|
| Use the [AndroidX](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx.html) [Preference Library](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/preference/package-summary.html) for consistent behavior across all devices. For more information on using the AndroidX Preference Library see [Settings](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/settings.html).
Shows a hierarchy of [Preference](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/preference/Preference) objects as lists. These preferences will automatically save to [SharedPreferences](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/SharedPreferences.html#) as the user interacts with them. To retrieve an instance of [SharedPreferences](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/SharedPreferences.html#) that the preference hierarchy in this fragment will use, call [PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(android.content.Context)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/preference/PreferenceManager#getDefaultSharedPreferences(android.content.Context)) with a context in the same package as this fragment.
Furthermore, the preferences shown will follow the visual style of system preferences. It is easy to create a hierarchy of preferences (that can be shown on multiple screens) via XML. For these reasons, it is recommended to use this fragment (as a superclass) to deal with preferences in applications.
A [PreferenceScreen](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/preference/PreferenceScreen) object should be at the top of the preference hierarchy. Furthermore, subsequent [PreferenceScreen](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/preference/PreferenceScreen) in the hierarchy denote a screen break--that is the preferences contained within subsequent [PreferenceScreen](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/preference/PreferenceScreen) should be shown on another screen. The preference framework handles showing these other screens from the preference hierarchy.
The preference hierarchy can be formed in multiple ways:
- From an XML file specifying the hierarchy
- From different [Activities](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Activity.html#) that each specify its own preferences in an XML file via [Activity](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Activity.html#) meta-data
- From an object hierarchy rooted with [PreferenceScreen](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/preference/PreferenceScreen)
To inflate from XML, use the [addPreferencesFromResource(int)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/preference/PreferenceFragment#addPreferencesFromResource(kotlin.Int)). The root element should be a [PreferenceScreen](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/preference/PreferenceScreen). Subsequent elements can point to actual [Preference](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/preference/Preference) subclasses. As mentioned above, subsequent [PreferenceScreen](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/preference/PreferenceScreen) in the hierarchy will result in the screen break.
To specify an [Intent](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/Intent.html#) to query [Activities](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Activity.html#) that each have preferences, use [addPreferencesFromIntent](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/preference/PreferenceFragment#addPreferencesFromIntent(android.content.Intent)). Each [Activity](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Activity.html#) can specify meta-data in the manifest (via the key [PreferenceManager.METADATA_KEY_PREFERENCES](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/preference/PreferenceManager#METADATA_KEY_PREFERENCES:kotlin.String)) that points to an XML resource. These XML resources will be inflated into a single preference hierarchy and shown by this fragment.
To specify an object hierarchy rooted with [PreferenceScreen](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/preference/PreferenceScreen), use [setPreferenceScreen(android.preference.PreferenceScreen)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/preference/PreferenceFragment#setPreferenceScreen(android.preference.PreferenceScreen)).
As a convenience, this fragment implements a click listener for any preference in the current hierarchy, see [onPreferenceTreeClick(android.preference.PreferenceScreen,android.preference.Preference)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/preference/PreferenceFragment#onPreferenceTreeClick(android.preference.PreferenceScreen,%20android.preference.Preference)).

