Android replace fragment still displays some of the replaced fragment
android, android-fragments
Solution
I figured out my problem. Marco wasn't exactly right but he pointed me in the right direction.
The problem was the the container ID I was passing to the replace method was the ID of the fragment I was replacing, not the ID of the fragment container. This seems to explain why some of the original fragment controls were remaining after the replace - that entire fragment wasn't being replaced.
I changed it to get the fragment container view ID, and that worked! Here's the code:
transaction.replace(((ViewGroup)(getView().getParent())).getId(), fragment);
I found the answer for getting the container view ID of a fragment here, Get fragment's container view id.
Problem
I have a tab that contains a linear layout with a searchview and a listview. When the user clicks one of the search results, I want to replace that layout with another layout containing the details of the selection. What happens when I replace the search fragment only the listview portion of the layout gets replaced; the searchview is still visible and active on the screen. Here is my search layout: ``` <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/search_layout" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical" > <SearchView android:id="@+id/public_calendar_search" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:iconifiedByDefault="false" </SearchView> <ListView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@android:id/list" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1.0" android:choiceMode="singleChoice" /> <TextView android:id="@android:id/empty" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:gravity="center"/> </LinearLayout> ``` Here is the detail layout: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/detail_layout" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical" > <LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:baselineAligned="false" android:orientation="vertical" > <Space android:layout_width="0dip" android:layout_height="20dip" android:layout_weight="1" /> </LinearLayout> <LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:baselineAligned="false" android:orientation="horizontal" > <Space android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_weight=".1" /> <TextView android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight=".8" android:text="@string/label_Name" /> <Space android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_weight=".1" /> </LinearLayout> ......... </LinearLayout> ``` And my code to replace the search fragment: ``` FragmentTransaction transaction = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction(); // Replace whatever is in the fragment_container view with this fragment, // and add the transaction to the back stack. DetailFragment fragment = DetailFragment.newInstance(cal); transaction.replace(R.id.search_layout, fragment); transaction.addToBackStack(null); transaction.commit(); ``` Detail fragment creation: ``` public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) { View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.detail_layout, container, false); return v; } static DetailFragment newInstance(String cal) { DetailFragment d = new DetailFragment(); return d; } ``` What am I doing wrong? How can I get the entire search layout to be replaced. Thanks!
