When referencing back to a created Fragment please do make sure to try adding the

fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null); 

method right before committing so that your Fragment is resumed instead of destroyed as mentioned in the developer guides.

If you don't call addToBackStack() when you perform a transaction that removes a fragment, then that fragment is destroyed when the transaction is committed and the user cannot navigate back to it. Whereas, if you do call addToBackStack() when removing a fragment, then the fragment is stopped and is later resumed if the user navigates back.
