I think the easiest way is to create an interface, and in the Activity check if the fragment is of the interface type, and if so, call its method to handle the pop. Here's the interface to implement in the fragment.
public interface BackPressedFragment {
// Note for this to work, name AND tag must be set anytime the fragment is added to back stack, e.g.
// getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
// .replace(R.id.fragment_container, MyFragment.newInstance(), "MY_FRAG_TAG")
// .addToBackStack("MY_FRAG_TAG")
// .commit();
// This is really an override. Should call popBackStack itself.
void onPopBackStack();
}
Here's how to implement it.
public class MyFragment extends Fragment implements BackPressedFragment
@Override
public void onPopBackStack() {
/* Your code goes here, do anything you want. */
getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStack();
}
And in your Activity, when you handle the pop (likely in both onBackPressed and onOptionsItemSelected), pop the backstack using this method:
public void popBackStack() {
FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
// Call current fragment's onPopBackStack if it has one.
String fragmentTag = fm.getBackStackEntryAt(fm.getBackStackEntryCount() - 1).getName();
Fragment currentFragment = getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(fragmentTag);
if (currentFragment instanceof BackPressedFragment)
((BackPressedFragment)currentFragment).onPopBackStack();
else
fm.popBackStack();
}
