How do I get the currently displayed fragment?

Question

I am playing with fragments in Android.

I know I can change a fragment by using the following code:

FragmentManager fragMgr = getSupportFragmentManag         


        

Answer 1

final FragmentManager fm=this.getSupportFragmentManager();
final Fragment fragment=fm.findFragmentByTag("MY_FRAGMENT");

if(fragment != null && fragment.isVisible()){
      Log.i("TAG","my fragment is visible");
}
else{
      Log.i("TAG","my fragment is not visible");
}

Here is a Kotlin solution:

if ( this.getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount()>0 ) {
    var fgmt = this.getSupportFragmentManager().fragments[this.getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount()-1]
    if( fgmt is FgmtClassName ) {
        (fgmt as FgmtClassName).doSth()
    }
}

Simplified way:

with ( this.getSupportFragmentManager() ) {
    if ( getBackStackEntryCount()>0 ) {
        var fgmt = fragments[getBackStackEntryCount()-1]
        if ( fgmt is FgmtClassName ) {
            (fgmt as FgmtClassName).doSth()
        }
    }
}

You can do it very easily also with a URL in logcat which will redirect you to the source code of current fragment source code. First, you need to add an OnBackStackChangedListener in host activity like -

activity.getChildFragmentManager().addOnBackStackChangedListener(backStackListener);

And the OnBackStackChangedListener implementation is -

    public FragmentManager.OnBackStackChangedListener backStackListener = () -> {

    String simpleName = "";
    String stackName = getStackTopName().trim();

    if (Validator.isValid(stackName) && stackName.length() > 0) {

      simpleName = stackName.substring(Objects.requireNonNull(stackName).lastIndexOf('.') + 1).trim();

      List<Fragment >
       fragmentList = getChildFragmentManager().getFragments();
      Fragment myCurrentFragment;

      for (int i = 0; i < fragmentList.size(); i++) {
       myCurrentFragment= fragmentList.get(i);
       if (myCurrentFragment.getClass().getSimpleName().equals(simpleName)) {
        //Now you get the current displaying fragment assigned in myCurrentFragment.
        break;
       }
       myFragment = null;
      }
     }


     //The code below is for the source code redirectable logcat which would be optional for you.
     StackTraceElement stackTraceElement = new StackTraceElement(simpleName, "", simpleName + ".java", 50);
     String fileName = stackTraceElement.getFileName();
     if (fileName == null) fileName = "";
     final String info = "Current Fragment is:" + "(" + fileName + ":" +
     stackTraceElement.getLineNumber() + ")";
     Log.d("now", info + "\n\n");
    };

And the getStackTopName() method is -

public String getStackTopName() {
    FragmentManager.BackStackEntry backEntry = null;
    FragmentManager fragmentManager = getChildFragmentManager();
    if (fragmentManager != null) {
        if (getChildFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() > 0)
            backEntry = getChildFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryAt(
                    getChildFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() - 1
            );
    }
    return backEntry != null ? backEntry.getName() : null;
}

It's a bit late, But for anyone who is interested : If you know the index of the your desired fragment in FragmentManager just get a reference to it and check for isMenuVisible() function! here :

getSupportFragmentManager().getFragments().get(0).isMenuVisible()

If true Its visible to user and so on!

Answer 5

I know it's an old post, but was having trouble with it previously too. Found a solution which was to do this in the onBackStackChanged() listening function

  @Override
    public void onBackPressed() {
        super.onBackPressed();

         Fragment f = getActivity().getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.fragment_container);
      if(f instanceof CustomFragmentClass) 
        // do something with f
        ((CustomFragmentClass) f).doSomething();

    }

This worked for me as I didn't want to iterate through every fragment I have to find one that is visible. Hope it helps someone else too.

Every time when you show fragment you must put it tag into backstack:

FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_ENTER_MASK);       
ft.add(R.id.primaryLayout, fragment, tag);
ft.addToBackStack(tag);
ft.commit();        

And then when you need to get current fragment you may use this method:

public BaseFragment getActiveFragment() {
    if (getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() == 0) {
        return null;
    }
    String tag = getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryAt(getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() - 1).getName();
    return (BaseFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(tag);
}
