Android 4.2: back stack behaviour with nested fragments

Question

With Android 4.2, the support library got support for nested fragments see here. I\'ve played around with it and found an interesting behaviour / bug regarding back stack an

Answer 1

This code will navigate the tree of fragment managers and return the last one that was added that has any fragments it can pop off the stack:

private FragmentManager getLastFragmentManagerWithBack(FragmentManager fm)
{
  FragmentManager fmLast = fm;

  List fragments = fm.getFragments();

  for (Fragment f : fragments)
  {
    if ((f.getChildFragmentManager() != null) && (f.getChildFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() > 0))
    {
      fmLast = f.getFragmentManager();
      FragmentManager fmChild = getLastFragmentManagerWithBack(f.getChildFragmentManager());

      if (fmChild != fmLast)
        fmLast = fmChild;
    }
  }

  return fmLast;
}

Call the method:

@Override
public void onBackPressed()
{
  FragmentManager fm = getLastFragmentManagerWithBack(getSupportFragmentManager());

  if (fm.getBackStackEntryCount() > 0)
  {
    fm.popBackStack();
    return;
  }

  super.onBackPressed();
}
