How do I get the currently displayed fragment?

Question

I am playing with fragments in Android.

I know I can change a fragment by using the following code:

FragmentManager fragMgr = getSupportFragmentManag         


        

Answer 1

There's a method called findFragmentById() in SupportFragmentManager. I use it in the activity container like :

public Fragment currentFragment(){
    return getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.activity_newsfeed_frame);
}

That's how to get your current Fragment. If you have custom Fragment and need to check what Fragment it is, I normally use instanceof :

if (currentFragment() instanceof MyFrag){
    // Do something here
}
