This is a very good and reliable solution: http://vinsol.com/blog/2014/10/01/handling-back-button-press-inside-fragments/
The guy has made an abstract fragment that handles the backPress behaviour and is switching between the active fragments using the strategy pattern.
For some of you there maybe a little drawback in the abstract class...
Shortly, the solution from the link goes like this:
// Abstract Fragment handling the back presses
public abstract class BackHandledFragment extends Fragment {
protected BackHandlerInterface backHandlerInterface;
public abstract String getTagText();
public abstract boolean onBackPressed();
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
if(!(getActivity() instanceof BackHandlerInterface)) {
throw new ClassCastException("Hosting activity must implement BackHandlerInterface");
} else {
backHandlerInterface = (BackHandlerInterface) getActivity();
}
}
@Override
public void onStart() {
super.onStart();
// Mark this fragment as the selected Fragment.
backHandlerInterface.setSelectedFragment(this);
}
public interface BackHandlerInterface {
public void setSelectedFragment(BackHandledFragment backHandledFragment);
}
}
And usage in the activity:
// BASIC ACTIVITY CODE THAT LETS ITS FRAGMENT UTILIZE onBackPress EVENTS
// IN AN ADAPTIVE AND ORGANIZED PATTERN USING BackHandledFragment
public class TheActivity extends FragmentActivity implements BackHandlerInterface {
private BackHandledFragment selectedFragment;
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if(selectedFragment == null || !selectedFragment.onBackPressed()) {
// Selected fragment did not consume the back press event.
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
@Override
public void setSelectedFragment(BackHandledFragment selectedFragment) {
this.selectedFragment = selectedFragment;
}
}
