Handling back press when using fragments in Android
Try these methods. To me, the most useful solution is as follows:
In MainActivity:
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.gif_contents, gifPageTwoFragment, "gifPageTwoFragment").addToBackStack("gifPageTwoFragment").commit();
In GifPageTwoFragment:
@Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
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) {
Log.e("gif--","fragment back key is clicked");
getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStack("gifPageTwoFragment", FragmentManager.POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE);
return true;
}
return false;
}
});
}
I usually set an onKeyListener
to the View
in onResume
. From what I learned you have to take care to set setFocusableInTouchMode()
and requestFocus
on the View
.
This is a sample of what I use for this purpose:
@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){
// handle back button
return true;
}
return false;
}
});
}
In your oncreateView() method you need to write this code and in KEYCODE_BACk condition you can write whatever the functionality you want
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.xyz, container, false);
//Back pressed Logic for fragment
v.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
v.requestFocus();
v.setOnKeyListener(new View.OnKeyListener() {
@Override
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
getActivity().finish();
Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), MainActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
});
