Added in API level 11

public abstract FragmentTransaction add (Fragment fragment, 
                String tag)

Calls add(int, android.app.Fragment, java.lang.String) with a 0 containerViewId.

Parameters

tag	String

Returns
FragmentTransaction

add

Added in API level 11

public abstract FragmentTransaction add (int containerViewId, 
                Fragment fragment)

Calls add(int, android.app.Fragment, java.lang.String) with a null tag.

Parameters

fragment	Fragment

Returns
FragmentTransaction

add

Added in API level 11

public abstract FragmentTransaction add (int containerViewId, 
                Fragment fragment, 
                String tag)

Add a fragment to the activity state. This fragment may optionally also have its view (if Fragment.onCreateView returns non-null) inserted into a container view of the activity.

Parameters
containerViewId	int: Optional identifier of the container this fragment is to be placed in. If 0, it will not be placed in a container.
fragment	Fragment: The fragment to be added. This fragment must not already be added to the activity.
tag	String: Optional tag name for the fragment, to later retrieve the fragment with FragmentManager.findFragmentByTag(String).

Returns
FragmentTransaction	Returns the same FragmentTransaction instance.

addSharedElement

Added in API level 21
Deprecated in API level 28

public abstract FragmentTransaction addSharedElement (View sharedElement, 
                String name)

Used with to map a View from a removed or hidden Fragment to a View from a shown or added Fragment.

Parameters
sharedElement	View: A View in a disappearing Fragment to match with a View in an appearing Fragment.
name	String: The transitionName for a View in an appearing Fragment to match to the shared element.

Returns
FragmentTransaction

addToBackStack

Added in API level 11

public abstract FragmentTransaction addToBackStack (String name)

Add this transaction to the back stack. This means that the transaction will be remembered after it is committed, and will reverse its operation when later popped off the stack.

Parameters
name	String: An optional name for this back stack state, or null.

Returns
FragmentTransaction

attach

Added in API level 13
Deprecated in API level 28

public abstract FragmentTransaction attach (Fragment fragment)

Re-attach a fragment after it had previously been detached from the UI with detach(android.app.Fragment). This causes its view hierarchy to be re-created, attached to the UI, and displayed.

Parameters
fragment	Fragment: The fragment to be attached.

Returns
FragmentTransaction	Returns the same FragmentTransaction instance.

commit

Added in API level 11

public abstract int commit ()

Schedules a commit of this transaction. The commit does not happen immediately; it will be scheduled as work on the main thread to be done the next time that thread is ready.

A transaction can only be committed with this method prior to its containing activity saving its state. If the commit is attempted after that point, an exception will be thrown. This is because the state after the commit can be lost if the activity needs to be restored from its state. See commitAllowingStateLoss() for situations where it may be okay to lose the commit.

Returns
int	Returns the identifier of this transaction's back stack entry, if addToBackStack(java.lang.String) had been called. Otherwise, returns a negative number.

commitAllowingStateLoss

Added in API level 11

public abstract int commitAllowingStateLoss ()

Like commit() but allows the commit to be executed after an activity's state is saved. This is dangerous because the commit can be lost if the activity needs to later be restored from its state, so this should only be used for cases where it is okay for the UI state to change unexpectedly on the user.

Returns
int

commitNow

Added in API level 24
Deprecated in API level 28

public abstract void commitNow ()

Commits this transaction synchronously. Any added fragments will be initialized and brought completely to the lifecycle state of their host and any removed fragments will be torn down accordingly before this call returns. Committing a transaction in this way allows fragments to be added as dedicated, encapsulated components that monitor the lifecycle state of their host while providing firmer ordering guarantees around when those fragments are fully initialized and ready. Fragments that manage views will have those views created and attached.

Calling commitNow is preferable to calling commit() followed by FragmentManager#executePendingTransactions() as the latter will have the side effect of attempting to commit all currently pending transactions whether that is the desired behavior or not.

Transactions committed in this way may not be added to the FragmentManager's back stack, as doing so would break other expected ordering guarantees for other asynchronously committed transactions. This method will throw IllegalStateException if the transaction previously requested to be added to the back stack with addToBackStack(java.lang.String).

