Separate Back Stack for each tab in Android using Fragments

Question

I\'m trying to implement tabs for navigation in an Android app. Since TabActivity and ActivityGroup are deprecated I would like to implement it using Fragments instead.

Answer 1

A simple solution:

Every time you change tab/root view call:

fragmentManager.popBackStack(null, FragmentManager.POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE);

It will clear the BackStack. Remember to call this before you change the root fragment.

And add fragments with this:

FragmentTransaction transaction = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
NewsDetailsFragment newsDetailsFragment = NewsDetailsFragment.newInstance(newsId);
transaction.add(R.id.content_frame, newsDetailsFragment).addToBackStack(null).commit();

Note the .addToBackStack(null) and the transaction.add could e.g. be changed with transaction.replace.
