Get back to a fragment from an Activity

android, android-activity, android-intent, fragment

Solution

You can add a TAG (A string name for the fragment basically) and then load the fragment using `findFragmentByTag().`

Google documentation for `findFragmentByTag()` is here.

Or you can also `addToBackStack()` while calling the fragment from `FragmentTransaction`, doc link here. from google docs:

"By calling addToBackStack(), the replace transaction is saved to the back stack so the user can reverse the transaction and bring back the previous fragment by pressing the Back button."

Problem

I have three fragment in an Activity C. they are behaving as tabs. I have to go from a fragment to a new Activity X. Now i want to come back to fragment from Activity X. I have override onBackPressed but don't know how to go back to fragment/not fragmentActivity from an Activity. if i want to go back to an Activity to another activity i override on back pressed and using intent call that actvity.. i want to do some thing like this .. this code is for coming back to previous activity ``` @Override public void onBackPressed() { Intent intent = new Intent(CurrentActivity.this,ActivityYouLikeToGo.class); intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT); startActivity(intent); } ``` thanks in Advance..
