.R.id.content, menuFragment);
fragmentTransaction.commit();
}
});
This is what it looks like, ignore the horrendous design.

how to switch from one fragment to another fragment android

Hi I have 5 fragments Now first time when I go to Activity of that fragments then default First fragment is called,then on first Fragment there is a button by clicking that button I go to the second fragment,similarly in Second fragment There is a button and clicking that button I go to the third fragment and so on.
Now My Question is that Current I am on Fifth fragment ,Now I want to go fifth fragment to second fragment,what should I do for this?
Can any one please tell me?
You can pop the fragment by name. While adding fragments to the back stack, just give them a name.
fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack("frag2");
Then in fragment5, pop the back stack using the name ie.. frag2 and include POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE
someButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
FragmentManager fm = getActivity()
.getSupportFragmentManager();
fm.popBackStack ("frag2", FragmentManager.POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE);
}
});
Here is the method to add and replace fragment.
public void addReplaceFragment(Fragment fragment, int addOrReplace) {
FragmentManager manager = getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction transaction = manager.beginTransaction();
switch (addOrReplace) {
case addFragment:
transaction.add(R.id.frame_containerforsearchable, fragment);
transaction.commit();
break;
case replaceFragment:
transaction.replace(R.id.frame_containerforsearchable, fragment);
transaction.commit();
break;
default:
break;
}
}
call of fragment is..
addReplaceFragment(currencyFragmentWithSearch, replaceFragment);
replaceFragment integer variable
currencyFragmentWithSearch Fragment instance
You can always do this :)
getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().replace(R.id.yourFrameLayout,new Fragment2(),"FRAG2");
OR
Fragment fragment = getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("FRAG2");
getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().replace(R.id.yourFrameLayout,,"FRAG2");
Try this code:
Fragment fragment = new SecondFragmentName();
FragmentManager fm = getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.content_frame, fragment);
ft.commit();
just small correction to mudit_sen code. It is working, only if you add .beginTransaction. Thank you.
getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.FrameLayoutId,new FragmentName()).commit();

DialogFragment shows onBack button press even if I remove it

I have used the following codes for showing and canceling dialogfragment :
public static void showDialogFragment(FragmentManager fm,String type){
FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
MyDialogFragment prev = (MyDialogFragment)fm.findFragmentByTag(type);
if (prev != null) {
prev.dismissAllowingStateLoss();
ft.remove(prev);
}
ft.addToBackStack(null);
MyDialogFragment newFragment = MyDialogFragment.newInstance();
try{
newFragment.show(ft,type);
}catch(IllegalStateException e){
return;
}
}
public static void cancelDialogFragment(FragmentManager fm,String tag){
FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
MyDialogFragment prev = (MyDialogFragment )fm.findFragmentByTag(tag);
if (prev != null) {
prev.dismiss();
ft.remove(prev);
}
ft.addToBackStack(null);
ft.commit();
}
when I open the activity I show a dialogFragment and after receiving the data from internet I cancel it and show the recieved data, But if I press back button again it shows the dialogFragment and I have to press back button again to dismiss it and one more time to finish the activity. I know I can override onBackPressed but I want to know why this happens? why dose it again show the dialogfragment?
What is wrong with my code?
What you do is in showDialogFragment() you add this fragment to FragmentManager to backstack. Then in cancelDialogFragment() method you remove it from backstack with ft.remove(prev);
So now, your backstack is as it was before showing DialogFragment.
But what you do next is, that you add this DialogFragment again to backstack. It is not shown, but it is on the top of backstack. That means, if you press backButton, the top item in backstack, your DialogFragment, will be shown. On the next BackPress, your DialogFragment will be dismissed.
So dont add the fragment to backstack in your cancelDialogFragment() method.
Remove this line:
ft.addToBackStack(null);
Replace your entire cancelDialogFragment with this:
public static void cancelDialogFragment(FragmentManager fm,String tag){
fm.popBackStack();
}
Finally I have found the reason and the correct answer. the problem is with:
ft.addToBackStack(null);
From document:
Add this transaction to the back stack. This means that the
transaction will be remembered after it is committed, and will reverse
its operation when later popped off the stack.
Parameters name An optional name for this back stack state, or null.
that menas:
hey android I have removed dialogfragment from backstack (so there is nothing on the top of the backStack and the answer of #Vojtaaa9 is wrong because as I added the comment when you run MyDialogFragment prev = (MyDialogFragment )fm.findFragmentByTag(tag); after calling cancel you will get null, this means the backStack dose not have any dialogfragment) but remmber my action, remember that there was a dialogfragment but now it has removed. When user presses the back button the transaction reverses, it means that now there is nothing on the top of the backStack but then android pushes a dialogFragment to the backStack to do the transaction in a reverse order.

How to replace a DialogFragment by another DialogFragment?

We add a general/normal Fragment programatically by doing something like:
fragmentTransaction.add(containerViewId, fragmentToAdd, fragmentTag);
and we replace a Fragment by another by doing something like:
fragmentTransaction.replace(containerViewId, newFragment, tagOfNewFragment);
But we add a DialogFragment by
dialogFramentInstance.show(fragmentManager, fragmentTag);
The question is that how should I replace this DialogFragment which has been added by the show() method?
dialogFramentInstance.show(fragmentManager, fragmentTag);
Just adds the dialog fragment to the fragment manger using an add transaction (with no container).
In order to replace fragments you'll need a container and since you don't have one your only option is to dismiss() the first one and show() the new one.
private void closeYourDialogFragment() {
FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
Fragment fragmentToRemove = getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("your_dialog_fragment");
if (fragmentToRemove != null) {
ft.remove(fragmentToRemove);
}
ft.addToBackStack(null);
ft.commit(); // or ft.commitAllowingStateLoss()
}
private void replaceYourDialogFragment() {
closeYourDialogFragment();
YourDialogFragment yourDialogFragment = new YourDialogFragment();
yourDialogFragment.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "your_dialog_fragment");
}
Maybe you can do like this:
public void showFragment(Fragment fragment) {
if (fragment instanceof DialogFragment) {
FragmentTransaction ft = mContext.getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
Fragment prev = mContext.getFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("dialog");
if (prev != null) {
Log.d(TAG, "showFragment: remove prev...." + prev.getClass().getSimpleName());
ft.remove(prev);
}
mContext.getFragmentManager().executePendingTransactions();
if (!fragment.isAdded()){
ft.addToBackStack(null);
((DialogFragment) fragment).show(ft, "dialog");
} else {
Log.w(TAG, "showFragment: fragment has been added!" );
}
}
}
So this took me a lot of digging to figure out.
Dialog fragment show method only adds fragments hence if you want to replace them you have to manually remove the previous dialog fragment.
One thing to keep in mind, it is important to use the same fragmentManager used to open the initial dialog fragment. For example if you opened the first dialog fragment via an Activity (supportFragmentManager) and now using the dialog fragment fragment manager (childFragmentManager) since they do not have the same stack you wont be able to access the original dialog fragment and remove it.
