Button inside fragment overlap with next fragment's button

The signup page of my app is divided into three fragments. FragmentA, FragmentB and FragmentC which is attached to same activity. On clicking the next button which is present in FragmentA it will call FragmentB and same is for FragmentB and FragmentC. As I move forward the buttons of the previous fragment overlaps the current one. Below is my code. How can I avoid this situation?
MainActivity.class
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(#Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.signup_page);
init();
}
private void init() {
ViewPager2 viewPager = findViewById(R.id.signup_pager);
List<Fragment> fragmentList = new ArrayList<Fragment>();
FragmentA aFragment = new FragmentA();
FragmentB bFragment = new FragmentB();
fragmentList.add(aFragment);
fragmentList.add(bFragment);
SignupFragmentPagerAdapter signupFragmentPagerAdapter = new SignupFragmentPagerAdapter(this,fragmentList);
viewPager.setUserInputEnabled(false);
viewPager.setAdapter(signupFragmentPagerAdapter);
}
}
FragmentA.class
public class FragmentA extends Fragment {
EditText et_name;
Spinner sp_user_type;
Button bt_next;
#Nullable
#Override
public View onCreateView(#NonNull LayoutInflater inflater, #Nullable ViewGroup container, #Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fraga,container,false);
et_name = view.findViewById(R.id.editTextTextPersonName);
sp_user_type = view.findViewById(R.id.user_spinner);
bt_next = view.findViewById(R.id.button8);
bt_next.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
FragmentB bFragment = new FragmentB();
FragmentManager manager = getParentFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction transaction = manager.beginTransaction();
transaction.replace(R.id.frag_a, bFragment);
transaction.addToBackStack(null);
transaction.commit();
}
});
return view;
}
}
FragmentB.class
public class FragmentB extends Fragment {
Button bt_next;
#Nullable
#Override
public View onCreateView(#NonNull LayoutInflater inflater, #Nullable ViewGroup container, #Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragb,container,false);
bt_next = view.findViewById(R.id.button9);
bt_next.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
FragmentC cFragment = new FragmentC();
FragmentManager manager = getParentFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction transaction = manager.beginTransaction();
transaction.replace(R.id.frag_b, Fragment);
transaction.addToBackStack(null);
transaction.commit();
}
});
return view;
}
}

Cause of your problem:
You are making fragment transaction (from A to B) within Fragment A itself; and not through the placeholder of these fragments (which is in your case the ViewPager itself; So the MainActivity still sees that the ViewPager is at the first page and therefore shows Fragment A in the background.
You have two options to solve this:
First: Since you're disable page scrolling; I don't see any use to
the ViewPager .. so you can just have a fragment placeholder in the
main activity, and make fragment transaction on this placeholder.
Second: if you have a need to the ViewPager, instead of making
fragment transaction, you can use
viewPager.setCurrentItem(position) and set the position to the
target fragment according to the order you add them in the adapter.
You can do that from your fragment when you hit the button using:
((MainActivity)requireActivity()).myViewPager.setCurrentItem(position)

how can i access the button id in activity from fragment

How to access button id in an activity.
Activity
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.fragment_meter);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23) {
checkLocationPermission();
}
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
Fragment map = new Map();
fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.fragment_container, map);
fragmentTransaction.commit();
...
}
Fragment
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
if (view == null) {
view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_map, container, false);
Button button = (Button)getActivity().findViewById(R.id.btnStop);
}
How to implement setOnClickListener method of btnStop in my code fragment?

add this to fragment:
final View.OnClickListener btnClick = new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v){
//button clicked
}
}
add this to activity onCreate:
Button button = (Button)getActivity().findViewById(R.id.btnStop);
button.setOnClickListener(map.btnClick );
another way:
add this to fragment:
Button btnStop;
add this to onCreate of Activity:
map.btnStop = (Button)getActivity().findViewById(R.id.btnStop);
Then in any event listener of fragment that is called after onCreate of Activity (for example onActivityCreated and onStart) you have access to the btnStop and you can set onClick listener for it.

