I'm currently trying to add a navigation drawer to my weather app, so I watched a youtube tutorial on it and was able to implement it the way I wanted to until I realized that the tutorial I watched didn't cover how I can implement the up/top back button for the nav drawer so as a matter of fact, I currently cannot get back to my default fragment after opening any of the nav tabs. I searched several sites and youtube videos looking for tutorials on how to implement the top back button but haven't seen/been able to find it. I also searched this site and still haven't found anyone with a similar issue here. Please, can anyone be of help?
Here's a screenshot of how my app currently is: https://i.stack.imgur.com/SeSjV.png but if I open any of the navbar options i.e settings and click back, I can't return back to the default fragment where the weather is displayed. It also doesn't have an up-back button as well.
Currently, clicking back only exits the app.
This is the only code I've tried and it didn't work:
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
if (item.getItemId() == android.R.id.home) {
int backStackCount = fragmentManager.getBackStackEntryCount();//check currently how many frags loaded
if (backStackCount > 0) {
fragmentManager.popBackStack(); //go back to previously loaded fragment
}
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
It gave the following error:
error: cannot find symbol int backStackCount = fragmentManager.getBackStackEntryCount();//check currently how many frags loaded
Here's my activity code:
