I'm not quite sure if this question is still bothering you, since it has been several months. But I would like to share how I dealt with this.
Here is the source code:
int FLAG = 0;
private View rootView;
private LinearLayout parentView;
/**
* The fragment argument representing the section number for this fragment.
*/
private static final String ARG_SECTION_NUMBER = "section_number";
/**
* Returns a new instance of this fragment for the given section number.
*/
public static Fragment2 newInstance(Bundle bundle) {
Fragment2 fragment = new Fragment2();
Bundle args = bundle;
fragment.setArguments(args);
return fragment;
}
public Fragment2() {
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState);
Log.e("onCreateView","onCreateView");
if(FLAG!=12321){
rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_create_new_album, container, false);
changeFLAG(12321);
}
parentView=new LinearLayout(getActivity());
parentView.addView(rootView);
return parentView;
}
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see android.support.v4.app.Fragment#onDestroy()
*/
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onDestroy();
Log.e("onDestroy","onDestroy");
}
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see android.support.v4.app.Fragment#onStart()
*/
@Override
public void onStart() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onStart();
Log.e("onstart","onstart");
}
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see android.support.v4.app.Fragment#onStop()
*/
@Override
public void onStop() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onStop();
if(false){
Bundle savedInstance=getArguments();
LinearLayout viewParent;
viewParent= (LinearLayout) rootView.getParent();
viewParent.removeView(rootView);
}
parentView.removeView(rootView);
Log.e("onStop","onstop");
}
@Override
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
Log.e("onpause","onpause");
}
@Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
Log.e("onResume","onResume");
}
And here is the MainActivity:
/**
* Fragment managing the behaviors, interactions and presentation of the
* navigation drawer.
*/
private NavigationDrawerFragment mNavigationDrawerFragment;
/**
* Used to store the last screen title. For use in
* {@link #restoreActionBar()}.
*/
public static boolean fragment2InstanceExists=false;
public static Fragment2 fragment2=null;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mNavigationDrawerFragment = (NavigationDrawerFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.navigation_drawer);
mTitle = getTitle();
// Set up the drawer.
mNavigationDrawerFragment.setUp(R.id.navigation_drawer,
(DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout));
}
@Override
public void onNavigationDrawerItemSelected(int position) {
// update the main content by replacing fragments
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction=fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
switch(position){
case 0:
fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.container, Fragment1.newInstance(position+1)).commit();
break;
case 1:
Bundle bundle=new Bundle();
bundle.putInt("source_of_create",CommonMethods.CREATE_FROM_ACTIVITY);
if(!fragment2InstanceExists){
fragment2=Fragment2.newInstance(bundle);
fragment2InstanceExists=true;
}
fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.container, fragment2).commit();
break;
case 2:
fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.container, FolderExplorerFragment.newInstance(position+1)).commit();
break;
default:
break;
}
}
The parentView is the keypoint.
Normally, when onCreateView, we just use return rootView. But now, I add rootView to parentView, and then return parentView. To prevent "The specified child already has a parent. You must call removeView() on the ..." error, we need to call "parentView.removeView(rootView)", or the method I supplied is useless.
I also would like to share how I found it. Firstly, I set up a boolean to indicate if the instance exists. When the instance exists, the rootView will not be inflated again. But then, logcat gave the child already has a parent thing, so I decided to use another parent as a intermediate Parent View. That's how it works.
Hope it's helpful to you.
