Add fragment and update actionbar title

I know that question about refreshing actionbar title has already been answered. But my problem is quiet different.

I use fragments with add method and not with replace method for some reasons. So previous fragment are not destroy and when back, previous fragment aren't not recreating.

This is my configuration :

Fragment A with title "FragA" > Fragment B with title "FragB"

When I go back to Fragment A from Fragment B the actionbar title should be "FragA" but it stay "FragB". The problem is with add method Fragment A is not recreating and I didn't find event to refresh it.

The only simple solution I found for now is :

1- fragB.OnResume : save previous action bar title

2- fragB.OnDestroyView : restore previous actionbar title

With this solution, the result is ok, but I found this solution is not very clean. Is there a better way to refresh actionbartitle using add method with fragments ?

@Override public void onStop() { super.onStop(); ((AppCompatActivity) getActivity()).getSupportActionBar().setTitle("Title"); } Override the onStop() method in your current fragment, and gives the title name of your previous fragment.

Put a public static string called tag on your fragments, then use this where the tag is. More maintainability.

Why - This means if you want to change the tag, you only have to change it in one place, less refactoring. (Its used also on add, replace functions - see Rod's answer if confused)

My implementation of the solution is similar to how Rod solved the issue in his edited answer except a lot less code.

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    super.onBackPressed();
    try {
        if (getFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(FragA.tag) != null) {
            if (getFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(FragA.tag).isVisible()) {
                getActionBar().setTitle(R.string.FragA_title);
            }
        }

        if (getFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(FragB.tag) != null) {
            if (getFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(FragB.tag).isVisible()) {
                getActionBar().setTitle(R.string.FragB_title);
            }
        }
    }
    catch (NullPointerException e) {
    }
}

eg of static tag use

FragmentTransaction.add(int containerViewId, Fragment fragment, FragA.tag)

You can override your onBackPressed of your activity and each time you pressed it you then get the name of the fragment from the backstack to know which fragment you current at.

sample:

  @Override
   public void onBackPressed() {
    super.onBackPressed();

    int framentCount = this.getFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount();
    if(framentCount != 0)
    {
        FragmentManager.BackStackEntry backEntry=getFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryAt(framentCount-1);
        String str=backEntry.getName(); //the tag of the fragment
        if(str.equals("fragA"))
            //set the actionbar title to FragA
        else if(str.equals("fragB"))
            //set the actionbar title to FragB
    }

     FragA myFragA = (FragA)getFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("MY_FRAGMENTA_A_TAG");
     if (myFragA.isVisible()) {
           //action bar.title="title first fragment"
     }
   }

Now to know which fragment is which you need to put a tag to your fragment when you add / replace it to the backstack. Also make sure that you call addToBackStack to put the fragments to the backstack.

FragmentTransaction.add(int containerViewId, Fragment fragment, String tag)
FragmentTransaction.replace(int containerViewId, Fragment fragment, String tag)

Call the below line of code in all your fragments onResume() callback. you wouldnt need to save the title.

((YourFragmentActivity) getActivity()).setActionBarTitle(YOUR_TITLE);

it should help.
