FragmentManager

public abstract class FragmentManager implements FragmentResultOwner


Static library support version of the framework's android.app.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.

Constants

POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE

Added in 1.1.0
public static final int POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE = 1

Flag for popBackStack and popBackStack: 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.

Public constructors

FragmentManager

Added in 1.1.0
public FragmentManager()

Public methods

addFragmentOnAttachListener

Added in 1.3.0
public void addFragmentOnAttachListener(@NonNull FragmentOnAttachListener listener)

Add a FragmentOnAttachListener that should receive a call to onAttachFragment when a new Fragment is attached to this FragmentManager.

Parameters
@NonNull FragmentOnAttachListener listener

Listener to add

addOnBackStackChangedListener

Added in 1.1.0
public void addOnBackStackChangedListener(
    @NonNull FragmentManager.OnBackStackChangedListener listener
)

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

beginTransaction

Added in 1.1.0
public @NonNull 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.

clearBackStack

Added in 1.4.0
public void clearBackStack(@NonNull String name)

Clears the back stack previously saved via saveBackStack. This will result in all of the transactions that made up that back stack to be thrown away, thus destroying any fragments that were added through those transactions. All state of those fragments will be cleared as part of this process. If no state was previously saved with the given name, this operation does nothing.

This function is asynchronous -- it enqueues the request to clear, but the action will not be performed until the application returns to its event loop.

Parameters
@NonNull String name

The name of the back stack previously saved by saveBackStack.

clearFragmentResult

Added in 1.7.0-alpha10
public final void clearFragmentResult(@NonNull String requestKey)

Clears the stored result for the given requestKey. This clears any result that was previously set via setFragmentResult that hasn't yet been delivered to a FragmentResultListener.

Parameters
@NonNull String requestKey

key used to identify the result

clearFragmentResultListener

Added in 1.7.0-alpha10
public final void clearFragmentResultListener(@NonNull String requestKey)

Clears the stored FragmentResultListener for the given requestKey. This clears any FragmentResultListener that was previously set via setFragmentResultListener.

Parameters
@NonNull String requestKey

key used to identify the result

dump

Added in 1.1.0
public void dump(
    @NonNull String prefix,
    @Nullable FileDescriptor fd,
    @NonNull PrintWriter writer,
    @Nullable String[] args
)

Print the FragmentManager's state into the given stream.

Parameters
@NonNull String prefix

Text to print at the front of each line.

@Nullable FileDescriptor fd

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

@NonNull PrintWriter writer

A PrintWriter to which the dump is to be set.

@Nullable String[] args

Additional arguments to the dump request.

enableDebugLogging

Added in 1.1.0
Deprecated in 1.2.0
public static 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.

See also
isLoggable

enablePredictiveBack

Added in 1.7.0-alpha10
@PredictiveBackControl
public static void enablePredictiveBack(boolean enabled)

Control whether FragmentManager uses the new state predictive back feature that allows seeing the previous Fragment when using gesture back.

This should only be changed before any fragment transactions are done (i.e., in your Application class or prior to super.onCreate() in every activity).

Parameters
boolean enabled

Whether predictive back should be enabled.

executePendingTransactions

Added in 1.1.0
@MainThread
public 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.

findFragment

Added in 1.2.0
public static @NonNull F <F extends Fragment> findFragment(@NonNull View view)

Find a Fragment associated with the given View. This method will locate the Fragment associated with this view. This is automatically populated for the View returned by onCreateView and its children.

Parameters
@NonNull View view

the view to search from

Returns
@NonNull F

the locally scoped Fragment to the given view

Throws
java.lang.IllegalStateException

if the given view does not correspond with a Fragment.

findFragmentById

Added in 1.1.0
public @Nullable Fragment findFragmentById(@IdRes 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.

Returns
@Nullable Fragment

The fragment if found or null otherwise.

findFragmentByTag

Added in 1.1.0
public @Nullable Fragment findFragmentByTag(@Nullable 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.

If provided a null tag, this method returns null.

Parameters
@Nullable String tag

the tag used to search for the fragment

Returns
@Nullable Fragment

The fragment if found or null otherwise.

getBackStackEntryAt

The name of the entry in the bundle.

Returns
@Nullable Fragment

Returns the current Fragment instance that is associated with the given reference.

getFragmentFactory

Added in 1.1.0
public @NonNull FragmentFactory getFragmentFactory()

Gets the current FragmentFactory used to instantiate new Fragment instances.

If no factory has been explicitly set on this FragmentManager via setFragmentFactory, the FragmentFactory of the parent FragmentManager will be returned.

Returns
@NonNull FragmentFactory

the current FragmentFactory

getFragments

Added in 1.1.0
public @NonNull List<FragmentgetFragments()

Get a list of all fragments that are currently added to the FragmentManager. This may include those that are hidden as well as those that are shown. This will not include any fragments only in the back stack, or fragments that are detached or removed.

