Navigation Drawer back button in fragments

Question

I started creating of app which use one activity (Navigation Drawer) and many fragments. But I unable to use toolbar back button to navigate back from fragments. Hardware back button works perfectly. I know that I need to override onOptionsItemSelected, catch android.R.id.home, check if there are something in back stack and than pop it. After changing fragment, "burger" button changes to "back arrow", but when I click on it onOptionsItemSelected never fired, just opens the NavigationDrawer menu.

Here the code from activity:

public class NavDrawerActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements ... {

    NavigationView navigationView;
    BottomNavigationView bottomNavigationView;
    ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle;
    FragmentManager fragmentManager;

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

        fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();

        Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

        final DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);

        toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
                this, drawer, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);

        drawer.addDrawerListener(toggle);

        toggle.syncState();

        // Set back button
        fragmentManager.addOnBackStackChangedListener(new FragmentManager.OnBackStackChangedListener() {
            @Override
            public void onBackStackChanged() {
                if (fragmentManager.getBackStackEntryCount() > 0) {
                    getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
                } else {
                    getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);
                    toggle.syncState();
                }
            }
        });

        // Load default fragment
        changeFragment(new HomeFragment(), false);

        navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
        navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);

        View headerLayout = navigationView.getHeaderView(0);

        bottomNavigationView = (BottomNavigationView) findViewById(R.id.bottom_navigation);
        bottomNavigationView.setOnNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        switch (item.getItemId()) {
            case android.R.id.home:
                Toast.makeText(this, "Back pressed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                        .show();
                onBackPressed();
                return true;
        }
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }

    @Override
    public void onBackPressed() {
        DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);

        if (drawer.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START))
            drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);

        if (drawer.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {
            drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
        } else if (fragmentManager.getBackStackEntryCount() > 0) {
            fragmentManager.popBackStack();
        } else {
            super.onBackPressed();
        }
    }

    private void changeFragment(Fragment fm, boolean addToBackStack)
    {
        FragmentTransaction ft = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
        ft.replace(R.id.frame_layout_content, fm);
        ft.setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_FADE);
        if (addToBackStack) ft.addToBackStack(null);
        ft.commit();
    }

}

And how I change (replace) fragments from HomeFragment:

IndexDetailFragment newFragment = new IndexDetailFragment();
Bundle args = new Bundle();

args.putString(IndexDetailFragment.ARG_INDEX_ID, id);

newFragment.setArguments(args);

FragmentTransaction transaction = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
transaction.setCustomAnimations(R.anim.slide_in_right, R.anim.slide_out_left);
transaction.replace(R.id.frame_layout_content, newFragment);
transaction.addToBackStack(null);

transaction.commit();

Simplest solution for Kotlin Developers

Just add this in your root activity where fragments resist

if (supportFragmentManager.backStackEntryCount > 0) {
            supportActionBar!!.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true)
            toolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener {
                if (supportFragmentManager.backStackEntryCount > 0) {
                    super.onBackPressed()
                } else {
                    supportActionBar!!.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false)
                    drawerLayout.addDrawerListener(toggle)
                    toggle.syncState()
                    drawerLayout.openDrawer(GravityCompat.START)
                }
            }
        } else {
            supportActionBar!!.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false)
            drawerLayout.addDrawerListener(toggle)
            toggle.syncState()
        }

Here, whenever setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled is set true , I am showing back button. and on cliking it, I am calling super.onBackPressed() which is similar to what your back button does!

setNavigationOnClick() on the toolbar after setSupportActionBar(toolbar) :

setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
toolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Back clicked!",     
                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        });

I have made a small app for reference

FirstFragment

 public class FirstFragment extends Fragment {


public FirstFragment() {
    // Required empty public constructor
}


@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // Inflate the layout for this fragment
    return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_first, container, false);
}

}

SecondFragment

public class SecondFragment extends Fragment {


public SecondFragment() {
    // Required empty public constructor
}


@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // Inflate the layout for this fragment
    return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_second, container, false);
}

}

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    mToolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
    if (mToolbar != null) {
        setSupportActionBar(mToolbar);
    }
    getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

    mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer);
    drawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, mDrawerLayout, R.string.drawer_open, R.string.drawer_close) {
        @Override
        public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
            super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);
        }

        @Override

Answer 3

I had the same issue.

I finally solved by adding this in the onCreate method.

getSupportFragmentManager().addOnBackStackChangedListener(new FragmentManager.OnBackStackChangedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onBackStackChanged() {
            if(getSupportFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() == 0){
                drawer.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_UNLOCKED);
                menuToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(true);
            }else{
                drawer.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_LOCKED_CLOSED);
                menuToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(false);

            }
        }
    });

Hope it helps
