How to implement onBackPressed in Fragments

Question

Is there a way in which we can implement onBackPressed   in Android Fragment similar to the way in which we implement in Android Activity   As the Fragment lifecycle do not have onBackPressed    Is there any other alternative method to over ride onBackPressed   in Android 3 0 fragments

onBackPressed   cause Fragment to be detach from Activity   According to  Sterling Diaz answer I think he is right  BUT some situation will be wrong   ex  Rotate Screen   So  I think we could detect whether isRemoving   to achieve goals   You can write it at onDetach   or onDestroyView    It is work      Override public void onDetach         super onDetach        if isRemoving                onBackPressed             Override public void onDestroyView         super onDestroyView        if isRemoving                onBackPressed

If you re using androidx appcompat appcompat 1 1 0 or above then you can add an OnBackPressedCallback to your fragment as follows  requireActivity        onBackPressedDispatcher      addCallback this  object   OnBackPressedCallback true            override fun handleOnBackPressed                 Log d TAG   Fragment back pressed invoked                  Do custom work here                     if you want onBackPressed   to be called as normal afterwards             if  isEnabled                    isEnabled   false                 requireActivity   onBackPressed                                     See https   developer android com guide navigation navigation-custom-back

If you use EventBus   it is probably a far more simpler solution       In your Fragment      Override public void onAttach Activity activity        super onAttach activity       EventBus getDefault   register this       Override public void onDetach         super onDetach        EventBus getDefault   unregister this          This method will be called when a MessageEvent is posted public void onEvent BackPressedMessage type       getSupportFragmentManager   popBackStack        and in your Activity class you can define     Override public void onStart         super onStart        EventBus getDefault   register this       Override public void onStop         EventBus getDefault   unregister this       super onStop          This method will be called when a MessageEvent is posted public void onEvent BackPressedMessage type       super onBackPressed        Override public void onBackPressed         EventBus getDefault   post new BackPressedMessage true        BackPressedMessage java is just a POJO object  This is super clean and there is no interface implementation hassle

In activity life cycle  always android back button deals with FragmentManager transactions when we used FragmentActivity or AppCompatActivity  To handle the backstack we don t need to handle its backstack count or tag anything but we should keep focus while adding or replacing a fragment  Please find the following snippets to handle the back button cases       public void replaceFragment Fragment fragment             FragmentTransaction transaction   getSupportFragmentManager   beginTransaction            if    fragment instanceof HomeFragment                 transaction addToBackStack null                     transaction replace R id activity menu fragment container  fragment  commit            Here  I won t add back stack for my home fragment because it s home page of my application  If add addToBackStack to HomeFragment then app will wait to remove all the frament in acitivity then we ll get blank screen so I m keeping the following condition   if    fragment instanceof HomeFragment                 transaction addToBackStack null       Now  you can see the previously added fragment on acitvity and app will exit when reaching HomeFragment  you can also look on the following snippets    Override public void onBackPressed          if  mDrawerLayout isDrawerOpen Gravity LEFT             closeDrawer          else           super onBackPressed

You can use onBackPressedDispatcher of parent activity like this  val backpress   requireActivity   onBackPressedDispatcher addCallback viewLifecycleOwner  true                   here dispatcher works for any action when back pressed    you can also enable disable backpress button from fragment any time like this  backpress isEnabled   true false

