Fragment isAdded() returns false on an already added Fragment

Question

I have this neat function:

private void addMapFragment(){
    if(!mapFragment.isAdded()){
        FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransact         


        

Answer 1

FragmentTransactions are committed asynchronously. Therefore, you need to call

getFragmentManager().executePendingTransactions();

before you call

Fragment.isAdded();

That way, you can make sure that everything is up to date.

Answer 2

Instead, check getSupportFragmentManager.findFragmentById() and see if you are getting the expected fragment back. If now you can add and commit.
