[android] Problems with Android Fragment back stack

Right!!! after much hair pulling I've finally worked out how to make this work properly.

It seems as though fragment [3] is not removed from the view when back is pressed so you have to do it manually!

First of all, dont use replace() but instead use remove and add separately. It seems as though replace() doesnt work properly.

The next part to this is overriding the onKeyDown method and remove the current fragment every time the back button is pressed.

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event)
{
    if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK)
    {
        if (getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() == 0)
        {
            this.finish();
            return false;
        }
        else
        {
            getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStack();
            removeCurrentFragment();

            return false;
        }



    }

    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}


public void removeCurrentFragment()
{
    FragmentTransaction transaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();

    Fragment currentFrag =  getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.detailFragment);


    String fragName = "NONE";

    if (currentFrag!=null)
        fragName = currentFrag.getClass().getSimpleName();


    if (currentFrag != null)
        transaction.remove(currentFrag);

    transaction.commit();

}

Hope this helps!
