Programmatically go back to the previous fragment in the backstack
android, android-fragments, back-stack
Solution
Look at the `getFragmentManager().popBackStack()` methods (there are several to choose from)

Problem
Say I have an activity that has fragments added programmatically: ``` private void animateToFragment(Fragment newFragment, String tag) { FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction(); ft.replace(R.id.fragment_container, newFragment, tag); ft.addToBackStack(null); ft.commit(); } ``` What is the best way to return to the previous fragment that was visible? I found Trigger back-button functionality on button click in Android but I'm thinking simulating a back key event isn't the right way to go about it (and I can't get it to work either): ``` dispatchKeyEvent(new KeyEvent(KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK)); ``` Calling `finish()` just closes the activity which I'm not interested in. Is there a better way to go about this?
