Removing Fragment by clicking/touching outside:

Question

I have some fragments that are added and removed from a `RelativeLayout` dynamically using code. one of the Fragments is a `ListFragment`, and as oppose to other my fragments that have a Close and Save Buttons this one contains only a list. My goal is to close/remove this fragment by clicking outside of it on any place in the activity. I have found the following code: ``` @Override public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) { // I only care if the event is an UP action if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) { // create a rect for storing the window rect Rect r = new Rect(0, 0, 0, 0); // retrieve the windows rect this.getWindow().getDecorView().getHitRect(r); // check if the event position is inside the window rect boolean intersects = r.contains((int) event.getX(), (int) event.getY()); // if the event is not inside then we can close the activity if (!intersects) { // close the activity this.finish(); // notify that we consumed this event return true; } } // let the system…

Accepted Answer

Well I have finally figured this out:

```
@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent ( MotionEvent event ) 
{
    // I only care if the event is an UP action
    if ( event.getAction () == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP ) 
    {
        //and only is the ListFragment shown.
        if (isListFragmentShown)
        {   
            // create a rect for storing the fragment window rect
            Rect r = new Rect ( 0, 0, 0, 0 );
            // retrieve the fragment's windows rect
            currentFragment.getView().getHitRect(r);
            // check if the event position is inside the window rect
            boolean intersects = r.contains ( (int) event.getX (), (int) event.getY () );
            // if the event is not inside then we can close the fragment
            if ( !intersects ) {
                Log.d(TAG, "pressed outside the listFragment");
                FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction;
                fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
                fragmentTransaction.remove(currentFragment).commit();
                // notify that we consumed this event
                return true;
            }
        }
    }
    //let the system handle the event
    return super.onTouchEvent ( event );
}
```