You can create a method in the activity, probably like
public void yourMethod() {
button.performClick();// you can access all the components present in your activity
}
Now create an instance of the activity in the fragment and access this method.
YourActivity activityInstance = (YourActivity) getActivity();
And then you can access the method using the isntance of the activity like
activityInstance.yourMethod();
Whenever you want to perform a click function, you just have to call the funciton.

Unable to set text in fragment

I am trying to call a function from my mainActivity to change a TextView in one of my fragments. I have read a couple posts on the best way of doing it but for some reason, none of them seem to work for me. I know the function is working because once a press the button the toast comes up but for some reason the text won't change. I was wondering what the issue could be, or if I am just missing an additional step.
here is the method being called in my mainActivity
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements Tab1Fragment.OnCalcClickListener{
private static final String TAG = "MainActivity";
private SectionsPageAdapter mSectionsPageAdpater;
private ViewPager mViewPager;
Tab1Fragment tab1Fragment = new Tab1Fragment();
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Log.d(TAG, "onCreate: Starting");
//initializing FragmentManager so the fragments can communicate
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.container, tab1Fragment);
fragmentTransaction.commit();
//declare sections page adapter
mSectionsPageAdpater = new SectionsPageAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
//Set up the view pager with the sections adapter
mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.container);
setUpViewPager(mViewPager);
//create a tab layout object and set it's id to tabs (mainActivity.xml)
TabLayout tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tabs);
tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(mViewPager);
//
}
// create a sections page view adapter
private void setUpViewPager(ViewPager viewPager){
SectionsPageAdapter adapter = new SectionsPageAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
adapter.addFragment(new Tab1Fragment(), "Day");
adapter.addFragment(new Tab2Fragment(), "Info");
adapter.addFragment(new Tab3Fragment(), "Week");
viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
}
//initialise calculator object
Calculator mainCalculator = new Calculator();
#Override
public void calculateClick(int to_calculate) {
switch (to_calculate){
case 1:
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),"working", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
mainCalculator.freqDay = mainCalculator.freqDay + 1;
mainCalculator.freqWeek = mainCalculator.freqWeek + 1;
mainCalculator.getTotalDay();
tab1Fragment.updateInfo();
break;
}
}
Here is the code for my fragment
public class Tab1Fragment extends Fragment implements
View.OnClickListener{
private static final String TAG = "Tab1Fragment";
//Establishing the buttons & Methods
Button btn1;
Button btn2;
TextView dayView;
OnCalcClickListener onCalcClickListener;
#Nullable
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, #Nullable ViewGroup container, #Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.tab1_fragment, container, false);
//Connecting the buttons to the xml
btn1 = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.btn_1);
btn1.setOnClickListener(this);
btn2 = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.btn_2);
btn2.setOnClickListener(this);
dayView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.total_Sales_Day);
return view;
}
//Onclick listener for buttons
public void setOnClickListener(View.OnClickListener listener) {
btn1.setOnClickListener(listener);
btn2.setOnClickListener(listener);
}
//method that will bring data back from activity and set the text
public void updateInfo(){
Toast.makeText(getContext(),"65", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
dayView.setText("test");
}

To make calls to methods from your fragment in the activity class you need something like this:
public static class MainActivity extends Activity
implements HeadlinesFragment.OnHeadlineSelectedListener{
...
public void onArticleSelected(int position) {
// The user selected the headline of an article from the HeadlinesFragment
// Do something here to display that article
ArticleFragment articleFrag = (ArticleFragment)
getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.article_fragment);
if (articleFrag != null) {
// If article frag is available, we're in two-pane layout...
// Call a method in the ArticleFragment to update its content
articleFrag.updateArticleView(position);
} else {
// Otherwise, we're in the one-pane layout and must swap frags...
// Create fragment and give it an argument for the selected article
ArticleFragment newFragment = new ArticleFragment();
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putInt(ArticleFragment.ARG_POSITION, position);
newFragment.setArguments(args);
FragmentTransaction transaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
// Replace whatever is in the fragment_container view with this fragment,
// and add the transaction to the back stack so the user can navigate back
transaction.replace(R.id.fragment_container, newFragment);
transaction.addToBackStack(null);
// Commit the transaction
transaction.commit();
}
}
}
Here the activity is calling the updateArticleView method from the fragment, instead of your updateInfo method, but you will get the idea.
Also pay attention to the one-pane scenario, where you need to swap the content and push the arguments using a Bundle object.
See Deliver a Message to a Fragment for more details.

