How to clear ListView on Fragment when back button pressed?

Question

All data from that ListView is provided by a CursorAdapter. Whenever I pressed back button and return to activity, then click on the activity to start my fragment, all previous data still there stacking on top of each other.

Answer 1

Make public a method in fragment which will clear your list and call that method from its parent activity's On onBackPressed using fragment's instance.

Answer 2

1) Create an interface BackPressedListener:

public interface BackPressedListener {
    void onBackPressed();
}

2) In your activity, you can override onBackPressed():

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    List<Fragment> fragmentList = getSupportFragmentManager().getFragments();
    if (fragmentList != null) {
        for(Fragment fragment : fragmentList){
           if(fragment instanceof BackPressedListener){
               ((BackPressedListener)fragment).onBackPressed();
           }
        }
    }
}

3) Implement the interface BackPressedListener, on your fragment. You would override the onBackPressed method in your fragment, clear your list containing the elements and then notify the adapter of the changes as below:

   @Override
        public void onBackPressed()
        {
             arrayList.clear();
             adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
             finish();
        }

Answer 3

When returned to the activity after pressing back button call:

arraylist.clear();
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

Answer 4

you can try

      try {
           arraylist.clear();
           listView.removeAllViews();
        }catch (Exception e){

        }