I had the same problem and I created a new listener for it and used in my fragments   1 - Your activity should have a listener interface and a list of listeners in it  2 - You should implement methods for adding and removing the listeners  3 - You should override the onBackPressed method to check that any of the listeners use the back press or not  public class MainActivity                       Back press listener list  Used for notifying fragments when onBackPressed called             private Stack lt BackPressListener gt  backPressListeners   new Stack lt BackPressListener gt                               Adding new listener to back press listener stack         param backPressListener             public void addBackPressListener BackPressListener backPressListener            backPressListeners add backPressListener                         Removing the listener from back press listener stack         param backPressListener             public void removeBackPressListener BackPressListener backPressListener            backPressListeners remove backPressListener                  Overriding onBackPressed to check that is there any listener using this back press      Override     public void onBackPressed                 checks if is there any back press listeners use this press         for BackPressListener backPressListener   backPressListeners                if backPressListener onBackPressed    return                        if not returns in the loop  calls super onBackPressed         super onBackPressed               4 - Your fragment must implement the interface for back press  5 - You need to add the fragment as a listener for back press  6 - You should return true from onBackPressed if the fragment uses this back press  7 - IMPORTANT - You must remove the fragment from the list onDestroy  public class MyFragment extends Fragment implements MainActivity BackPressListener                   Override     public void onAttach Activity activity            super onCreate savedInstanceState               adding the fragment to listener list           MainActivity  activity  addBackPressListener this                        Override     public void onDestroy             super onDestroy                removing the fragment from the listener list           MainActivity  getActivity    removeBackPressListener this                        Override     public boolean onBackPressed                 you should check that if this fragment is the currently used fragment or not            if this fragment is not used at the moment you should return false         if  isThisFragmentVisibleAtTheMoment  return false           if  isThisFragmentUsingBackPress                   do what you need to do             return true                    return false            There is a Stack used instead of the ArrayList to be able to start from the latest fragment  There may be a problem also while adding fragments to the back stack  So you need to check that the fragment is visible or not while using back press  Otherwise one of the fragments will use the event and latest fragment will not be closed on back press   I hope this solves the problem for everyone

In your mainActivity implement interface for callback protected mainActivity OnBackPressedListener onBackPressedListener   public interface OnBackPressedListener       void doBack       public void setOnBackPressedListener mainActivity OnBackPressedListener onBackPressedListener        this onBackPressedListener   onBackPressedListener      Override public void onBackPressed         if  onBackPressedListener    null            onBackPressedListener doBack          else            super onBackPressed             on fragment implement intefrace OnBackPressedListener which we write in mainActivity like implements mainActivity OnBackPressedListener  mainActivity is my base activity write following code in your fragment onCreateView method   mainActivity  getActivity    setOnBackPressedListener this    and implement OnBackPressedListener interface method doBack  Override public void doBack           call base fragment     now call fragment which you want to call on back pressed using doBack   method

The solution is simple   1  If you have a base fragment class that all fragments extend  then add this code to it s class  otherwise create such a base fragment class          called when on back pressed to the current fragment that is returned      public void onBackPressed             add code in super class when override      2  In your Activity class  override onBackPressed as follows   private BaseFragment  currentFragment    Override public void onBackPressed           super onBackPressed          currentFragment onBackPressed        3  In Your Fragment class  add your desired code     Override  public void onBackPressed          setUpTitle

I have used another approach as follows    An Otto event bus to communicate between the Activity and its Fragments A Stack in the Activity containing custom back actions wrapped in a Runnable that the calling fragment defines When onBackPressed is called in the controlling Activity  it pops the most recent custom back action and executes its Runnable  If there s nothing on the Stack  the default super onBackPressed   is called   The full approach with sample code is included here as an answer to this other SO question

If you wanted that sort of functionality you would need to override it in your activity  and then add a YourBackPressed interface to all your fragments  which you call on the relevant fragment whenever the back button is pressed   Edit  I d like to append my previous answer   If I were to do this today  I d use a broadcast  or possibly a ordered broadcast if I expected other panels to update in unison to the master main content panel   LocalBroadcastManager in the Support Library can help with this  and you just send the broadcast in onBackPressed and subscribe in your fragments that care  I think that Messaging is a more decoupled implementation and would scale better  so it would be my official implementation recommendation now  Just use the Intent s action as a filter for your message  send your newly created ACTION BACK PRESSED  send it from your activity and listen for it in the relevant fragments

