How to remove fragment from fragment itself

Question

I have an Activity which has the possibility to open a gallery, in order to display it I've created a Fragment subclass in which I do all of the customization.

The problem i'm facing is that I can't remove the Fragment in order to close the gallery.. What I've tried is the following:

closeGallery.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                getActivity().getFragmentManager().popBackStack();
            }
        });

But it doesn't remove the Fragment from the Activity. What is wrong with the code? Am I missing something in order to be able to remove the Fragment?

If it can help here's how I add the Fragment to the Activity:

frame = new FrameLayout(NewsDetailsActivity.this);
frame.setId(R.id.galleryFragment);
setContentView(frame, new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(
FrameLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, FrameLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString("gallery", newsDetails.gallery.toString());
Fragment newFragment = new GalleryFragment();
newFragment.setArguments(bundle);
FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
                ft.add(frame.getId(), newFragment).commit();

You try to open system gallery or gallery - your own implementation? — Sergey Shustikov, May 31 '16 at 14:27
@ssh it's my own implementation, it displays images downloaded from a webservice — LS_, May 31 '16 at 14:28

You missed add to back stack.

FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.add(frame.getId(), newFragment).addToBackStack(null).commit();