This is a good opportunity to clean up resources that can efficiently and quickly be re-built if the user returns to the app.
| | [Int](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html) | [TRIM_MEMORY_COMPLETE](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/ComponentCallbacks2.html#TRIM_MEMORY_COMPLETE:kotlin.Int) Level for [onTrimMemory(int)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/ComponentCallbacks2.html#onTrimMemory(kotlin.Int)): the process is nearing the end of the background LRU list, and if more memory isn't found soon it will be killed.
| | [Int](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html) | [TRIM_MEMORY_MODERATE](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/ComponentCallbacks2.html#TRIM_MEMORY_MODERATE:kotlin.Int) Level for [onTrimMemory(int)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/ComponentCallbacks2.html#onTrimMemory(kotlin.Int)): the process is around the middle of the background LRU list; freeing memory can help the system keep other processes running later in the list for better overall performance.
| | [Int](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html) | [TRIM_MEMORY_RUNNING_CRITICAL](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/ComponentCallbacks2.html#TRIM_MEMORY_RUNNING_CRITICAL:kotlin.Int) Level for [onTrimMemory(int)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/ComponentCallbacks2.html#onTrimMemory(kotlin.Int)): the process is not an expendable background process, but the device is running extremely low on memory and is about to not be able to keep any background processes running. Your running process should free up as many non-critical resources as it can to allow that memory to be used elsewhere. The next thing that will happen after this is [onLowMemory()](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/ComponentCallbacks.html#onLowMemory()) called to report that nothing at all can be kept in the background, a situation that can start to notably impact the user.
| | [Int](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html) | [TRIM_MEMORY_RUNNING_LOW](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/ComponentCallbacks2.html#TRIM_MEMORY_RUNNING_LOW:kotlin.Int) Level for [onTrimMemory(int)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/ComponentCallbacks2.html#onTrimMemory(kotlin.Int)): the process is not an expendable background process, but the device is running low on memory. Your running process should free up unneeded resources to allow that memory to be used elsewhere.
| | [Int](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html) | [TRIM_MEMORY_RUNNING_MODERATE](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/ComponentCallbacks2.html#TRIM_MEMORY_RUNNING_MODERATE:kotlin.Int) Level for [onTrimMemory(int)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/ComponentCallbacks2.html#onTrimMemory(kotlin.Int)): the process is not an expendable background process, but the device is running moderately low on memory. Your running process may want to release some unneeded resources for use elsewhere.
| | [Int](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html) | [TRIM_MEMORY_UI_HIDDEN](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/ComponentCallbacks2.html#TRIM_MEMORY_UI_HIDDEN:kotlin.Int) Level for [onTrimMemory(int)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/ComponentCallbacks2.html#onTrimMemory(kotlin.Int)): the process had been showing a user interface, and is no longer doing so. Large allocations with the UI should be released at this point to allow memory to be better managed.

A null value will cause transferred shared elements to blink to the final position. If no value is set, the default will be to use the same value as [setSharedElementEnterTransition(android.transition.Transition)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#setSharedElementEnterTransition(android.transition.Transition)).

By default fragments are shown. You can find out about changes to this state with [onHiddenChanged](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onHiddenChanged(kotlin.Boolean)). Note that the hidden state is orthogonal to other states -- that is, to be visible to the user, a fragment must be both started and not hidden.

The default implementation simply returns false to have the normal processing happen (calling the item's Runnable or sending a message to its Handler as appropriate). You can use this method for any items for which you would like to do processing without those other facilities. Use [MenuItem.getMenuInfo()](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/view/MenuItem.html#getMenuInfo()) to get extra information set by the View that added this menu item. Derived classes should call through to the base class for it to perform the default menu handling.
| | [Animator](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/animation/Animator.html#)! | [onCreateAnimator](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onCreateAnimator(kotlin.Int,%20kotlin.Boolean,%20kotlin.Int))`(`transit:` `[Int](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html)`, `enter:` `[Boolean](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-boolean/index.html)`, `nextAnim:` `[Int](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html)`)` Called when a fragment loads an animation.

Unlike [onCreateOptionsMenu](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onCreateOptionsMenu(android.view.Menu,%20android.view.MenuInflater)), this will be called every time the context menu is about to be shown and should be populated for the view (or item inside the view for [AdapterView](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/widget/AdapterView.html#) subclasses, this can be found in the `menuInfo`)). Use [onContextItemSelected(android.view.MenuItem)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onContextItemSelected(android.view.MenuItem)) to know when an item has been selected. The default implementation calls up to [Activity.onCreateContextMenu](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Activity.html#onCreateContextMenu(android.view.ContextMenu,%20android.view.View,%20android.view.ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo)), though you can not call this implementation if you don't want that behavior. It is not safe to hold onto the context menu after this method returns. Called when the context menu for this view is being built. It is not safe to hold onto the menu after this method returns.