New and better approach  Following piece of code in a Fragment will help you to capture the back-press event   Override public void onAttach  NonNull Context context        super onAttach context        OnBackPressedCallback callback   new OnBackPressedCallback true             Override         public void handleOnBackPressed                 Toast makeText mContext   quot back pressed quot   Toast LENGTH SHORT  show                                And when you want to go back based on your condition             if  yourCondition                    this setEnabled false                   requireActivity   onBackPressed                                        requireActivity   getOnBackPressedDispatcher   addCallback this  callback

Ok guys I finally found out a good solution   In your onCreate   in your activity housing your fragments add a backstack change listener like so       fragmentManager addOnBackStackChangedListener new FragmentManager OnBackStackChangedListener              Override         public void onBackStackChanged                 List lt Fragment gt  f   fragmentManager getFragments                  List lt Fragment gt  f only returns one value             Fragment frag   f get 0               currentFragment   frag getClass   getSimpleName                         Also adding my fragmenManager is declared in the activities O Now every time you change fragment the current fragment String will become the name of the current fragment  Then in the activities onBackPressed   you can control the actions of your back button as so        Override     public void onBackPressed          switch  currentFragment            case  FragmentOne                  your code here             return          case  FragmentTwo                  your code here             return          default              fragmentManager popBackStack                   default action for any other fragment  return to previous             I can confirm that this method works for me

You should add interface to your project like below   public interface OnBackPressed         void onBackPressed        And then  you should implement this interface on your fragment   public class SampleFragment extends Fragment implements OnBackPressed         Override     public void onBackPressed               on Back Pressed            And you can trigger this onBackPressed event under your activities onBackPressed event like below   public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity           Override         public void onBackPressed                     Fragment currentFragment   getSupportFragmentManager   getFragments   get getSupportFragmentManager   getBackStackEntryCount   - 1                   if  currentFragment instanceof OnBackPressed                            OnBackPressed  currentFragment  onBackPressed                                      super onBackPressed

Providing custom back navigation by handling onBackPressed is now more easy with callbacks inside the fragment   class MyFragment   Fragment         override fun onCreate savedInstanceState  Bundle             super onCreate savedInstanceState          val onBackPressedCallback   object   OnBackPressedCallback true                override fun handleOnBackPressed                     if  true    conditionForCustomAction                        myCustomActionHere                     else  NavHostFragment findNavController this MyFragment  navigateUp                            requireActivity   onBackPressedDispatcher addCallback          this  onBackPressedCallback                   If you want the default back action based on some condition  you can use    NavHostFragment findNavController this MyFragment  navigateUp

