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

this is a little late response. if you're using view pager for fragments, set the off screen page limit of the fragment to the number of fragments created.

mViewPager.setOffscreenPageLimit(3); // number of fragments here is 3