You should place your menu items in to menu. For this method to be called, you must have first called [setHasOptionsMenu](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#setHasOptionsMenu(kotlin.Boolean)). See [Activity.onCreateOptionsMenu](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Activity.html#onCreateOptionsMenu(android.view.Menu)) for more information.
| | [Unit](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-unit/index.html) | [onDestroyOptionsMenu](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onDestroyOptionsMenu())`()` Called when this fragment's option menu items are no longer being included in the overall options menu. Receiving this call means that the menu needed to be rebuilt, but this fragment's items were not included in the newly built menu (its [onCreateOptionsMenu(android.view.Menu,android.view.MenuInflater)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onCreateOptionsMenu(android.view.Menu,%20android.view.MenuInflater)) was not called).
| | [Unit](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-unit/index.html) | [onDetach](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onDetach())`()` Called when the fragment is no longer attached to its activity. This is called after [onDestroy()](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onDestroy()), except in the cases where the fragment instance is retained across Activity re-creation (see [setRetainInstance(boolean)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#setRetainInstance(kotlin.Boolean))), in which case it is called after [onStop()](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onStop()). If you override this method you *must* call through to the superclass implementation.
| | [LayoutInflater](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/view/LayoutInflater.html#)! | [onGetLayoutInflater](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onGetLayoutInflater(android.os.Bundle))`(`savedInstanceState:` `[Bundle](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/os/Bundle.html#)!`)` Returns the LayoutInflater used to inflate Views of this Fragment. The default implementation will throw an exception if the Fragment is not attached.
| | [Unit](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-unit/index.html) | [onHiddenChanged](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onHiddenChanged(kotlin.Boolean))`(`hidden:` `[Boolean](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-boolean/index.html)`)` Called when the hidden state (as returned by [isHidden()](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#isHidden()) of the fragment has changed. Fragments start out not hidden; this will be called whenever the fragment changes state from that.
| | [Unit](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-unit/index.html) | [onInflate](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onInflate(android.app.Activity,%20android.util.AttributeSet,%20android.os.Bundle))`(`activity:` `[Activity](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Activity.html#)!`, `attrs:` `[AttributeSet](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/util/AttributeSet.html#)!`, `savedInstanceState:` `[Bundle](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/os/Bundle.html#)!`)`

This may be called immediately after the fragment is created from a tag in a layout file. Note this is *before* the fragment's [onAttach(android.app.Activity)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onAttach(android.app.Activity)) has been called; all you should do here is parse the attributes and save them away. This is called every time the fragment is inflated, even if it is being inflated into a new instance with saved state. It typically makes sense to re-parse the parameters each time, to allow them to change with different configurations. Here is a typical implementation of a fragment that can take parameters both through attributes supplied here as well from [getArguments()](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#getArguments()): Note that parsing the XML attributes uses a "styleable" resource. The declaration for the styleable used here is: The fragment can then be declared within its activity's content layout through a tag like this: This fragment can also be created dynamically from arguments given at runtime in the arguments Bundle; here is an example of doing so at creation of the containing activity:

| | [Unit](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-unit/index.html) | [onLowMemory](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onLowMemory())`()` This is called when the overall system is running low on memory, and actively running processes should trim their memory usage. While the exact point at which this will be called is not defined, generally it will happen when all background process have been killed. That is, before reaching the point of killing processes hosting service and foreground UI that we would like to avoid killing. If you override this method you *must* call through to the superclass implementation.

