But My problem is After watching the Gallery images I press the action bar back button.

Listed below are the codings.

GalleryActivity.java:

    import android.app.ActionBar;
    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
    import android.support.v4.app.NavUtils;
    import android.view.MenuItem;

    import com.fth.android.R;

   public class GalleryActivity extends FragmentActivity {

    private int position;
    private static String id;
    private static String name;
    private DemoCollectionPagerAdapter mDemoCollectionPagerAdapter;
    private ViewPager mViewPager;


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
         setContentView(R.layout.activity_gallery);

            position = getIntent().getExtras().getInt("position");

            id = getIntent().getExtras().getString("id");

            name = getIntent().getExtras().getString("name");

            mDemoCollectionPagerAdapter = new DemoCollectionPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());

            // Set up action bar.
            final ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();


            actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

           // getActionBar().setDisplayOptions(ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_HOME|ActionBar.DISPLAY_USE_LOGO|ActionBar.DISPLAY_HOME_AS_UP);

            // Set up the ViewPager, attaching the adapter.
            mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
            mViewPager.setAdapter(mDemoCollectionPagerAdapter);
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
            switch (item.getItemId()) {
                case android.R.id.home:

                    Intent upIntent = new Intent(this, HomeActivity.class);
                    upIntent.putExtra("position", position);
                    if (NavUtils.shouldUpRecreateTask(this, upIntent)) {

                        TaskStackBuilder.from(this)
                                .addNextIntent(upIntent)
                                .startActivities();
                        finish();
                    } else {

                        NavUtils.navigateUpTo(this, upIntent);
                    }
                    return true;
            }
            return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
        }


      }

GalleryDetailFragment.java:

import com.sit.fth.model.GalleryDetail;
import com.sit.fth.util.APIServiceHandler;
import com.sit.fth.util.AppConstants;
import com.sit.fth.util.AppPromoPager;

public class GalleryDetailFragment extends BaseFragment implements
        PromoPagerListener {


    private TextView countView;

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        this.setHasOptionsMenu(true);
        id = getArguments().getString("id");
        name = getArguments().getString("name");
        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.app_pager, null);



        return view;
    }

}

Anybody can help me if you know how to solve these.Thank You.

Answer 1

I solved these problem by adding the below coding in GalleryActivity.

ActionBar actionBar;
actionBar=getActionBar();

actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) { 
        switch (item.getItemId()) {
        case android.R.id.home: 
            onBackPressed();
            return true;
        }

    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

In MainActivity:

Previously,

public class HomeActivity extends BaseActivity

Then I change into

public class HomeActivity extends FragmentActivity

In GalleryFragment:

I use Intent to pass it to the GalleryActivity.

@Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2, long arg3) {
        Gallery gallery = (Gallery) arg0.getAdapter().getItem(arg2);

        Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), GalleryActivity.class);
        intent.putExtra("position", position);
        intent.putExtra("id", gallery.getGalId());
        intent.putExtra("name", gallery.getAlbumTitle());
        startActivity(intent);

        // mCallback.OnGalItemSelected(gallery.getGalId(),gallery.getAlbumTitle());
    }

Please read this

you should have something like this:

    <activity
        android:name="com.sit.fth.activity.HomeActivity"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait">

    </activity>
    <activity
        android:name="com.sit.fth.activity.GalleryActivity"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait"
        android:parentActivityName="com.sit.fth.activity.HomeActivity">

    <meta-data
        android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
        android:value="com.sit.fth.activity.HomeActivity"/>

   </activity>

then calling NavUtils.navigateUpFromSameTask(this) will cause navigating to parent activity (HomeActivity).

You need to call setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true) method in the onCreate method and override onSupportNavigateUp() and call onBackPressed() in it as below. That's it. done :)

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_help);
    getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
}

@Override
public boolean onSupportNavigateUp() {
    onBackPressed();
    return true;
}
