I have see this question asked here more than one time but I can\'t figure it out how to solve for my case.

I have an app that the user does this:

1 - Open t

Answer 1

I figure out what was my problem.

When I was doing:

case FRAGMENT_OPTION2:
    fragment = ControlPanelFragment.newInstance();
break;

I was creating a fragment and when I rotated the screen selectItem(int position) was again called so a new instance of the same object was created thus the steps 7 and following. The solution was to check if the fragment was already created and use him instead of creating a new one. I've saved the initial fragment with a tag and them looked for that tag. If the tag existed, use that fragment otherwise create a new one.

public void selectItem(int position) {
        Fragment fragment = null;
        switch (position) {
            case FRAGMENT_OPTION1:
                ...
                break;
            case FRAGMENT_OPTION2:
                fragment = getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(String.valueOf(position));
                if (fragment == null) {
                    fragment = ControlPanelFragment.newInstance();
                }
                break;
            ...
            case FRAGMENT_OPTIONN:
                ...
                return;
            default:
                break;
        }
        if (fragment != null) {
            FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
            fragmentManager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.fragment_container, fragment, 
                    String.valueOf(position)).commitAllowingStateLoss();
        }
}
