Fragment Precise Tutorial

URL : http://abhiandroid.com/ui/fragment-lifecycle-example-android-studio.html

Fragment means isolated or incomplete part of something.

Android introduced fragments in Android 3.0 (API level 11), primarily to support more dynamic and flexible UI designs on large screens

Some of feature are - 

• Modularity: Dividing complex activity code across fragments for better organization and maintenance.
• Reusability: Placing behavior or UI parts into fragments that can be shared across multiple activities.
• Adaptability: Representing sections of a UI as different fragments and utilizing different layouts depending on screen orientation and size.

Method of Fragment

1. onAttach()

2. onCreate()

3. onCreateView()

4. onViewCreated()

5. onActivityCreated()

6. onStart()

7. onResume()

10. onDestroyView()

11. onDestroy()

12. onDetach()

-> LifeCycle method of Fragment

1. First Activity onCreate() event

2. first Fragment onAttach() event

3. First Activity onAttachFragment() event

4. first Fragment onCreate() event

5. first Fragment onCreateView() event

6. first Fragment onViewCreated() event

7. first Fragment onActivityCreated() event

8. first Fragment onStart() event

9. First Activity onStart() event

11. First Activity onResume() event

12. first Fragment onResume() event

13. First Activity onPostResume() event

Case 2 : When one fragment replace another fragment.

13. Second Fragment onResume() event

Case 3 : Remove fragment.

Fragment onPause() event

-> Fragment Transaction

STATIC

Case 1 : Add static fragment

<fragment

 android:name="slider.app.com.appsfortest.FirstFragment"

 android:id="@+id/idFirstFragment"

 android:layout_width="match_parent"

 android:layout_height="300dp"/>

DYNAMIC

Case 1 : Adding Fragment

FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();

FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();

fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.idContainer, firstFragment);

fragmentTransaction.commit();

ShortCut

getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(R.id.idContainer, firstFragment).commit();

Case 2 : Replacing Fragment

FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();

FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();

fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.idContainer, secondFragment);

fragmentTransaction.commit();

ShortCut

getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.idContainer, secondFragment).commit();

Case 3 : Remove Fragment

FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();

FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();

fragmentTransaction.remove(secondFragment);

fragmentTransaction.commit();

ShortCut

getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().remove(secondFragment).commit();

-> Fragment to AddToBackStack() method

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

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

Case 1 : null parameter

FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();

FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();

fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.idContainer, new FirstFragment());

fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);

fragmentTransaction.commit();

Case 2 : With parameter and tag

FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();

FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();

fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.idContainer, new FirstFragment(), "FirstFragment");

fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack("TAG");

fragmentTransaction.commit();

-> Find Fragment By Tag

Fragment fragment = fragmentManager.findFragmentByTag("firstFragment");

-> PopStack/Remove Fragment By Tag

fragmentManager.popBackStack("firstFragment",FragmentManager.POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE);

-> Hide 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.

FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();

FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();

fragmentTransaction.hide(secondFragment);

fragmentTransaction.commit();

-> Show 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.

FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();

FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();

fragmentTransaction.show(secondFragment);

fragmentTransaction.commit();

-> 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.

 FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();

 FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction =   fragmentManager.beginTransaction();

 fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.idContainer, new FirstFragment());

 fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);

 Log.d(tag, "isAddToBackStackAllowed : "+fragmentTransaction.isAddToBackStackAllowed());

 fragmentTransaction.commit();

-> isEmpty

true if this transaction contains no operations, false otherwise.

 FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();

 FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction =   fragmentManager.beginTransaction();

 fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.idContainer, new FirstFragment());

 fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);

 Log.d(tag, "isAddToBackStackAllowed : "+fragmentTransaction.isEmpty());

 fragmentTransaction.commit();

-> setReorderingAllowed(boolean).

FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();

FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();

fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.idContainer, new FirstFragment());

fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);

fragmentTransaction.setReorderingAllowed(true);

fragmentTransaction.commit();