This can be used to do initialization based on saved state that you are letting the view hierarchy track itself, such as whether check box widgets are currently checked. This is called after [onActivityCreated(android.os.Bundle)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onActivityCreated(android.os.Bundle)) and before [onStart()](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onStart()). If you override this method you *must* call through to the superclass implementation.
| | [Unit](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-unit/index.html) | [postponeEnterTransition](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#postponeEnterTransition())`()` Postpone the entering Fragment transition until [startPostponedEnterTransition()](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#startPostponedEnterTransition()) or [FragmentManager.executePendingTransactions()](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/FragmentManager.html#executePendingTransactions()) has been called. This method gives the Fragment the ability to delay Fragment animations until all data is loaded. Until then, the added, shown, and attached Fragments will be INVISIBLE and removed, hidden, and detached Fragments won't be have their Views removed. The transaction runs when all postponed added Fragments in the transaction have called [startPostponedEnterTransition()](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#startPostponedEnterTransition()). This method should be called before being added to the FragmentTransaction or in [onCreate(android.os.Bundle)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onCreate(android.os.Bundle)), [onAttach(android.content.Context)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onAttach(android.content.Context)), or [onCreateView(android.view.LayoutInflater,android.view.ViewGroup,android.os.Bundle)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onCreateView(android.view.LayoutInflater,%20android.view.ViewGroup,%20android.os.Bundle))}. [startPostponedEnterTransition()](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#startPostponedEnterTransition()) must be called to allow the Fragment to start the transitions. When a FragmentTransaction is started that may affect a postponed FragmentTransaction, based on which containers are in their operations, the postponed FragmentTransaction will have its start triggered. The early triggering may result in faulty or nonexistent animations in the postponed transaction. FragmentTransactions that operate only on independent containers will not interfere with each other's postponement. Calling postponeEnterTransition on Fragments with a null View will not postpone the transition. Likewise, postponement only works if FragmentTransaction optimizations are enabled.
| | [Unit](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-unit/index.html) | [registerForContextMenu](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#registerForContextMenu(android.view.View))`(`view:` `[View](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/view/View.html#)!`)` Registers a context menu to be shown for the given view (multiple views can show the context menu). This method will set the [OnCreateContextMenuListener](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/view/View.OnCreateContextMenuListener.html#) on the view to this fragment, so [onCreateContextMenu(android.view.ContextMenu,android.view.View,android.view.ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onCreateContextMenu(android.view.ContextMenu,%20android.view.View,%20android.view.ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo)) will be called when it is time to show the context menu.
| | [Unit](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-unit/index.html) | [requestPermissions](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#requestPermissions(kotlin.Array,%20kotlin.Int))`(`permissions:` `[Array](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-array/index.html)<[String](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-string/index.html)!>`, `requestCode:` `[Int](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html)`)` Requests permissions to be granted to this application. These permissions must be requested in your manifest, they should not be granted to your app, and they should have protection level [#PROTECTION_DANGEROUS dangerous](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/pm/PermissionInfo.html#), regardless whether they are declared by the platform or a third-party app. Normal permissions [android.content.pm.PermissionInfo#PROTECTION_NORMAL](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/pm/PermissionInfo.html#PROTECTION_NORMAL:kotlin.Int) are granted at install time if requested in the manifest. Signature permissions [android.content.pm.PermissionInfo#PROTECTION_SIGNATURE](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/pm/PermissionInfo.html#PROTECTION_SIGNATURE:kotlin.Int) are granted at install time if requested in the manifest and the signature of your app matches the signature of the app declaring the permissions. Call [shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(java.lang.String)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(kotlin.String)) before calling this API to check if the system recommends to show a rationale UI before asking for a permission. If your app does not have the requested permissions the user will be presented with UI for accepting them. After the user has accepted or rejected the requested permissions you will receive a callback on [onRequestPermissionsResult(int,java.lang.String[],int[])](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onRequestPermissionsResult(kotlin.Int,%20kotlin.Array,%20kotlin.IntArray)) reporting whether the permissions were granted or not. Note that requesting a permission does not guarantee it will be granted and your app should be able to run without having this permission. This method may start an activity allowing the user to choose which permissions to grant and which to reject. Hence, you should be prepared that your activity may be paused and resumed. Further, granting some permissions may require a restart of you application. In such a case, the system will recreate the activity stack before delivering the result to [onRequestPermissionsResult(int,java.lang.String[],int[])](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onRequestPermissionsResult(kotlin.Int,%20kotlin.Array,%20kotlin.IntArray)). When checking whether you have a permission you should use [android.content.Context#checkSelfPermission(String)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/Context.html#checkSelfPermission(kotlin.String)). Calling this API for permissions already granted to your app would show UI to the user to decide whether the app can still hold these permissions. This can be useful if the way your app uses data guarded by the permissions changes significantly. You cannot request a permission if your activity sets [noHistory](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/R.styleable.html#AndroidManifestActivity_noHistory:kotlin.Int) to `true` because in this case the activity would not receive result callbacks including [onRequestPermissionsResult(int,java.lang.String[],int[])](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onRequestPermissionsResult(kotlin.Int,%20kotlin.Array,%20kotlin.IntArray)).

