First fragment remains in the background after transition - java

I am currently trying to create an app having a splash screen, a login screen and a register screen.
The only way to achieve exactly what I need is through fragments. Though when I try to transition from the splash screen to the login fragment the text view which was part of the splash screen remains. The same happens after transitioning from the login fragment to the register fragment as well as from the register fragment back to the login fragment. It is important to note that there is no issue during transitioning between login and register or between register and login - except the fact that the edit text stays there.
My MainActivity.java
public class StartActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_start);
}
#Override
public void onBackPressed(){
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Back button is disabled", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
My layout for MainActivity
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".StartActivity"
android:background="#mipmap/background">
<fragment
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/viewpagerstart"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:name="com.example.distributedsystemsui.SplashFragment">
</fragment>
</RelativeLayout>
The SplashScreen.java
public class SplashFragment extends Fragment {
LinearLayout linearLayout;
#Nullable
#Override
public View onCreateView(#NonNull LayoutInflater inflater, #Nullable ViewGroup container, #Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_splash, container, false);
linearLayout = (LinearLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.f_linearsplash);
Animation animation_fadein = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation((StartActivity)getActivity(), R.anim.fade_in);
linearLayout.startAnimation(animation_fadein);
Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.setCustomAnimations(R.anim.slide_enter_left, R.anim.slide_exit_left,
R.anim.slide_enter_right, R.anim.slide_exit_right);
LoginFragment loginFragment = LoginFragment.newInstance();
ft.replace(R.id.viewpagerstart, loginFragment);
ft.commit();
}
}, 3000);
return view;
}
}
And the layout for the SplashScreen fragment.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".LoginFragment"
android:background="#color/Tranparent"
android:id="#+id/frame_splash">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/f_linearsplash"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/f_splashlogo"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_marginTop="70dp"
android:background="#FFFFFF"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/f_splashtext"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/app_name"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_marginTop="100dp"
android:background="#FFFFFF"/>
</LinearLayout>
</FrameLayout>
All my search led back to nothing.
I can only assume that either the below contained in the MainActivity.xml creates a confusion (which I tried to change but no luck):
android:name="com.example.distributedsystemsui.SplashFragment"
or that I am doing a mistake in the SplashScreen.java that I cannot locate, even though I tried for more than 5 hours to make it work.

The problem is that you cannot replace fragments added via the <fragment> tag.
Instead, you should either:
1) Switch to FragmentContainerView, which was added in Fragment 1.2.0. It does not suffer from the same issue as the <fragment> tag and lets you do replace operations without issues:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".StartActivity"
android:background="#mipmap/background">
<androidx.fragment.app.FragmentContainerView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/viewpagerstart"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:name="com.example.distributedsystemsui.SplashFragment">
</androidx.fragment.app.FragmentContainerView>
</RelativeLayout>
2) Use a FrameLayout in your layout and manually add the SplashFragment in your activity (this is essentially what FragmentContainerView does for you):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".StartActivity"
android:background="#mipmap/background">
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/viewpagerstart"
android:layout_centerInParent="true">
</FrameLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
which means you need to add the SplashFragment manually:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_start);
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.viewpagerstart, new SplashFragment())
.commit()
}
}

I think it is better to do the fragment transactions from your activity instead of doing it from your fragment. You might consider having functions in your MainActivity as follows.
public class StartActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_start);
}
public void goToLoginFragment() {
FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.setCustomAnimations(R.anim.slide_enter_left, R.anim.slide_exit_left,
R.anim.slide_enter_right, R.anim.slide_exit_right);
LoginFragment loginFragment = LoginFragment.newInstance();
ft.replace(R.id.viewpagerstart, loginFragment);
ft.commit();
}
public void goToRegisterFragment() {
FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.setCustomAnimations(R.anim.slide_enter_left, R.anim.slide_exit_left,
R.anim.slide_enter_right, R.anim.slide_exit_right);
LoginFragment registerFragment = RegisterFragment.newInstance();
ft.replace(R.id.viewpagerstart, registerFragment);
ft.commit();
}
#Override
public void onBackPressed(){
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Back button is disabled", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
And then from your SplashFragment call the function that is defined in your activity.
Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
((MainActivity) getActivity()).goToLoginFragment();
}
}, 3000);
I hope that solves the problem.