since this question and some of the answers are over five years old  let me share my solution  This is a follow-up and modernization to the answer from  oyenigun  UPDATE  At the bottom of this article  I added an alternative implementation using an abstract Fragment extension that won t involve the Activity at all  which would be useful for anyone with a more complex fragment hierarchy involving nested fragments that require different back behavior   I needed to implement this because some of the fragments I use have smaller views that I would like to dismiss with the back button  such as small information views that pop up  etc  but this is good for anyone who needs to override the behavior of the back button inside fragments   First  define an Interface  public interface Backable       boolean onBackPressed        This interface  which I call Backable  I m a stickler for naming conventions   has a single method onBackPressed   that must return a boolean value  We need to enforce a boolean value because we will need to know if the back button press has  absorbed  the back event  Returning true means that it has  and no further action is needed  otherwise  false says that the default back action still must take place  This interface should be it s own file  preferably in a separate package named interfaces   Remember  separating your classes into packages is good practice   Second  find the top fragment  I created a method that returns the last Fragment object in the back stack  I use tags    if you use ID s  make the necessary changes  I have this static method in a utility class that deals with navigation states  etc    but of course  put it where it best suits you  For edification  I ve put mine in a class called NavUtils   public static Fragment getCurrentFragment Activity activity        FragmentManager fragmentManager   activity getFragmentManager        if  fragmentManager getBackStackEntryCount    gt  0            String lastFragmentName   fragmentManager getBackStackEntryAt                  fragmentManager getBackStackEntryCount   - 1  getName            return fragmentManager findFragmentByTag lastFragmentName             return null      Make sure the back stack count is greater than 0  otherwise an ArrayOutOfBoundsException could be thrown at runtime  If it isn t greater than 0  return null  We ll check for a null value later     Third  Implement in a Fragment  Implement the Backable interface in whichever fragment where you need to override the back button behavior  Add the implementation method   public class SomeFragment extends Fragment implements          FragmentManager OnBackStackChangedListener  Backable              Override     public boolean onBackPressed                 Logic here            if  backButtonShouldNotGoBack                whateverMethodYouNeed                return true                    return false             In the onBackPressed   override  put whatever logic you need  If you want the back button to not pop the back stack  the default behavior   return true  that your back event has been absorbed  Otherwise  return false   Lastly  in your Activity     Override the onBackPressed   method and add this logic to it    Override public void onBackPressed             Get the current fragment using the method from the second step above        Fragment currentFragment   NavUtils getCurrentFragment this           Determine whether or not this fragment implements Backable        Do a null check just to be safe     if  currentFragment    null  amp  amp  currentFragment instanceof Backable             if    Backable  currentFragment  onBackPressed                     If the onBackPressed override in your fragment                 did absorb the back event  returned true   return             return            else                  Otherwise  call the super method for the default behavior             super onBackPressed                            Any other logic needed           call super method to be sure the back button does its thing        super onBackPressed        We get the current fragment in the back stack  then we do a null check and determine if it implements our Backable interface  If it does  determine if the event was absorbed  If so  we re done with onBackPressed   and can return  Otherwise  treat it as a normal back press and call the super method   Second Option to not involve the Activity  At times  you don t want the Activity to handle this at all  and you need to handle it directly within the fragment  But who says you can t have Fragments with a back press API  Just extend your fragment to a new class   Create an abstract class that extends Fragment and implements the View OnKeyListner interface     import android app Fragment  import android os Bundle  import android view KeyEvent  import android view View   public abstract class BackableFragment extends Fragment implements View OnKeyListener         Override     public void onViewCreated View view  Bundle savedInstanceState            super onViewCreated view  savedInstanceState           view setFocusableInTouchMode true           view requestFocus            view setOnKeyListener this               Override     public boolean onKey View v  int keyCode  KeyEvent event            if  event getAction      KeyEvent ACTION UP                if  keyCode    KeyEvent KEYCODE BACK                    onBackButtonPressed                    return true                                   return false             public abstract void onBackButtonPressed        As you can see  any fragment that extends BackableFragment will automatically capture back clicks using the View OnKeyListener interface  Just call the abstract onBackButtonPressed   method from within the implemented onKey   method using the standard logic to discern a back button press  If you need to register key clicks other than the back button  just be sure to call the super method when overriding onKey   in your fragment  otherwise you ll override the behavior in the abstraction   Simple to use  just extend and implement   public class FragmentChannels extends BackableFragment                  Override     public void onBackButtonPressed             if  doTheThingRequiringBackButtonOverride                   do the thing           else               getActivity   onBackPressed                                 Since the onBackButtonPressed   method in the super class is abstract  once you extend you must implement onBackButtonPressed    It returns void because it just needs to perform an action within the fragment class  and does not need to relay the absorption of the press back to the Activity  Make sure you do call the Activity onBackPressed   method if whatever you re doing with the back button doesn t require handling  otherwise  the back button will be disabled    and you don t want that   Caveats As you can see  this sets the key listener to the root view of the fragment  and we ll need to focus it  If there are edit texts involved  or any other focus-stealing views  in your fragment that extends this class   or other inner fragments or views that have the same   you ll need to handle that separately  There s a good article on extending an EditText to lose focus on a back press   I hope someone finds this useful  Happy coding

