How to avoid adding same fragment to stack

Question

I need some help. em adding fragment to activity this way. problem is on each call of openFragment it create fragment and add. which is obvious. Question: what modification i do, so it can add fragment only once. on the next call with same fragment tag it will do nothing.

case: press button first time it add fragment and shows. i press again same button it response nothing.

public static void openFragment(Activity activity, Fragment fragment) {

    FragmentManager fragmentManager = ((ActionBarActivity) activity)
            .getSupportFragmentManager();
        FragmentTransaction ftx = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
        ftx.addToBackStack(fragment.getClass().getSimpleName());
        ftx.setCustomAnimations(R.anim.slide_in_right,
                R.anim.slide_out_left, R.anim.slide_in_left,
                R.anim.slide_out_right);
        ftx.add(R.id.main_content, fragment);
        ftx.commit();
}

Here's the solution, It will only allow you to add fragment once in stack otherwise it will pop-out the very same fragment from stack.

public static void openFragment(Activity activity, Fragment fragment) {
    String fragmentTag = fragment.getClass().getName();
    FragmentManager fragmentManager= ((ActionBarActivity) activity)
            .getSupportFragmentManager();

    boolean fragmentPopped = fragmentManager
            .popBackStackImmediate(fragmentTag , 0);

    if (!fragmentPopped && fragmentManager.findFragmentByTag(fragmentTag) == null) {

    FragmentTransaction ftx = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
    ftx.addToBackStack(fragment.getClass().getSimpleName());
    ftx.setCustomAnimations(R.anim.slide_in_right,
            R.anim.slide_out_left, R.anim.slide_in_left,
            R.anim.slide_out_right);
    ftx.add(R.id.main_content, fragment);
    ftx.commit();
  }
}

slide_in_right

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:shareInterpolator="true">
  <translate android:fromXDelta="100%"
    android:toXDelta="0%" android:fromYDelta="0%"
    android:toYDelta="0%" android:duration="200">
  </translate>
</set>

slide_out_right

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shareInterpolator="false">
    <translate android:fromXDelta="0%" android:toXDelta="100%"
    android:fromYDelta="0%" android:toYDelta="0%"
    android:duration="200">
  </translate>
</set>

slide_in_left

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:shareInterpolator="true">
  <translate android:fromXDelta="-100%"
    android:toXDelta="0%" android:fromYDelta="0%"
    android:toYDelta="0%" android:duration="200">
  </translate>
</set>

slide_out_left

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:shareInterpolator="true">
  <translate android:fromXDelta="0%"
    android:toXDelta="-100%" android:fromYDelta="0%"
    android:toYDelta="0%" android:duration="200">
  </translate>
</set>

And this is how you call this function:

openFragment(activity, new MyFragment());

Use FragmentTransaction.replace() instead of FragmentTransaction.add():

This is essentially the same as calling remove(Fragment) for all currently added fragments that were added with the same containerViewId and then add(int, Fragment, String) with the same arguments given here.

The first call to FragmentTransaction.replace() will simply add the fragment as there were no fragments to remove.