The order of the fragments in the list is the order in which they were added or attached.

Returns
@NonNull List<Fragment>

A list of all fragments that are added to the FragmentManager.

getPrimaryNavigationFragment

Added in 1.1.0
public @Nullable Fragment getPrimaryNavigationFragment()

Return the currently active primary navigation fragment for this FragmentManager. The primary navigation fragment is set by fragment transactions using setPrimaryNavigationFragment.

The primary navigation fragment's child FragmentManager will be called first to process delegated navigation actions such as popBackStack if no ID or transaction name is provided to pop to.

Returns
@Nullable Fragment

the fragment designated as the primary navigation fragment

getStrictModePolicy

Added in 1.4.0
public @Nullable FragmentStrictMode.Policy getStrictModePolicy()

Returns the current policy for this FragmentManager. If no policy is set, returns null.

isDestroyed

Added in 1.1.0
public boolean isDestroyed()

Returns true if the final Activity.onDestroy() call has been made on the FragmentManager's Activity, so this instance is now dead.

isStateSaved

Added in 1.1.0
public boolean isStateSaved()

Returns true if the FragmentManager's state has already been saved by its host. Any operations that would change saved state should not be performed if this method returns true. For example, any popBackStack() method, such as popBackStackImmediate or any FragmentTransaction using commit instead of commitAllowingStateLoss will change the state and will result in an error.

Returns
boolean

true if this FragmentManager's state has already been saved by its host

popBackStack

Added in 1.1.0
public void popBackStack()

Pop the top state off the back stack. This function is asynchronous -- it enqueues the request to pop, but the action will not be performed until the application returns to its event loop.

popBackStack

Added in 1.1.0
public void popBackStack(int id, int flags)

Pop all back stack states up to the one with the given identifier. This function is asynchronous -- it enqueues the request to pop, but the action will not be performed until the application returns to its event loop.

Parameters
int id

Identifier of the stated to be popped. If no identifier exists, false is returned. The identifier is the number returned by FragmentTransaction.commit(). The POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE flag can be used to control whether the named state itself is popped.

int flags

Either 0 or POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE.

popBackStack

Added in 1.1.0
public void popBackStack(@Nullable String name, int flags)

Pop the last fragment transition from the manager's fragment back stack. This function is asynchronous -- it enqueues the request to pop, but the action will not be performed until the application returns to its event loop.

Parameters
@Nullable String name

If non-null, this is the name of a previous back state to look for; if found, all states up to that state will be popped. The POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE flag can be used to control whether the named state itself is popped. If null, only the top state is popped.

int flags

Either 0 or POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE.

popBackStackImmediate

Added in 1.1.0
@MainThread
public boolean popBackStackImmediate()

Like popBackStack, but performs the operation immediately inside of the call. This is like calling executePendingTransactions afterwards without forcing the start of postponed Transactions.

Returns
boolean

Returns true if there was something popped, else false.

popBackStackImmediate

Added in 1.1.0
public boolean popBackStackImmediate(int id, int flags)

Like popBackStack, but performs the operation immediately inside of the call. This is like calling executePendingTransactions afterwards without forcing the start of postponed Transactions.

Returns
boolean

Returns true if there was something popped, else false.

popBackStackImmediate

Added in 1.1.0
@MainThread
public boolean popBackStackImmediate(@Nullable String name, int flags)

Like popBackStack, but performs the operation immediately inside of the call. This is like calling executePendingTransactions afterwards without forcing the start of postponed Transactions.

Returns
boolean

Returns true if there was something popped, else false.

putFragment

Added in 1.1.0
public void putFragment(
    @NonNull Bundle bundle,
    @NonNull String key,
    @NonNull Fragment fragment
)

Put a reference to a fragment in a Bundle. This Bundle can be persisted as saved state, and when later restoring getFragment will return the current instance of the same fragment.

Parameters
@NonNull Bundle bundle

The bundle in which to put the fragment reference.

@NonNull String key

The name of the entry in the bundle.

@NonNull Fragment fragment

The Fragment whose reference is to be stored.

registerFragmentLifecycleCallbacks

Added in 1.1.0
public void registerFragmentLifecycleCallbacks(
    @NonNull FragmentManager.FragmentLifecycleCallbacks cb,
    boolean recursive
)

Registers a FragmentLifecycleCallbacks to listen to fragment lifecycle events happening in this FragmentManager. All registered callbacks will be automatically unregistered when this FragmentManager is destroyed.

Parameters
@NonNull FragmentManager.FragmentLifecycleCallbacks cb

Callbacks to register

boolean recursive

true to automatically register this callback for all child FragmentManagers

removeFragmentOnAttachListener

Added in 1.3.0
public void removeFragmentOnAttachListener(
    @NonNull FragmentOnAttachListener listener
)

Remove a FragmentOnAttachListener that was previously added via addFragmentOnAttachListener. It will no longer get called when a new Fragment is attached.