TextView.setView() does not update text

From a fragment I start an activty, that opens a new fragment. Also I pass a string value from the first fragment (AllDishes) over the activity to the last fragment (DishDetailView) via intent.
The fragment (DishDetailView) is set as context to a layout (fragment_dishdetailview), but when I try to set the text that was passed, the view is not getting updated.
When I debug my app, the string parameter ("Test") seems to be passed and also the text of the TextView name seems to be set correctly, as you can see in the screenshot below, but somehow the UI (fragment_dishdetailview) is not getting updated, it´s just empty.
I´m not sure whether the update of the UI or the way of passing the value from one fragment to another is the problem. My aim is to open the fragment (DishDetailView) from fragment (AllDishes) and pass a string from the first to the second fragment. So actually I don´t need the activity but without I was not able to pass the String.
AllDishes (fragment)
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
Dish dish = ca.getItem(position);
Intent intent = new Intent(rootView.getContext(), DishDetailsViewActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("nameToPass" , dish.name);
startActivity(intent);
}
DishDetailView (fragment)
public class DishDetailView extends Fragment {
public View onCreateView(
LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState
) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_dishdetailview, container, false);
String tempHolder = getActivity().getIntent().getStringExtra("nameToPass");
TextView name = rootView.findViewById(R.id.textview_view_dishName);
name.setText(tempHolder);
rootView.invalidate();
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_dishdetailview, container, false);
}
}
DishDetailsViewActivity (activity)
public class DishDetailsViewActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_dish_details_view);
Toolbar toolbar = findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
FloatingActionButton fab = findViewById(R.id.fab);
fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Snackbar.make(view, "Replace with your own action", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
.setAction("Action", null).show();
}
});
}
}

I think you should return your rootView on the onCreateView method of DishDetailView.

How should I correctly put some Fragment to FrameLayout in mainActivity?

I'm trying to put fragment in MainActivity's FrameLayout by clicking the button in MainActivity. It almost works, but the content of MainActivity's FrameLayout doesn't get replaced by the Fragment content, but added to it. So the question is: how to make it correct?
My MainActivity class
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button btn = findViewById(R.id.pushMeBtn);
btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
FragmentManager f_m = getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction f_t = f_m.beginTransaction();
f_t.replace(R.id.container_layout, new Fragment1()).addToBackStack(null).commit();
}
});
}
}
My activity_main.xml
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/container_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/pushMeBtn"
android:text="push me"
android:layout_gravity="center"/>
</FrameLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
My Fragment1 class
public class Fragment1 extends Fragment {
#Nullable
#Override
public View onCreateView(#NonNull LayoutInflater inflater, #Nullable ViewGroup container, #Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment1, container,false);
}
}
My fragment.xml
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"

Fragment Debug GPU overdraw

I have MainActivity and added 2 fragments in R.id.container.
The MainActivity looks like the following.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main_activity);
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.container, Fragment1.newInstance())
.commit();
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.container, Fragment2.newInstance())
.commit();
}
}
Fragmnet1 and Fragment2 have the same code with different layouts.
public class Fragment1 extends Fragment {
public static Fragment1 newInstance() {
return new Fragment1();
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(#NonNull LayoutInflater inflater, #Nullable ViewGroup container,
#Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_1, container, false);
}
}
And the associated layout fragment1.xml is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/main"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#ffffff"
tools:context=".ui.main.Fragment1">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/message"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Test1"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
Layout for Fragment2 is fragmnet2.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/main"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#ffffff"
tools:context=".ui.main.Fragment1">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/message"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="32dp"
android:text="Test2"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
Here is the Debug GPU overdraw MainActivity after adding Fragment1 and Fragment2
See this image below. This is the one more drawing of GPU because the layout in Fragment1 remains in the MainActivity.
How can I add fragments without loading/showing the fragment below?
You are adding two fragments in the same container. This is the exact behaviour as per your code. If you need to show the fragment added later only, you need to replace the fragment instead of add.
I do not know the exact use case of yours. However, I guess you are trying to show fragment1 and fragment2 based on some checking. In that case, you might consider having two functions like the following in your MainActivity.
public boolean fragment1Loaded = false;
public void switchToFrag1() {
fragment1Loaded = true;
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.container, Fragment1.newInstance())
.commit();
}
public void switchToFrag2() {
fragment1Loaded = false;
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.container, Fragment2.newInstance())
.commit();
}
Now in the onCreate function, you need to call a function based on a condition which is necessary.
if (showFirstFragment) switchToFrag1();
else switchToFrag2();
You can do the switching whenever necessary from MainActivity.
Hope that helps!
Update
You can handle the back button click in your MainActivity and handle the logic by yourself. Override the onBackPressed function and then switch the fragments based on your necessity. For example, see the modified functions above. I am keeping a reference of which fragment is loaded in the screen right now. Then override the onBackPressed function like the following.
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if (fragment1Loaded) super.onBackPressed();
else switchToFrag1();
}
Hope you get the idea.

