Android Fragment handle back button press

android, android-fragments

Solution

When you are transitioning between Fragments, call `addToBackStack()` as part of your `FragmentTransaction`:

FragmentTransaction tx = fragmentManager.beginTransation();
tx.replace( R.id.fragment, new MyFragment() ).addToBackStack( "tag" ).commit();

If you require more detailed control (i.e. when some Fragments are visible, you want to suppress the back key) you can set an `OnKeyListener` on the parent view of your fragment:

//You need to add the following line for this solution to work; thanks skayred
fragment.getView().setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
fragment.getView().requestFocus();
fragment.getView().setOnKeyListener( new OnKeyListener()
{
    @Override
    public boolean onKey( View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event )
    {
        if( keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK )
        {
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
} );

Problem

I have some fragments in my activity ``` [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6] ``` And on Back Button Press I must to return from [2] to [1] if current active fragment is [2], or do nothing otherwise. What is the best practise to do that? EDIT: Application must not return to [2] from [3]...[6]