Its just simple if you have An Activity A and you make 3 fragments like B  C and D Now if you are in fragment B or C and onBackPressed you want to move on Fragment D every time  Then you have to just Override the onBackPressed   method in main Activity A and also when you jump to any fragment then pass a TAG or name  of that fragment by which you recognized that fragment in main Activity A   I am giving the example of that one by which you can easily understand that       if  savedInstanceState    null        getSupportFragmentManager   beginTransaction   add R id container  new C fragment    xyz   commit         or if you are moving from fragment B to fragment C  and on back press you want to come on Fragment D   like below  btn setOnClickListener new View OnClickListener           Override     public void onClick View view             getActivity   getSupportFragmentManager   beginTransaction   add R id container  new C frament     xyz   commit              ActionBarActivity  getActivity    getSupportActionBar   setTitle  Fragment C                Now you have to just override the onBackPressed   method in main activity    like below     Override public void onBackPressed         FragmentManager fragmentManager  getSupportFragmentManager        if    C fragment  getSupportFragmentManager   findFragmentByTag  xyz       null  amp  amp    C fragment  getSupportFragmentManager   findFragmentByTag  xyz    isVisible              Fragment fragment   new D Fragment            fragmentManager beginTransaction   replace R id container  fragment  commit            getSupportActionBar   setTitle  D fragment           else           super onBackPressed

Just add addToBackStack while you are transitioning between your fragments like below    fragmentManager beginTransaction   replace R id content frame fragment  addToBackStack  tag   commit      if you write addToBackStack null    it will handle it by itself but if you give a tag   you should handle it manually

According to  HaMMeRed answer here is pseudocode how should it works  Lets say that your main activity is called BaseActivity which has child fragments  like in SlidingMenu lib example   Here are the steps   First we need create interface and class which implements its interface to have generic method   Create class interface OnBackPressedListener  public interface OnBackPressedListener       public void doBack       Create class which implements skills of OnBackPressedListener  public class BaseBackPressedListener implements OnBackPressedListener       private final FragmentActivity activity       public BaseBackPressedListener FragmentActivity activity            this activity   activity              Override     public void doBack             activity getSupportFragmentManager   popBackStack null  FragmentManager POP BACK STACK INCLUSIVE            Since now  we will work on our code BaseActivity and its fragments Create private listener on top of your class BaseActivity  protected OnBackPressedListener onBackPressedListener   create method to set listener in BaseActivity  public void setOnBackPressedListener OnBackPressedListener onBackPressedListener        this onBackPressedListener   onBackPressedListener     in override onBackPressed implement something like that   Override public void onBackPressed         if  onBackPressedListener    null          onBackPressedListener doBack        else         super onBackPressed     in your fragment in onCreateView you should add our listener   Override public View onCreateView LayoutInflater inflater  ViewGroup container  Bundle savedInstanceState        activity   getActivity           BaseActivity activity  setOnBackPressedListener new BaseBackPressedListener activity         View view           stuff with view      return view       Voila  now when you click back in fragment you should catch your custom on back method

In my solution  Kotlin    I m using onBackAlternative function as a parameter on BaseActivity   BaseActivity  abstract class BaseActivity        var onBackPressAlternative      - gt  Unit     null      override fun onBackPressed             if  onBackPressAlternative    null                onBackPressAlternative               else               super onBackPressed                       I have a function for set onBackPressAlternative on BaseFragment   BaseFragment  abstract class BaseFragment         override fun onStart             super onStart                       setOnBackPressed null     Add this                 Method must be declared as open  for overriding in child class      open fun setOnBackPressed onBackAlternative      - gt  Unit                activity as BaseActivity lt      gt   onBackPressAlternative   onBackAlternative            Then my onBackPressAlternative is ready to use on fragments   Sub Fragments  override fun setOnBackPressed onBackAlternative      - gt  Unit           activity as BaseActivity lt      gt   onBackPressAlternative                TODO Your own custom onback function