Fragment does not show up when app starts (onCreate) but does when it resumes (onResume)

I'm having an issue where a fragment in my main activity does not show up when the app is being started initially (during the main apps onCreate method) but does show up when I pause the app and then resume it (during the onResume method)
Here's the important parts of my main activity
activity_main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/activity_main"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin" />
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/fragment_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
</FrameLayout>
MainActivity:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
protected FrameLayout fragment_container;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
if (findViewById(R.id.fragment_container) != null) {
if (savedInstanceState != null) {
TextViewFragment fragment = new TextViewFragment();
fragment.setArguments(getIntent().getExtras());
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(R.id.fragment_container, fragment).commit();
}
}}
TextViewFragment:
public class TextViewFragment extends Fragment {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstance) {
super.onCreate(savedInstance);
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.textview_fragment, container, false);
}
}
textview_fragment:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TextView
android:text="This is not showing up"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:typeface="sans"
android:textSize="35sp"/>
</LinearLayout>
Any help is appreciated!
When it starts first then if (savedInstanceState != null) { condition gives null.
You may remove the condition then it will load the fragment always.

Fragment Not Displaying In Activity

Currently when running my application, going to this activity does not display my fragment. Am I adding the fragment wrong and so nothing in the fragment is displayed? Or is there something wrong the dynamic behavior in the fragment onCreateView method?
My Activity Code
public class AskQuestionActivity extends FragmentActivity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.ask_question);
}
}
My Activity XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TextView android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:hint="#string/header_text"/>
<fragment android:name="com.mypackage.AskQuestionFragment"
android:id="#+id/question_fragment"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
My Fragment Code
public class AskQuestionFragment extends Fragment {
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
String questionText = "What is your favorite color?";
List<String> answers = Arrays.asList("Red", "Blue", "Yellow");
LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)inflater.inflate(R.layout.question, container);
Resources res = getResources();
int id = res.getIdentifier("question_text", "id", layout.getContext().getPackageName());
TextView questionTextView = (TextView)layout.findViewById(id);
questionTextView.setText(questionText);
id = res.getIdentifier("question_answers", "id", layout.getContext().getPackageName());
RadioGroup radioGroup = (RadioGroup)layout.findViewById(id);
Collections.reverse(answers);
for (String s : answers) {
RadioButton button = new RadioButton(layout.getContext());
button.setText(s);
radioGroup.addView(button, 0);
}
return layout;
}
}
My Fragment XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/question_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:id="#+id/question_text"/>
<RadioGroup android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:id="#+id/question_answers"></RadioGroup>
<Button
android:id="#+id/submit_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/submit_button_text"
/>
</LinearLayout>
try to put framelayout instead of fragment in xml. and in your activity's onCreate create the instance of your fragment you want to display and add it to the fragment container
public class AskQuestionActivity extends FragmentActivity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.ask_question);
AskQuestionFragment fragment = new AskQuestionFragment();
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.id_of_your_container, fragment).commit();
}
}
Your problem might be when doing this:
LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)inflater.inflate(R.layout.question, container);
Consider to replace that line with one of the following:
LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)inflater.inflate(R.layout.question, null);
or
LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)inflater.inflate(R.layout.question, container, false);
change your layout from linear to be framelayout, and attach your fragment in activity .
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.your_fragment_container, fragment).commit();
