Answer 1

if you are using fragment in a fragment then use getChildFragmentManager()

getChildFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.fragment_name, fragment).addToBackStack(null).commit();

if you are using child fragment and replace it use getParentFragmentManager()

getParentFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.fragment_name, fragment).addToBackStack(null).commit();

if both are not working for you try this getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager()

getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.fragment_name, fragment).addToBackStack(null).commit();