The arguments supplied here will be retained across fragment destroy and creation. This method cannot be called if the fragment is added to a FragmentManager and if [isStateSaved()](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#isStateSaved()) would return true. Prior to [Build.VERSION_CODES.O](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES.html#O:kotlin.Int), this method may only be called if the fragment has not yet been added to a FragmentManager.

The entering Views will be those that are regular Views or ViewGroups that have [ViewGroup.isTransitionGroup](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/view/ViewGroup.html#isTransitionGroup()) return true. Typical Transitions will extend [android.transition.Visibility](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/transition/Visibility.html#) as entering is governed by changing visibility from [View.INVISIBLE](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/view/View.html#INVISIBLE:kotlin.Int) to [View.VISIBLE](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/view/View.html#VISIBLE:kotlin.Int).

The exiting Views will be those that are regular Views or ViewGroups that have [ViewGroup.isTransitionGroup](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/view/ViewGroup.html#isTransitionGroup()) return true. Typical Transitions will extend [android.transition.Visibility](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/transition/Visibility.html#) as exiting is governed by changing visibility from [View.VISIBLE](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/view/View.html#VISIBLE:kotlin.Int) to [View.INVISIBLE](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/view/View.html#INVISIBLE:kotlin.Int).

| | [Unit](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-unit/index.html) | [setMenuVisibility](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#setMenuVisibility(kotlin.Boolean))`(`menuVisible:` `[Boolean](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-boolean/index.html)`)` Set a hint for whether this fragment's menu should be visible. This is useful if you know that a fragment has been placed in your view hierarchy so that the user can not currently seen it, so any menu items it has should also not be shown.
| | [Unit](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-unit/index.html) | [setReenterTransition](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#setReenterTransition(android.transition.Transition))`(`transition:` `[Transition](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/transition/Transition.html#)!`)` Sets the Transition that will be used to move Views in to the scene when returning due to popping a back stack. The entering Views will be those that are regular Views or ViewGroups that have [ViewGroup.isTransitionGroup](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/view/ViewGroup.html#isTransitionGroup()) return true. Typical Transitions will extend [android.transition.Visibility](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/transition/Visibility.html#) as exiting is governed by changing visibility from [View.VISIBLE](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/view/View.html#VISIBLE:kotlin.Int) to [View.INVISIBLE](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/view/View.html#INVISIBLE:kotlin.Int). If transition is null, the views will remain unaffected. If nothing is set, the default will be to use the same transition as [setExitTransition(android.transition.Transition)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#setExitTransition(android.transition.Transition)).

This can only be used with fragments not in the back stack. If set, the fragment lifecycle will be slightly different when an activity is recreated: - [onDestroy()](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onDestroy()) will not be called (but [onDetach()](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onDetach()) still will be, because the fragment is being detached from its current activity). - [onCreate(android.os.Bundle)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onCreate(android.os.Bundle)) will not be called since the fragment is not being re-created. - [onAttach(android.app.Activity)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onAttach(android.app.Activity)) and [onActivityCreated(android.os.Bundle)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onActivityCreated(android.os.Bundle)) **will** still be called.

