Is there any new way to implement multiple back stacks automatically in android studio? - android-fragments

I am new in android studio and I hope that the question is not too trivial. I have been searching for several days to find an official solution for multiple back stacks in java script. Take a simple project I have, a bottom navigation with two items, item_home and item_users. like below:
My bottom navigation bar
This is the activity_main.xml code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<fragment
android:id="#+id/nav_host_fragment"
android:name="androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:defaultNavHost="true"
/>
<com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
android:id="#+id/bottomNavigationView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="50dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.5"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:menu="#menu/bottom_nav_menu"/>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
And I have two navigation graph for home and users items, selected programicaly in the MainActivity.java. Here is the MainActivity.java :
package com.example.testnavigationgraph;
import static androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment.findNavController;
import static androidx.navigation.ui.NavigationUI.setupActionBarWithNavController;
import androidx.annotation.NonNull;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import androidx.fragment.app.Fragment;
import androidx.fragment.app.FragmentContainerView;
import androidx.fragment.app.FragmentManager;
import androidx.navigation.NavController;
import androidx.navigation.NavOptions;
import androidx.navigation.Navigation;
import androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment;
import androidx.navigation.ui.NavigationUI;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView;
import com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private Bundle bundle;
private Fragment fragment;
FragmentManager fragmentManager;
BottomNavigationView bottomNavigationView;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
bottomNavigationView = findViewById(R.id.bottomNavigationView);
bottomNavigationView.setOnNavigationItemSelectedListener(bOnClickListener);
bottomNavigationView.setSelectedItemId(R.id.item_home);
}
///////////////////Bottom Navigation//////////////////////////////
private BottomNavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener
bOnClickListener =new BottomNavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener() {
#Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(#NonNull MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.item_home:
Navigation.findNavController(MainActivity.this,R.id.nav_host_fragment).setGraph(R.navigation.nav_graph);
return true;
case R.id.item_users:
Navigation.findNavController(MainActivity.this,R.id.nav_host_fragment).setGraph(R.navigation.nav_graph2);
return true;
}
return false;
}
};
}
Please make a fast, simple solution for this controversial and widely used issue in java script.

Why my Fragment class is not showing it`s content when using PagerTabStrip?

I am stucked at one problem regarding my fragments. I just want to switch between different fragments and show a menu on the top - quite standard I think - smth. like here:
For this purpose I set up a PageAdapter (where SMartFragmentStatePageAdapter is just derived from FragmentStatePagerAdapter):
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentPagerAdapter;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentStatePagerAdapter;
class ViewPagerAdapter extends SmartFragmentStatePagerAdapter {
public ViewPagerAdapter(FragmentManager manager) {
super(manager);
}
#Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) {
return ArrayListFragment.newInstance(position);
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return categories.length;
}
#Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
return categories[position];
}
}
I initializing the page adapter in my main class:
viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
SmartFragmentStatePagerAdapter adapter = new ViewPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
And my ArrayFragment Class looks like this:
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.annotation.NonNull;
import android.support.annotation.Nullable;
import android.support.v4.app.ListFragment;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.TextView;
import java.util.Collections;
public class ArrayListFragment extends ListFragment {
int mNum;
/**
* Create a new instance of CountingFragment, providing "num"
* as an argument.
*/
public static ArrayListFragment newInstance(int num) {
ArrayListFragment f = new ArrayListFragment();
// Supply num input as an argument.
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putInt("num", num);
f.setArguments(args);
return f;
}
/**
* When creating, retrieve this instance's number from its arguments.
*/
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
mNum = getArguments() != null ? getArguments().getInt("num") : 1;
}
/**
* The Fragment's UI is just a simple text view showing its
* instance number.
*/
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_pager_list, container, false);
View tv = v.findViewById(R.id.text);
int page = getArguments().getInt("num", -1);
((TextView)tv).setText("Fragment #" + mNum);
return v;
}
#Override
public void onViewCreated(#NonNull View view, #Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity(),
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, Collections.singletonList("test1")));
}
#Override
public void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
Log.i("FragmentList", "Item clicked: " + id);
}
}
Now the weired thing is, that for showing up the heading titles in of the PageAdapter I need to add the "PagerTabStrip" in my layout file - so my layout file for my main class looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:padding="4dip"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent">
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="#+id/pager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0px"
android:layout_weight="1">
<android.support.v4.view.PagerTabStrip
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
</android.support.v4.view.PagerTabStrip>
</android.support.v4.view.ViewPager>
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal"
android:gravity="center" android:measureWithLargestChild="true"
android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0">
<Button android:id="#+id/goto_first"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="first">
</Button>
<Button android:id="#+id/goto_last"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="last">
</Button>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
The Problem now is, when I am using the PagerTabStrip, then the content of the ArrayFragment is not shown up:
With the PagerTabStrip:
Without the PagerTabStrip:
So without the PagerTabStrip the content is shown and I do not know why.
I read here that the solution might be to use getChildFragmentManager() instead of getSupportFragmentManager(). But this function can only be used if my main class derives from Fragment, but it derives from FragmentActivity so this can not be the solution for me.
Any ideas?
I found out in the meanwhile what went wrong.
I was pretty sure, that there has to be a problem in the layout file and indeed it was. Probably I should not have set the android:layout_height="0px" :) Result of hours of hacking without break.
So with small adaptions of the ViewPager it worked like a charme:
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="#+id/pager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1">
<android.support.v4.view.PagerTabStrip
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="top"
android:paddingBottom="10dp"
android:paddingTop="10dp">
</android.support.v4.view.PagerTabStrip>
</android.support.v4.view.ViewPager>
Thanks everybody who has started analyzing already!