When you add the fragment set a tag to it like this:
MyFragment frag = new MyFragment();
frag.setArguments(getIntent().getExtras());
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(R.id.fragment_container, frag, "TAG").commit();
While updating the textview get the instance of fragment using findFragmentByTag()
MyFragment fragment = (MyFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("TAG");
fragment.updateInfo();

Android Fragment Back press

I have a couple of fragments. But all the fragments lead to PeriodFragment when they press a button. My question is how do I implement so that when the user presses the BACK button on his mobile phone, the PeriodFragment will switch back to the fragment it was entered from.
This is the java code from PeriodFragment.java:
public class PeriodFragment extends Fragment {
Button btnPretrazi;
public PeriodFragment() {
// Required empty public constructor
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_period, container, false);
//buttonPretraziPeriod
btnPretrazi = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.buttonPretraziPeriod);
btnPretrazi.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Toast.makeText(getContext(),"test", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
return view;
}
}
This is my TvrdjavaFragment.java (one of the fragments that have the button to switch to PeriodFragment.java) :
package com.example.ivanp.msnis;
public class TvrdjavaFragment extends Fragment {
Button btnIdinaperiod;
public TvrdjavaFragment() {
// Required empty public constructor
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_tvrdjava, container, false);
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
//show date
TextView datumprikaz = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.datumprikaz);
Date danas = new Date();
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy");
String novDatum = sdf.format(danas);
datumprikaz.setText(novDatum);
//End of show date
btnIdinaperiod = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.buttonIdinaperiod);
btnIdinaperiod.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
PeriodFragment periodFragment = new PeriodFragment();
FragmentTransaction periodFragmentTransaction = getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
periodFragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.frame, periodFragment);
periodFragmentTransaction.commit();
}
});
return view;
}
}
I'm new to android studio, so please tell the details.

According to android docs When using fragments in your app, individual FragmentTransaction objects may represent context changes that should be added to the back stack. For example, if you are implementing a master/detail flow on a handset by swapping out fragments, you should ensure that pressing the Back button on a detail screen returns the user to the master screen. To do so, call addToBackStack() before you commit the transaction:
// Works with either the framework FragmentManager or the
// support package FragmentManager (getSupportFragmentManager).
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(detailFragment, "detail")
// Add this transaction to the back stack
.addToBackStack()
.commit();

Adding to backstack will solve the problem:
periodFragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.frame, periodFragment);
periodFragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
periodFragmentTransaction.commit();

Removing a fragment not working

I want to remove a fragment and show a toast when I click a textView. My code shows the toast, but doesn't remove the fragment.
My method:
public void hide(View view) {
My_frag myFrag= new My_frag();
FragmentTransaction transaction = getSupportFragmentManager()
.beginTransaction();
transaction.remove(myFrag);
transaction.commit();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Hello", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
.show();
}
My_frag class:
public class My_frag extends android.support.v4.app.Fragment {
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.my_frag_layout, container, false);
}
}

At some point you must create and add the Fragment correct? You are re-creating the fragment in your hide(...) method so you are trying to remove something that has never been added. Sure you may have added an instance, but not the instance you are trying to remove.
Instead, create a global variable Fragment fragToRemove in your Activity. When you create the fragment (that is where ever you do transaction.add(fragToRemove = new My_Frag);) you will hold an instance. then change your transaction.remove(myFrag) to transaction.remove(fragToRemove) and it should work just fine.

Take the instance of Fragment Transaction other than that was taken while adding fragment to activity and call remove method on that and pass the same instance of Fragment which was used at the time.
Example:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction;
BlankFragment blankFragment;
Button b;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
b = (Button) findViewById(R.id.activity_button);
fragmentTransaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
blankFragment=new BlankFragment(); //Fragment instance
fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.main_layout,blankFragment).commit();
b.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.remove(blankFragment).commit(); //created different
}
});
}
In the same way you can do in fragments also and can also remove fragment X on the click of component of fragment X.
