To remove a fragment, you first need to get a reference to it. You can’t safely save fragment references as persistent fields, because those references will be lost during configuration changes. But you can find a current fragment in a couple of ways - by the id of the fragment’s container, or by a string you provide known as a “tag”.
- [Narrator] To remove a fragment from an activity,…you first need to get a reference to it.…Now, you can't safely save fragment references as…persistent fields, because those references can be…lost during configuration changes.…I'm going to demonstrate this in this project,…named remove with Java.…In this project activity layout, I've added…a second button, and I've labeled it remove.…Now I have two buttons, each with their…own unique click handlers.…The click handler for the remove button right now…doesn't have any code in it.…
Right now, in my on create method,…I'm returning the reference to my simple fragment object,…and saving it as a persistent field.…Then, I'm successfully adding the fragment at runtime.…I'm going to add a bit of code here…to the remove click handler method.…I'll add an if block, and my condition will be…if fragment isn't null.…Then, within the conditional block,…I'll call get support fragment manager,…then I'll be in a transaction, then I'll call remove,…and I'll pass in the fragment reference,…
