Is there any way to detect if fragment is showing to user or not?

Here are simple steps.

step1 : fragment1 was showing and it's already added to Backstack
step2 : fragment2 is added to Backstack and showing it now
step3 : fragment2 is removed from Backstack

So finally, fragment1 is showing again to user. In this situation, is there anyway to detect if fragment1 is showing again inner fragment1?

I tried with OnResume() but it doesn't work.

Thanks for answers!

I think there are 2 options

Try to override this behaviour and see if it works

void onHiddenChanged (boolean hidden)

As per documented here

Or Other option is to onStart() / onResume() callback of lifecycle try to observe behaviour of fragments visibility state.

boolean isVisible ()

As per documented here

When you add the fragment in your transaction you should use a tag.

fragTrans.replace(android.R.id.content, myFragment, "MY_FRAGMENT");

...and later if you want to check if the fragment is visible:

MyFragment myFragment = (MyFragment)getFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("MY_FRAGMENT");
if (myFragment != null && myFragment.isVisible()) {
   // add your code here
}

See also http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Fragment.html

I just copied this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/9295085/7232310 because I think is what you need. Otherwise you can check the following answers on the same question.

Hope it helps!

Try onAttach(), this is to trigger if the fragment is showed. onDetach() is to detect if the fragment is leaving the user interface.

For example: you have 3 fragment(frag1,frag2,frag3), every fragment you need to put the onAttach()

frag1 
@Override
    public void onAttach(Context context) {
        super.onAttach(context);
        Toast.makeText(context, "I'm frag 1", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

Fragment currentFragment = getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.fragment_container);

if (currentFragment instanceof YourFragment) {

if(currentFragment.this.isVisible())
{
  //your code
}
}
