Double fragment rotating Android with ActionBar

Question

I\'ve made a simple Android Activity with an ActionBar to switch between 2 fragments. It\'s all ok until I rotate the device. In facts, when I rotate I\'ve got 2 fragment on

Answer 1

Thanks Martin and asclepix for theirs solutions. I have 3 tabs and first tab contains 2 fragments, like this:

Using onRestoreInstanceState, onSaveInstanceState and savedInstanceState.remove("android:support:fragments"); methods and statement working almost fine except if your active tab is not the first one and rotate and click on first, a clear display appears and only for the second click on the first tab came the right fragment display. After debugging code I recognized that the first addTab always calls an onTabSelected event in the tab listener, with a fragment add method and then when the setSelectedNavigationItem is called from onRestoreInstanceState a detach is executed on the first tab and an add for other one. This unecessary add calling is fixed in my solution.

My activity

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    boolean firstTabIsNotAdded = false;
    if (savedInstanceState != null) {
        savedInstanceState.remove("android:support:fragments");
        firstTabIsNotAdded = savedInstanceState.getInt(SELETED_TAB_INDEX) != 0;
    }
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

// codes before adding tabs

    actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
    actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);


    tabStartAndStop = actionBar.newTab().setText(getString(R.string.tab_title_start_and_stop))
            .setTabListener(
                    new FragmentTabListener(this, 
                            getString(R.string.tab_title_start_and_stop_id), 
                            StartStopFragment.class,
                            firstTabIsNotAdded));
    tabHistory = actionBar.newTab().setText(getString(R.string.tab_title_history))
            .setTabListener(
                    new FragmentTabListener(this, 
                            getString(R.string.tab_title_history_id), 
                            HistoryFragment.class,
                            false));
    tabRiporting = actionBar.newTab().setText(getString(R.string.tab_title_reporting))
            .setTabListener(
                    new FragmentTabListener(this, 
                            getString(R.string.tab_title_reporting_id), 
                            ReportingFragment.class,
                            false));

    actionBar.addTab(tabStartAndStop);

        actionBar.addTab(tabHistory);
        actionBar.addTab(tabRiporting);

    }

    @Override
    protected void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        if (savedInstanceState != null) {
            int index = savedInstanceState.getInt(SELETED_TAB_INDEX);
            actionBar.setSelectedNavigationItem(index);
        }
        super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
        super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
        // Save the index of the currently selected tab
        outState.putInt(SELETED_TAB_INDEX, getSupportActionBar().getSelectedTab().getPosition());
    }

And the modified tab listener

public class FragmentTabListener implements com.actionbarsherlock.app.ActionBar.TabListener {
    private Fragment mFragment;
    private final Activity mFragmentActivity;
    private final String mTag;
    private final Class mClass;
    private boolean doNotAdd;

    /** Constructor used each time a new tab is created.
      * @param activity  The host Activity, used to instantiate the fragment
      * @param tag  The identifier tag for the fragment
      * @param clz  The fragment's Class, used to instantiate the fragment
      */
    public FragmentTabListener(Activity activity, String tag, Class clz, boolean doNotAdd) {
        mFragmentActivity = activity;
        mTag = tag;
        mClass = clz;
        this.doNotAdd = doNotAdd;
    }

    /* The following are each of the ActionBar.TabListener callbacks */
    public void onTabSelected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {

        // Check if the fragment is already initialized
        if (mFragment == null) {
            // If not, instantiate and add it to the activity
            if(doNotAdd){
                doNotAdd = false;
            }else{
                mFragment = Fragment.instantiate(mFragmentActivity, mClass.getName());
                ft.add(android.R.id.content, mFragment, mTag);
            }
        } else {
            // If it exists, simply attach it in order to show it
            ft.attach(mFragment);
        }
    }

    public void onTabUnselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
        if (mFragment != null) {
            // Detach the fragment, because another one is being attached
            ft.detach(mFragment);
        }
    }

    public void onTabReselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
        // User selected the already selected tab. Usually do nothing.
    }
}
