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

You can do it very easily also with a URL in logcat which will redirect you to the source code of current fragment source code. First, you need to add an OnBackStackChangedListener in host activity like -

activity.getChildFragmentManager().addOnBackStackChangedListener(backStackListener);

And the OnBackStackChangedListener implementation is -

    public FragmentManager.OnBackStackChangedListener backStackListener = () -> {

    String simpleName = "";
    String stackName = getStackTopName().trim();

    if (Validator.isValid(stackName) && stackName.length() > 0) {

      simpleName = stackName.substring(Objects.requireNonNull(stackName).lastIndexOf('.') + 1).trim();

      List
       fragmentList = getChildFragmentManager().getFragments();
      Fragment myCurrentFragment;

      for (int i = 0; i < fragmentList.size(); i++) {
       myCurrentFragment= fragmentList.get(i);
       if (myCurrentFragment.getClass().getSimpleName().equals(simpleName)) {
        //Now you get the current displaying fragment assigned in myCurrentFragment.
        break;
       }
       myFragment = null;
      }
     }


     //The code below is for the source code redirectable logcat which would be optional for you.
     StackTraceElement stackTraceElement = new StackTraceElement(simpleName, "", simpleName + ".java", 50);
     String fileName = stackTraceElement.getFileName();
     if (fileName == null) fileName = "";
     final String info = "Current Fragment is:" + "(" + fileName + ":" +
     stackTraceElement.getLineNumber() + ")";
     Log.d("now", info + "\n\n");
    };

And the getStackTopName() method is -

public String getStackTopName() {
    FragmentManager.BackStackEntry backEntry = null;
    FragmentManager fragmentManager = getChildFragmentManager();
    if (fragmentManager != null) {
        if (getChildFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() > 0)
            backEntry = getChildFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryAt(
                    getChildFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() - 1
            );
    }
    return backEntry != null ? backEntry.getName() : null;
}
