Class Overview

Static library support version of the framework's FragmentTransaction . Used to write apps that run on platforms prior to Android 3.0. When running on Android 3.0 or above, this implementation is still used; it does not try to switch to the framework's implementation. See the framework SDK documentation for a class overview.

Public Methods

public abstract FragmentTransaction add ( Fragment fragment, String tag)

Calls add(int, Fragment, String) with a 0 containerViewId.

public abstract FragmentTransaction add (int containerViewId, Fragment fragment)

Calls add(int, Fragment, String) with a null tag.

public abstract FragmentTransaction add (int containerViewId, Fragment fragment, String tag)

Add a fragment to the activity state. This fragment may optionally also have its view (if Fragment.onCreateView returns non-null) into a container view of the activity.

Parameters
containerViewId Optional identifier of the container this fragment is to be placed in. If 0, it will not be placed in a container.
fragment The fragment to be added. This fragment must not already be added to the activity.
tag Optional tag name for the fragment, to later retrieve the fragment with FragmentManager.findFragmentByTag(String) .
Returns
  • Returns the same FragmentTransaction instance.

public abstract FragmentTransaction addToBackStack ( String name)

Add this transaction to the back stack. This means that the transaction will be remembered after it is committed, and will reverse its operation when later popped off the stack.

Parameters
name An optional name for this back stack state, or null.

public abstract FragmentTransaction attach ( Fragment fragment)

Re-attach a fragment after it had previously been deatched from the UI with detach(Fragment) . This causes its view hierarchy to be re-created, attached to the UI, and displayed.

Parameters
fragment The fragment to be attached.
Returns
  • Returns the same FragmentTransaction instance.

public abstract int commit ()

Schedules a commit of this transaction. The commit does not happen immediately; it will be scheduled as work on the main thread to be done the next time that thread is ready.

A transaction can only be committed with this method prior to its containing activity saving its state. If the commit is attempted after that point, an exception will be thrown. This is because the state after the commit can be lost if the activity needs to be restored from its state. See commitAllowingStateLoss() for situations where it may be okay to lose the commit.

Returns
  • Returns the identifier of this transaction's back stack entry, if addToBackStack(String) had been called. Otherwise, returns a negative number.

public abstract int commitAllowingStateLoss ()

Like commit() but allows the commit to be executed after an activity's state is saved. This is dangerous because the commit can be lost if the activity needs to later be restored from its state, so this should only be used for cases where it is okay for the UI state to change unexpectedly on the user.

public abstract FragmentTransaction detach ( Fragment fragment)

Detach the given fragment from the UI. This is the same state as when it is put on the back stack: the fragment is removed from the UI, however its state is still being actively managed by the fragment manager. When going into this state its view hierarchy is destroyed.

Parameters
fragment The fragment to be detached.
Returns
  • Returns the same FragmentTransaction instance.

public abstract FragmentTransaction disallowAddToBackStack ()

Disallow calls to addToBackStack(String) . Any future calls to addToBackStack will throw IllegalStateException . If addToBackStack has already been called, this method will throw IllegalStateException.

public abstract FragmentTransaction hide ( Fragment fragment)

Hides an existing fragment. This is only relevant for fragments whose views have been added to a container, as this will cause the view to be hidden.

Parameters
fragment The fragment to be hidden.
Returns
  • Returns the same FragmentTransaction instance.

public abstract boolean isAddToBackStackAllowed ()

Returns true if this FragmentTransaction is allowed to be added to the back stack. If this method would return false, addToBackStack(String) will throw IllegalStateException .

Returns

public abstract boolean isEmpty ()

Returns
  • true if this transaction contains no operations, false otherwise.

public abstract FragmentTransaction remove ( Fragment fragment)

Remove an existing fragment. If it was added to a container, its view is also removed from that container.

Parameters
fragment The fragment to be removed.
Returns
  • Returns the same FragmentTransaction instance.

public abstract FragmentTransaction replace (int containerViewId, Fragment fragment, String tag)

Replace an existing fragment that was added to a container. This is essentially the same as calling remove(Fragment) for all currently added fragments that were added with the same containerViewId and then add(int, Fragment, String) with the same arguments given here.

Parameters
containerViewId Identifier of the container whose fragment(s) are to be replaced.
fragment The new fragment to place in the container.
tag Optional tag name for the fragment, to later retrieve the fragment with FragmentManager.findFragmentByTag(String) .
Returns
  • Returns the same FragmentTransaction instance.

public abstract FragmentTransaction replace (int containerViewId, Fragment fragment)

Calls replace(int, Fragment, String) with a null tag.

public abstract FragmentTransaction setBreadCrumbShortTitle (int res)

Set the short title to show as a bread crumb when this transaction is on the back stack.

Parameters
res A string resource containing the title.

public abstract FragmentTransaction setBreadCrumbShortTitle ( CharSequence text)

Like setBreadCrumbShortTitle(int) but taking a raw string; this method is not recommended, as the string can not be changed later if the locale changes.

public abstract FragmentTransaction setBreadCrumbTitle ( CharSequence text)

Like setBreadCrumbTitle(int) but taking a raw string; this method is not recommended, as the string can not be changed later if the locale changes.

public abstract FragmentTransaction setBreadCrumbTitle (int res)

Set the full title to show as a bread crumb when this transaction is on the back stack.

Parameters
res A string resource containing the title.

public abstract FragmentTransaction setCustomAnimations (int enter, int exit, int popEnter, int popExit)

Set specific animation resources to run for the fragments that are entering and exiting in this transaction. The popEnter and popExit animations will be played for enter/exit operations specifically when popping the back stack.

public abstract FragmentTransaction setCustomAnimations (int enter, int exit)

Set specific animation resources to run for the fragments that are entering and exiting in this transaction. These animations will not be played when popping the back stack.

public abstract FragmentTransaction setTransition (int transit)

Select a standard transition animation for this transaction. May be one of TRANSIT_NONE , TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_OPEN , or TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_CLOSE

public abstract FragmentTransaction setTransitionStyle (int styleRes)

Set a custom style resource that will be used for resolving transit animations.

public abstract FragmentTransaction show ( Fragment fragment)

Shows a previously hidden fragment. This is only relevant for fragments whose views have been added to a container, as this will cause the view to be shown.

Parameters
fragment The fragment to be shown.
Returns
  • Returns the same FragmentTransaction instance.