Parameters
@NonNull FragmentOnAttachListener listener

Listener to remove

removeOnBackStackChangedListener

Added in 1.1.0
public void removeOnBackStackChangedListener(
    @NonNull FragmentManager.OnBackStackChangedListener listener
)

Remove a listener that was previously added with addOnBackStackChangedListener.

restoreBackStack

Added in 1.4.0
public void restoreBackStack(@NonNull String name)

Restores the back stack previously saved via saveBackStack. This will result in all of the transactions that made up that back stack to be re-executed, thus re-adding any fragments that were added through those transactions. All state of those fragments will be restored as part of this process. If no state was previously saved with the given name, this operation does nothing.

This function is asynchronous -- it enqueues the request to restore, but the action will not be performed until the application returns to its event loop.

Parameters
@NonNull String name

The name of the back stack previously saved by saveBackStack.

saveBackStack

Added in 1.4.0
public void saveBackStack(@NonNull String name)

Save the back stack. While this functions similarly to popBackStack, it does not throw away the state of any fragments that were added through those transactions. Instead, the back stack that is saved by this method can later be restored with its state in tact.

This function is asynchronous -- it enqueues the request to pop, but the action will not be performed until the application returns to its event loop.

Parameters
@NonNull String name

The name set by addToBackStack.

saveFragmentInstanceState

Added in 1.1.0
public @Nullable Fragment.SavedState saveFragmentInstanceState(@NonNull Fragment fragment)

Save the current instance state of the given Fragment. This can be used later when creating a new instance of the Fragment and adding it to the fragment manager, to have it create itself to match the current state returned here. Note that there are limits on how this can be used:

  • The Fragment must currently be attached to the FragmentManager.
  • A new Fragment created using this saved state must be the same class type as the Fragment it was created from.
  • The saved state can not contain dependencies on other fragments -- that is it can't use putFragment to store a fragment reference because that reference may not be valid when this saved state is later used. Likewise the Fragment's target and result code are not included in this state.
Parameters
@NonNull Fragment fragment

The Fragment whose state is to be saved.

Returns
@Nullable Fragment.SavedState

The generated state. This will be null if there was no interesting state created by the fragment.

setFragmentFactory

Added in 1.1.0
public void setFragmentFactory(@NonNull FragmentFactory fragmentFactory)

Set a FragmentFactory for this FragmentManager that will be used to create new Fragment instances from this point onward.

The child FragmentManager of all Fragments in this FragmentManager will also use this factory if one is not explicitly set.

Parameters
@NonNull FragmentFactory fragmentFactory

the factory to use to create new Fragment instances

setFragmentResult

Added in 1.7.0-alpha10
public final void setFragmentResult(@NonNull String requestKey, @NonNull Bundle result)

Sets the given result for the requestKey. This result will be delivered to a FragmentResultListener that is called given to setFragmentResultListener with the same requestKey. If no FragmentResultListener with the same key is set or the Lifecycle associated with the listener is not at least STARTED, the result is stored until one becomes available, or clearFragmentResult is called with the same requestKey.

Parameters
@NonNull String requestKey

key used to identify the result

@NonNull Bundle result

the result to be passed to another fragment

setFragmentResultListener

Added in 1.7.0-alpha10
public final void setFragmentResultListener(
    @NonNull String requestKey,
    @NonNull LifecycleOwner lifecycleOwner,
    @NonNull FragmentResultListener listener
)

Sets the FragmentResultListener for a given requestKey. Once the given LifecycleOwner is at least in the STARTED state, any results set by setFragmentResult using the same requestKey will be delivered to the callback. The callback will remain active until the LifecycleOwner reaches the DESTROYED state or clearFragmentResultListener is called with the same requestKey.

Parameters
@NonNull String requestKey

requestKey used to identify the result

@NonNull LifecycleOwner lifecycleOwner

lifecycleOwner for handling the result

@NonNull FragmentResultListener listener

listener for result changes

setStrictModePolicy

Added in 1.4.0
public void setStrictModePolicy(@Nullable FragmentStrictMode.Policy policy)

Sets the policy for what actions should be detected, as well as the penalty if such actions occur. The child FragmentManager of all Fragments in this FragmentManager will also use this policy if one is not explicitly set. Pass null to clear the policy.

Parameters
@Nullable FragmentStrictMode.Policy policy

the policy to put into place

toString

public @NonNull String toString()

unregisterFragmentLifecycleCallbacks

Added in 1.1.0
public void unregisterFragmentLifecycleCallbacks(
    @NonNull FragmentManager.FragmentLifecycleCallbacks cb
)

Unregisters a previously registered FragmentLifecycleCallbacks. If the callback was not previously registered this call has no effect. All registered callbacks will be automatically unregistered when this FragmentManager is destroyed.

Parameters
@NonNull FragmentManager.FragmentLifecycleCallbacks cb

Callbacks to unregister
