Android Fragment handle back button press
When you are transitioning between Fragments, call addToBackStack()
as part of your FragmentTransaction
:
FragmentTransaction tx = fragmentManager.beginTransation();
tx.replace( R.id.fragment, new MyFragment() ).addToBackStack( "tag" ).commit();
If you require more detailed control (i.e. when some Fragments are visible, you want to suppress the back key) you can set an OnKeyListener
on the parent view of your fragment:
//You need to add the following line for this solution to work; thanks skayred
fragment.getView().setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
fragment.getView().requestFocus();
fragment.getView().setOnKeyListener( new OnKeyListener()
{
@Override
public boolean onKey( View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event )
{
if( keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK )
{
return true;
}
return false;
}
} );
I'd rather do something like this:
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();
}
}