The exiting Views will be those that are regular Views or ViewGroups that have [ViewGroup.isTransitionGroup](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/view/ViewGroup.html#isTransitionGroup()) return true. Typical Transitions will extend [android.transition.Visibility](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/transition/Visibility.html#) as entering is governed by changing visibility from [View.VISIBLE](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/view/View.html#VISIBLE:kotlin.Int) to [View.INVISIBLE](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/view/View.html#INVISIBLE:kotlin.Int). If `transition` is null, entering Views will remain unaffected. If nothing is set, the default will be to use the same value as set in [setEnterTransition(android.transition.Transition)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#setEnterTransition(android.transition.Transition)).

Typical Transitions will affect size and location, such as [android.transition.ChangeBounds](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/transition/ChangeBounds.html#). A null value will cause transferred shared elements to blink to the final position.
| | [Unit](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-unit/index.html) | [setSharedElementReturnTransition](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#setSharedElementReturnTransition(android.transition.Transition))`(`transition:` `[Transition](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/transition/Transition.html#)!`)` Sets the Transition that will be used for shared elements transferred back during a pop of the back stack. This Transition acts in the leaving Fragment. Typical Transitions will affect size and location, such as [android.transition.ChangeBounds](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/transition/ChangeBounds.html#). A null value will cause transferred shared elements to blink to the final position. If no value is set, the default will be to use the same value as [setSharedElementEnterTransition(android.transition.Transition)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#setSharedElementEnterTransition(android.transition.Transition)).

This may be used, for example, if this fragment is being started by another, and when done wants to give a result back to the first. The target set here is retained across instances via [FragmentManager.putFragment()](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/FragmentManager.html#putFragment(android.os.Bundle,%20kotlin.String,%20android.app.Fragment)).
| | [Unit](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-unit/index.html) | [setUserVisibleHint](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#setUserVisibleHint(kotlin.Boolean))`(`isVisibleToUser:` `[Boolean](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-boolean/index.html)`)` Set a hint to the system about whether this fragment's UI is currently visible to the user. This hint defaults to true and is persistent across fragment instance state save and restore. An app may set this to false to indicate that the fragment's UI is scrolled out of visibility or is otherwise not directly visible to the user. This may be used by the system to prioritize operations such as fragment lifecycle updates or loader ordering behavior. **Note:** This method may be called outside of the fragment lifecycle and thus has no ordering guarantees with regard to fragment lifecycle method calls. **Note:** Prior to Android N there was a platform bug that could cause `setUserVisibleHint` to bring a fragment up to the started state before its `FragmentTransaction` had been committed. As some apps relied on this behavior, it is preserved for apps that declare a `targetSdkVersion` of 23 or lower.

If postponeEnterTransition() was called, you must call startPostponedEnterTransition() or [FragmentManager.executePendingTransactions()](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/FragmentManager.html#executePendingTransactions()) to complete the FragmentTransaction. If postponement was interrupted with [FragmentManager.executePendingTransactions()](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/FragmentManager.html#executePendingTransactions()), before `startPostponedEnterTransition()`, animations may not run or may execute improperly.

