FragmentManager

public abstract class FragmentManager
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager


Static library support version of the framework's FragmentManager. Used to write apps that run on platforms prior to Android 3.0. When running on Android 3.0 or above, this implementation is still used; it does not try to switch to the framework's implementation. See the framework FragmentManager documentation for a class overview.

Your activity must derive from FragmentActivity to use this. From such an activity, you can acquire the FragmentManager by calling getSupportFragmentManager().

Summary

Nested classes

interface FragmentManager.BackStackEntry

Representation of an entry on the fragment back stack, as created with FragmentTransaction.addToBackStack()

class FragmentManager.FragmentLifecycleCallbacks

Callback interface for listening to fragment state changes that happen within a given FragmentManager. 

interface FragmentManager.OnBackStackChangedListener

Interface to watch for changes to the back stack. 

Constants

int POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE

Flag for popBackStack(String, int) and popBackStack(int, int): If set, and the name or ID of a back stack entry has been supplied, then all matching entries will be consumed until one that doesn't match is found or the bottom of the stack is reached.

Public constructors

abstract boolean isStateSaved()

Returns true if the FragmentManager's state has already been saved by its host.

Pop the top state off the back stack.

abstract void popBackStack(int id, int flags)

Pop all back stack states up to the one with the given identifier.

abstract void popBackStack(String name, int flags)

Pop the last fragment transition from the manager's fragment back stack.

abstract boolean popBackStackImmediate()

Like popBackStack(), but performs the operation immediately inside of the call.

abstract boolean popBackStackImmediate(int id, int flags)

Like popBackStack(int, int), but performs the operation immediately inside of the call.

abstract boolean popBackStackImmediate(String name, int flags)

Like popBackStack(String, int), but performs the operation immediately inside of the call.

abstract void putFragment(Bundle bundle, String key, Fragment fragment)

Put a reference to a fragment in a Bundle.

abstract void registerFragmentLifecycleCallbacks(FragmentManager.FragmentLifecycleCallbacks cb, boolean recursive)

Registers a FragmentManager.FragmentLifecycleCallbacks to listen to fragment lifecycle events happening in this FragmentManager.

abstract void removeOnBackStackChangedListener(FragmentManager.OnBackStackChangedListener listener)

Remove a listener that was previously added with addOnBackStackChangedListener(OnBackStackChangedListener).

abstract Fragment.SavedState saveFragmentInstanceState(Fragment f)

Save the current instance state of the given Fragment.

abstract void unregisterFragmentLifecycleCallbacks(FragmentManager.FragmentLifecycleCallbacks cb)

Unregisters a previously registered FragmentManager.FragmentLifecycleCallbacks.

Constants

POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE

added in version 22.1.0
int POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE

Flag for popBackStack(String, int) and popBackStack(int, int): If set, and the name or ID of a back stack entry has been supplied, then all matching entries will be consumed until one that doesn't match is found or the bottom of the stack is reached. Otherwise, all entries up to but not including that entry will be removed.

Constant Value: 1 (0x00000001)

Public constructors

FragmentManager

added in version 22.1.0
FragmentManager ()

Public methods

addOnBackStackChangedListener

added in version 22.1.0
void addOnBackStackChangedListener (FragmentManager.OnBackStackChangedListener listener)

Add a new listener for changes to the fragment back stack.

Parameters
listener FragmentManager.OnBackStackChangedListener

beginTransaction

added in version 22.1.0
FragmentTransaction beginTransaction ()

Start a series of edit operations on the Fragments associated with this FragmentManager.

Note: A fragment transaction can only be created/committed prior to an activity saving its state. If you try to commit a transaction after FragmentActivity.onSaveInstanceState() (and prior to a following FragmentActivity.onStart or FragmentActivity.onResume(), you will get an error. This is because the framework takes care of saving your current fragments in the state, and if changes are made after the state is saved then they will be lost.

Returns
FragmentTransaction

dump

added in version 22.1.0
void dump (String prefix, 
                FileDescriptor fd, 
                PrintWriter writer, 
                String[] args)

Print the FragmentManager's state into the given stream.

Parameters
prefix String: Text to print at the front of each line.

fd FileDescriptor: The raw file descriptor that the dump is being sent to.

writer PrintWriter: A PrintWriter to which the dump is to be set.

args String: Additional arguments to the dump request.

enableDebugLogging

added in version 22.1.0
void enableDebugLogging (boolean enabled)

Control whether the framework's internal fragment manager debugging logs are turned on. If enabled, you will see output in logcat as the framework performs fragment operations.

Parameters
enabled boolean

executePendingTransactions

added in version 22.1.0
boolean executePendingTransactions ()

After a FragmentTransaction is committed with FragmentTransaction.commit(), it is scheduled to be executed asynchronously on the process's main thread. If you want to immediately executing any such pending operations, you can call this function (only from the main thread) to do so. Note that all callbacks and other related behavior will be done from within this call, so be careful about where this is called from.

If you are committing a single transaction that does not modify the fragment back stack, strongly consider using commitNow() instead. This can help avoid unwanted side effects when other code in your app has pending committed transactions that expect different timing.

This also forces the start of any postponed Transactions where postponeEnterTransition() has been called.

Returns
boolean Returns true if there were any pending transactions to be executed.

findFragmentById

added in version 22.1.0
Fragment findFragmentById (int id)

Finds a fragment that was identified by the given id either when inflated from XML or as the container ID when added in a transaction. This first searches through fragments that are currently added to the manager's activity; if no such fragment is found, then all fragments currently on the back stack associated with this ID are searched.

Parameters
id int

Returns
Fragment The fragment if found or null otherwise.

findFragmentByTag

added in version 22.1.0
Fragment findFragmentByTag (String tag)

Finds a fragment that was identified by the given tag either when inflated from XML or as supplied when added in a transaction. This first searches through fragments that are currently added to the manager's activity; if no such fragment is found, then all fragments currently on the back stack are searched.

Parameters
tag String

Returns
Fragment The fragment if found or null otherwise.

getBackStackEntryAt

added in version 22.1.0
FragmentManager.BackStackEntry getBackStackEntryAt (int index)

Return the BackStackEntry at index index in the back stack; entries start index 0 being the bottom of the stack.

Parameters
index int

Returns
FragmentManager.BackStackEntry

getBackStackEntryCount

added in version 22.1.0
int getBackStackEntryCount ()

Return the number of entries currently in the back stack.

Returns
