I'm currently using a ViewGroup (SwipeyTab implementation) to switch between Fragments. However, some Fragment "pages" get replaced by other Fragments on the same Tab, so I initially tried:
FragmentTransaction ft = fragment.getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.remove(currentFragment);
ft.add(newFragment,"");
ft.commit();
That code would remove the current fragment but not add newFragment (from Logcat, it would get instantiated but not appear).
I ended up adding it in the FragmentPagerAdapter.getItem(int position) call based on current state (based on this: Replace Fragment inside a ViewPager). However, I'd like to be able to add each newly replaced fragment to be part of the back stack.
I tried adding to backstack before removing the fragment:
currentFragment.getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().addToBackStack(null).commit(); FragmentTransaction ft = fragment.getFragmentManager().beginTransaction(); ft.remove(currentFragment);
ft.commit(); and that didn't work - it added the last fragment to the backstack, so when I pressed back, it would just reload the current fragment.
Is there anyway I can add a fragment to the backstack that has been replaced in the "non traditional" way?
