How to close the current fragment by using Button like the back button?

Question

I have try to close the current fragment by using Imagebutton.

I am in Fragment-A and it will turn to the Fragment-B when I click the button.

And when I click the button at Fragment-B , it will turn to the Fragment-C and close the Fragment-B.

If I click the back button at Fragment-C , it will back to the Fragment-A.

The code I have try is like the following

camera_album = (ImageButton) view.findViewById(R.id.camera_album);

camera_album.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {

                    closefragment();
        Fragment fragment = FileBrowserFragment.newInstance(null, null, null) ;
        MainActivity.addFragment(LocalFileBrowserFragment.this, fragment) ;


    }
});

private void closefragment() {
    getActivity().getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().remove(this).commit();
}

When I click the back button at fragment-B , it turn to the Fragment-C.

But when I click the back button on Fragment-C , it doesn't back to the Fragment-A. It back to the empty background. If I want to back to Fragment-A , I have to click the back button once again.

SO , it seem doesn't close the current fragment complete.

How to finish the current fragment like the back button of Android ?

What is this `MainActivity.addFragment(LocalFileBrowserFragment.this, fragment)`??. you need to add the fragment to backstak and pop the same accordingly — Raghunandan, Dec 28 '13 at 09:25

I changed the code from

getActivity().getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().remove(this).commit();

to

getActivity().getFragmentManager().popBackStack();

And it pops out the top fragment

This worked for me context.supportFragmentManager.beginTransaction().remove(this@MyFragment).commit() – Faizan Haidar Khan Nov 05 '21 at 17:20
With fragment of type androidx.fragment.app.Fragment, this seems to leave the fragment header. Therefore I have my main app, with the popped fragment header still showing. The getActivity().onBackPressed() seem to work better for me. – Ben Jun 22 '22 at 15:08

Don't forget to use "getSupportFragmentManager()" in case "getFragmentManager()" isn't working for you – Joe Okatch Sep 12 '22 at 13:49
Unfortunately this is outdated. Use: OnBackPressedCallback from now on. – Dominik Oct 01 '22 at 14:26

getActivity() can be null lot of times. – Arpit J. Dec 17 '19 at 07:44

@ArpitJ. it's only null before onAttach() is called, a fragment can't live without an activity. – Tamim Attafi Jan 30 '20 at 11:05
@TamimAttafi True, but I was referring to cases like rotation or activity is finished and due to some reason fragment instance is still there then it will return null. – Arpit J. Jan 30 '20 at 11:19

`popBackStack()` and `popBackStackImmediate()` are more direct ways of popping the topmost fragment without simulating a button press. Using `onBackPressed()` triggers `OnBackPressedCallback`s; if in the future you want to handle Back button presses specifically, you'll have to switch to `popBackStack()`/`popBackStackImmediate()` to avoid triggering the callbacks programmatically. – Nolan Amy Aug 22 '20 at 18:08
You put this code inside the Fragment's buttons's onclick method. – Anon Oct 13 '20 at 13:24
Terrible solution. Altho it gives the results initially, it can cause many problems once you start overriding OnBackPress or if let's say the keyboard is open or something, the back press you initiate will only close the keyboard not the fragment. And these are only a few of the many possible problems you can encounter with this solution. User popBackStack() or popBackStackImmediate(). – Itay Feldman May 18 '21 at 11:24

From Fragment A, to go to B, replace A with B and use addToBackstack() before commit().

Now From Fragment B, to go to C, first use popBackStackImmediate(), this will bring back A. Now replace A with C, just like the first transaction.

Try this:

public void removeFragment(Fragment fragment){
    android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
    android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();

    fragmentTransaction.remove(fragment);
    fragmentTransaction.commit();
}

This is a Kotlin way of doing this, I have created button in fragment layout and then set onClickListner in onViewCreated.

according to @Viswanath-Lekshmanan comment

override fun onViewCreated(view: View?, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) 
{
     super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)

     btn_FragSP_back.setOnClickListener {
        activity?.onBackPressed()
    }
}

You can try this logic because it is worked for me.

frag_profile profile_fragment = new frag_profile();

boolean flag = false;
@SuppressLint("ResourceType")
public void profile_Frag(){
    if (flag == false) {
        FragmentManager manager = getFragmentManager();
        FragmentTransaction transaction = manager.beginTransaction();
        manager.getBackStackEntryCount();
        transaction.setCustomAnimations(R.anim.transition_anim0, R.anim.transition_anim1);
        transaction.replace(R.id.parentPanel, profile_fragment, "FirstFragment");
        transaction.commit();
        flag = true;
    }

}

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    if (flag == true) {
        FragmentManager manager = getFragmentManager();
        FragmentTransaction transaction = manager.beginTransaction();
        manager.getBackStackEntryCount();
        transaction.remove(profile_fragment);
        transaction.commit();
        flag = false;
    }
    else super.onBackPressed();
}

Try this:

ft.addToBackStack(null);   // ft is FragmentTransaction

So, when you press back-key, the current activity (which holds multiple fragments) will load previous fragment rather than finishing itself.

This simple code actually removes the current fragment view by a OK or Close button on it. I use it for quitting a light setting panel displayed as a Fragment and go back to the Activity. Sorry for this trick but under Android 8, I think it is not so practical to manage multiple Fragment. – Bruno L. Mar 04 '18 at 03:26

If you need to handle the action more specifically with the back button you can use the following method:

view.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
view.requestFocus();
view.setOnKeyListener(new View.OnKeyListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
        if( keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK )
        {
            onCloseFragment();
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }
});

In your Fragments onCreateView(...) you can remove a view by calling container.removeView(view);. So if you want to remove the fragment, then view should be the return value of onCreateView,

for example

    public View onCreateView(...){
        final View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.your_fragments_layout,container,false);
        //Do something
        finishButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v){
                container.removeView(view);
            }
        });
        return view;
    }

For remove current fragment B and navigate to stack back (other fragment A):

private fun navigateToBackStack() {
    requireActivity().supportFragmentManager
        .beginTransaction()
        .remove(this)
        .commit()
    requireActivity().supportFragmentManager.popBackStack()
}
