Getting to the previous fragment when pressing back button

Question

I have a fragment class.In that class i can go to another fragment class by clicking a gridview item. How can i come to the original class by pressing the back button.

Ex :TheaterFragment class --->Gridview ---->click item in gridview-----> TheaterDetailsFragment

I want to press the back button from the TheaterDetailsFragment and come to TheaterFragment class again.

Thanks in advance

        fragmentTransaction.commit();  */

            new BackGround().execute();

        return view;
    }


    public class BackGround extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {

        @Override
        protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {

            filmTheater = JSONServices.getTheater();
            return null;
        }

        @Override

            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            super.onPreExecute();
        }

    }

}

TheaterDetailFragment

package com.fortuna.cinemalk;

import com.fortuna.cinemalk.service.CommonVariable;

import android.app.Activity;

import android.widget.GridView;

public class TheaterDetailFragment extends Fragment {

    private Activity activity;


    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {



        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.filmhall, container,
                false);

        activity = this.getActivity();


        return view;
    }



    }

have you tried using `add` in place of `replace`? and You can use `backstack` — , Aug 08 '14 at 09:26

@IKmhr , there i'm using that code to go from TheaterFragment to TheaterDetailsFragment. What i want is to come back from TheaterDetailsFragment to TheaterFragment. — CraZyDroiD, Aug 08 '14 at 09:34
Try changing `fragmentManager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.content_frame, detail).commit();` to `fragmentManager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.content_frame, detail).addToBackStack("back").commit();` — , Aug 08 '14 at 09:36

Since this solved your problem, I'll post it as an answer-

Replace

fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
    .replace(R.id.content_frame, detail)
    .commit();

with

fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
    .replace(R.id.content_frame, detail)
    .addToBackStack("back")     //add this
    .commit();

This works because (from the API Guides)

When you perform such a fragment transaction, you can also add it to a back stack that's managed by the activity—each back stack entry in the activity is a record of the fragment transaction that occurred. The back stack allows the user to reverse a fragment transaction (navigate backwards), by pressing the Back button.

There is some documentation here: http://developer.android.com/training/implementing-navigation/temporal.html

But essentially, before calling commit() add the line

.addToBackStack(null)

The null is an optional name for the stack.