AdMob in a fragment
Using AdMob from within a Fragment?
Android Admob ad not shown in Activity with fragment. Why?
It is not clear what your question is, BUT
Yes, you can show AdView in a Fragment
yes, your config looks approximately correct.
You have marked your WebView as android:layout_height="fill_parent" so it will grab all the screen height giving none to your AdView. If you want I to expand to fill unused space then your will need to use a containing LinearLayout and use layout_weight="1" in order to indicate it should expand.

Android Fragment Duplication: Can't replace the fragment added statically

Hi i am very new in Android. I try to replace a fragment added statically in the layout file. But, if I instantiated my Fragment within my xml layout then the contents would remain visible after replacing it with another Fragment at runtime.
Here is my Activity Code:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.Fragment;
import android.app.FragmentManager;
import android.app.FragmentTransaction;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
public class RetailerActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_retailer);
}
public void selectFrag(View view) {
Fragment fr;
if (view == findViewById(R.id.button2)) {
fr = new FragmentTwo();
} else if (view == findViewById(R.id.button3)) {
fr = new FragmentThree();
} else {
fr = new FragmentOne();
}
FragmentManager fm = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fm.beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.fragment_container, fr);
fragmentTransaction.commit();
}
}
Here is my Activity XML file:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="selectFrag"

#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_one, container, false);
}
}

</LinearLayout>
FragmentTwo java code:
import android.app.Fragment;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
public class FragmentTwo extends Fragment {
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_two, container, false);
}
}
Thanks in advance.
I've looked into this problem too and I can't seem to find a solution for placing a fragment statically in the XML file. In your Activity XML file, you'll have to replace the Fragment portion with a FrameLayout (The id can stay the same, just replace 'Fragment' with 'FrameLayout'); only way to make your selectFrag method with FragmentTransaction replace the fragments without overlap.
(If you want to have a default fragment shown when the activity starts, duplicate the FragmentTransaction code in the onCreate method of the Activity and swap the blank FrameLayout view with either fragment)

Android App Crashes on FragmentTransaction.replace

I'm attempting to create a dynamic UI using the support.v4 library to insert fragments into a framelayout I have defined for my main activity.
Here is my activity_main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:baselineAligned="false" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_report"
android:text="#string/button_report"
android:textSize="22sp"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_pay"
android:text="#string/button_pay"
android:textSize="22sp"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_contact"
android:text="#string/button_contact"
android:textSize="22sp"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" />
</LinearLayout>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/container"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="2" />
</LinearLayout>
And here is the MainActivity.java:
package com.example.Test;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity
{
// Declare button variables
protected Button btnReport;
protected Button btnPay;
protected Button btnContact;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Assign buttons
btnReport = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button_report);
btnPay = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button_pay);
btnContact = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button_contact);
// Import fragments
final Fragment fragmentPhone = new FragmentPhone();
final Fragment fragmentReport = new FragmentReport();
final Fragment fragmentPay = new FragmentPay();
final android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
final FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
// Check for existing fragment, if none then add FragmentPhone.class
if (savedInstanceState != null) return;
else {
ft.add(R.id.container, fragmentPhone);
ft.commit();
}
// "Report" button
btnReport.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
ft.replace(R.id.container, fragmentReport); //Replace the details_container
ft.addToBackStack(null); // Add transaction to back stack
ft.commit(); // Commit the transaction
}
});
// "Pay" button
btnPay.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
ft.replace(R.id.container, fragmentPay);
ft.addToBackStack(null);
ft.commit();
}
});
// "Contact" button
btnContact.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
ft.replace(R.id.container, fragmentPhone);
ft.addToBackStack(null);
ft.commit();
}
});
}
}
And here is my FragmentPhone class:
package com.example.Test;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
public class FragmentPhone extends Fragment {
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_phone, container, false);
}
}
When I launch the app, the xml loads correctly and the framelayout gets filled with fragmentPhone, but pressing any of the buttons creates an "app has stopped unexpectedly" dialogue and prompts me to force close.
Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I ended up re-getting and re-declaring FragmentManager and FragmentTransaction within each onClickListener. I also removed "addToBackStack" as I decided it was unneeded. Here is my current, working code:
// "Report" button
btnReport.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager fragmentManager1 = getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction1 = fragmentManager1.beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction1.replace(R.id.container, fragmentReport);
fragmentTransaction1.commit();
}
});
(untested)
make ft a global field so it's available in the click handler.

