OnBackPressedCallback

Here is the code which you can write in your Fragment class to customize the back button press.

public class MyFragment extends Fragment{

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        OnBackPressedCallback callback = new OnBackPressedCallback(true /* enabled by default */) {
            @Override
            public void handleOnBackPressed() {
                // Handle the back button even
                Log.d("BACKBUTTON", "Back button clicks");
            }
        };

        requireActivity().getOnBackPressedDispatcher().addCallback(this, callback);

     }

}
