Android Open Fragment over ViewPager

I'm new to android programming and I'm trying to make an app that uses tabs in a viewpager from one main fragmentactivity. The viewpager and tabs work fine but I want to have an options menu that when an item is selected, opens a completely new fragment, but I don't seem to be able to remove the view pager. I would like to just be able to put the new fragment over the viewpager on the main screen but trying to do that with a fragmenttransaction doesn't seem to work

Any ideas?

Thank you for your time

Ensure that:

1) your Fragment (e.g.: ViewPagerFragment1), which will be selected by the viewpager, has a FrameLayout as root layout with the id "container" e.g:

<FrameLayout
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:id="@+id/container"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

       <LinearLayout.... and so on
</FrameLayout>

2) Inside the ViewPagerFragment1 class, you have to replace/add the new fragment to the FrameLayout after an action has been triggered. E.g.:

 @Override
public void onClick(View view) {
    switch (view.getId()) {
        case R.id.selection:
            // Create new fragment and transaction
            NewFragment newFragment = new NewFragment();
            FragmentTransaction transaction = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();

            transaction.replace(R.id.container, newFragment, "NewFragment");
            transaction.addToBackStack(null);

            transaction.commit();
            break;
         default:
            break;
    }
}

Well, you will be adding the Fragment to some FrameLayout using the ID of the FrameLayout I assume. Just make sure the FrameLayout you are adding the Fragment to is on top of the ViewPager.

For example if both the ViewPager and FrameLayout are in a RelativeLayout container then make sure the FrameLayout is declared below the ViewPager in the XML. This will stack the FragmeLayout on top of the ViewPager. When the Fragment is added to the FrameLayout it will be drawn on top.