Show/Hide Fragments and change the visibility attribute programmatically

This is a 2 part problem. What I'm having is a 3 Fragment layout where the 3'rd Fragment(FragmentC) is added dynamically when the user taps a button found in another fragment. Then, after it's added the 3'rd Fragment has a button to maximize/minimize it.
UPDATE: Scrool at the end for SOLUTION
PROBLEM 1:
I'm trying to change the visibility attribute of a FrameLayout that acts as a container for the 3'rd fragment(R.id.fragment_C).
What the code is supposed to do is to generate another fragment that, originally has an XML containing android:visibility = "gone". Then, the Fragment is added when tapping a button and the visibility is suppose to change to VISIBLE.
I know this has been covered before, but after 4 hours of trying to make it work I decided to ask what I'm doing wrong.
PROBLEM 2:
After the 3'rd fragment is generated I have a minimize/maximize button that's supposed to hide the first 2 Fragments and allow the 3'rd Fragment to fill the screen.
The problem is the Views of the first 2 Fragments are not removed when using .setVisibility(View.GONE). This has been covered before as well, but I can't figure out why it doesn't work in my code.
The code so far(sorry if it's to verbose but I thought it's better to include all details for you folks):

Found the problem and a solution thanks to Moesio
PROBLEM:
My error was that I was trying to find a view (in FragmentB.java) with
final FrameLayout frameLayout = (FrameLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.fragment_C);
This line was returning null so when the code reached the point where it was supposed to do a .setVisibility() then the app. would return a nullPointerException.
The same happened for FragmentC.java (so my 2 problems were related). The Views were not removed because my findViewById was null!
SOLUTION:
Just search for your View with getActivity.findViewById(R.id.your_view);
In FragmentB you're trying get a view which is not on your contentView
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_b, container, false);
// this is in fragment_b layout
ListView listView = (ListView) view.findViewById(R.id.listView1);
Button button = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.button);
/* ... */
// ****************************************
// this is NOT in fragment_b layout, which causes null
// ****************************************
final FrameLayout frameLayout = (FrameLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.fragment_C);
/* ... */
}
Try:
final FrameLayout frameLayout = (FrameLayout) getActivity().getWindow().findViewById(R.id.fragment_C);
Whereas R.id.fragment_C is inflated and setted on MainActivity.
Moreover, I had the same problem until use an extra flag
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
final Fragment fragmentC = new FragmentC();
fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.fragment_C, fragmentC);
fragmentTransaction.commit();
menuIsOn = false;
final View fragmentCView = findViewById(R.id.fragment_C);
final Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn);
btnPowers.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (!menuIsOn) {
fragmentCView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
} else {
fragmentCView.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
}
menuIsOn = !menuIsOn;
}
});
Create the Instances of fragments and add instead of replace
FragA fa= new FragA();
FragB fb= new FragB();
FragC fc= new FragB();
fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.fragmnt_container, fa);
fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.fragmnt_container, fb);
fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.fragmnt_container, fc);
fragmentTransaction.show(fa);
fragmentTransaction.hide(fb);
fragmentTransaction.hide(fc);
fragmentTransaction.commit();
suppose we want to to hide and show different fragments based on our action
fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.hide(fa);
fragmentTransaction.show(fb);
fragmentTransaction.hide(fc);
fragmentTransaction.commit();