### onActivityCreated
Added in [API level 11](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)
```
open fun onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState: Bundle?): Unit
```
**Deprecated:** *Deprecated in Java.*
Called when the fragment's activity has been created and this fragment's view hierarchy instantiated. It can be used to do final initialization once these pieces are in place, such as retrieving views or restoring state. It is also useful for fragments that use [setRetainInstance(boolean)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#setRetainInstance(kotlin.Boolean)) to retain their instance, as this callback tells the fragment when it is fully associated with the new activity instance. This is called after [onCreateView](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onCreateView(android.view.LayoutInflater,%20android.view.ViewGroup,%20android.os.Bundle)) and before [onViewStateRestored(android.os.Bundle)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onViewStateRestored(android.os.Bundle)).
If you override this method you *must* call through to the superclass implementation.
| Parameters ||
|----------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `savedInstanceState` | [Bundle](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/os/Bundle.html#)?: This value may be `null`. |
### onActivityResult
Added in [API level 11](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)
```
open fun onActivityResult(
requestCode: Int,
resultCode: Int,
data: Intent!
): Unit
```
**Deprecated:** *Deprecated in Java.*
| Parameters ||
|---------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `requestCode` | [Int](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html): The integer request code originally supplied to startActivityForResult(), allowing you to identify who this result came from. |
| `resultCode` | [Int](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html): The integer result code returned by the child activity through its setResult(). |
| `data` | [Intent](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/Intent.html#)!: An Intent, which can return result data to the caller (various data can be attached to Intent "extras"). |
### onCreate
Added in [API level 11](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)
```
open fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?): Unit
```
**Deprecated:** *Deprecated in Java.*
Called to do initial creation of a fragment. This is called after [onAttach(android.app.Activity)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onAttach(android.app.Activity)) and before [onCreateView(android.view.LayoutInflater,android.view.ViewGroup,android.os.Bundle)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onCreateView(android.view.LayoutInflater,%20android.view.ViewGroup,%20android.os.Bundle)), but is not called if the fragment instance is retained across Activity re-creation (see [setRetainInstance(boolean)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#setRetainInstance(kotlin.Boolean))).
Note that this can be called while the fragment's activity is still in the process of being created. As such, you can not rely on things like the activity's content view hierarchy being initialized at this point. If you want to do work once the activity itself is created, see [onActivityCreated(android.os.Bundle)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onActivityCreated(android.os.Bundle)).
If your app's `targetSdkVersion` is [android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#M](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES.html#M:kotlin.Int) or lower, child fragments being restored from the savedInstanceState are restored after `onCreate` returns. When targeting [android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#N](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES.html#N:kotlin.Int) or above and running on an N or newer platform version they are restored by `Fragment.onCreate`.
If you override this method you *must* call through to the superclass implementation.
| Parameters ||
|----------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `savedInstanceState` | [Bundle](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/os/Bundle.html#)?: This value may be `null`. |
### onCreateView
Added in [API level 11](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)
```
open fun onCreateView(
inflater: LayoutInflater!,
container: ViewGroup?,
savedInstanceState: Bundle?
): View?
```
**Deprecated:** *Deprecated in Java.*
Called to have the fragment instantiate its user interface view. This is optional, and non-graphical fragments can return null (which is the default implementation). This will be called between [onCreate(android.os.Bundle)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onCreate(android.os.Bundle)) and [onActivityCreated(android.os.Bundle)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onActivityCreated(android.os.Bundle)).
If you return a View from here, you will later be called in [onDestroyView](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onDestroyView()) when the view is being released.
| Parameters ||
|----------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `inflater` | [LayoutInflater](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/view/LayoutInflater.html#)!: The LayoutInflater object that can be used to inflate any views in the fragment, |
| `container` | [ViewGroup](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/view/ViewGroup.html#)?: This value may be `null`. |
| `savedInstanceState` | [Bundle](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/os/Bundle.html#)?: This value may be `null`. |
| Return ||
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
| [View](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/view/View.html#)? | Return the View for the fragment's UI, or null. |

```
open fun onViewCreated(
view: View!,
savedInstanceState: Bundle?
): Unit
```
**Deprecated:** *Deprecated in Java.*
Called immediately after [onCreateView(android.view.LayoutInflater,android.view.ViewGroup,android.os.Bundle)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/app/Fragment.html#onCreateView(android.view.LayoutInflater,%20android.view.ViewGroup,%20android.os.Bundle)) has returned, but before any saved state has been restored in to the view. This gives subclasses a chance to initialize themselves once they know their view hierarchy has been completely created. The fragment's view hierarchy is not however attached to its parent at this point.
