How can I switch between two fragments, without recreating the fragments each time?

Question

I\'m working on an android application, that uses a navigation drawer to switch between two fragments. However, each time I switch, the fragment is completely recreated.

Answer 1

I did this before like this:

        if (mPrevFrag != fragment) {

            // Change
            FragmentTransaction ft = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
            if (mPrevFrag != null){
                ft.hide(mPrevFrag);
            }
            ft.show(fragment);
            ft.commit();
            mPrevFrag = fragment;

        }

(you will need to track your pervious fragment in this solution)