A transaction can only be committed with this method prior to its containing activity saving its state. If the commit is attempted after that point, an exception will be thrown. This is because the state after the commit can be lost if the activity needs to be restored from its state. See commitAllowingStateLoss() for situations where it may be okay to lose the commit.

commitNowAllowingStateLoss

Added in API level 24
Deprecated in API level 28

public abstract void commitNowAllowingStateLoss ()

Like commitNow() but allows the commit to be executed after an activity's state is saved. This is dangerous because the commit can be lost if the activity needs to later be restored from its state, so this should only be used for cases where it is okay for the UI state to change unexpectedly on the user.

detach

Added in API level 13
Deprecated in API level 28

public abstract FragmentTransaction detach (Fragment fragment)

Detach the given fragment from the UI. This is the same state as when it is put on the back stack: the fragment is removed from the UI, however its state is still being actively managed by the fragment manager. When going into this state its view hierarchy is destroyed.

Parameters
fragment	Fragment: The fragment to be detached.

Returns
FragmentTransaction	Returns the same FragmentTransaction instance.

disallowAddToBackStack

Added in API level 11

public abstract FragmentTransaction disallowAddToBackStack ()

Disallow calls to addToBackStack(java.lang.String). Any future calls to addToBackStack will throw IllegalStateException. If addToBackStack has already been called, this method will throw IllegalStateException.

Returns
FragmentTransaction

hide

Added in API level 11

public abstract FragmentTransaction hide (Fragment fragment)

Hides an existing fragment. This is only relevant for fragments whose views have been added to a container, as this will cause the view to be hidden.

Parameters
fragment	Fragment: The fragment to be hidden.

Returns
FragmentTransaction	Returns the same FragmentTransaction instance.

isAddToBackStackAllowed

Added in API level 11

public abstract boolean isAddToBackStackAllowed ()

Returns true if this FragmentTransaction is allowed to be added to the back stack. If this method would return false, addToBackStack(java.lang.String) will throw IllegalStateException.

Returns
boolean	True if addToBackStack(java.lang.String) is permitted on this transaction.

isEmpty

Added in API level 11

public abstract boolean isEmpty ()

Returns
boolean	true if this transaction contains no operations, false otherwise.

remove

Added in API level 11

public abstract FragmentTransaction remove (Fragment fragment)

Remove an existing fragment. If it was added to a container, its view is also removed from that container.

Parameters
fragment	Fragment: The fragment to be removed.

Returns
FragmentTransaction	Returns the same FragmentTransaction instance.

replace

Added in API level 11

public abstract FragmentTransaction replace (int containerViewId, 
                Fragment fragment, 
                String tag)

Replace an existing fragment that was added to a container. This is essentially the same as calling remove(android.app.Fragment) for all currently added fragments that were added with the same containerViewId and then add(int, android.app.Fragment, java.lang.String) with the same arguments given here.

Parameters
containerViewId	int: Identifier of the container whose fragment(s) are to be replaced.
fragment	Fragment: The new fragment to place in the container.
tag	String: Optional tag name for the fragment, to later retrieve the fragment with FragmentManager.findFragmentByTag(String).

Returns
FragmentTransaction	Returns the same FragmentTransaction instance.

replace

Added in API level 11

public abstract FragmentTransaction replace (int containerViewId, 
                Fragment fragment)

Calls replace(int, android.app.Fragment, java.lang.String) with a null tag.

Parameters
containerViewId	int
fragment	Fragment

Returns
FragmentTransaction

runOnCommit

Added in API level 26
Deprecated in API level 28

public abstract FragmentTransaction runOnCommit (Runnable runnable)

Add a Runnable to this transaction that will be run after this transaction has been committed. If fragment transactions are optimized this may be after other subsequent fragment operations have also taken place, or operations in this transaction may have been optimized out due to the presence of a subsequent fragment transaction in the batch.

If a transaction is committed using commitAllowingStateLoss() this runnable may be executed when the FragmentManager is in a state where new transactions may not be committed without allowing state loss.

runOnCommit may not be used with transactions added to the back stack as Runnables cannot be persisted with back stack state. IllegalStateException will be thrown if addToBackStack(java.lang.String) has been previously called for this transaction or if it is called after a call to runOnCommit.

Parameters
runnable	Runnable: Runnable to add

Returns
FragmentTransaction	this FragmentTransaction

Throws
IllegalStateException	if addToBackStack(java.lang.String) has been called

setBreadCrumbShortTitle

Added in API level 11

public abstract FragmentTransaction setBreadCrumbShortTitle (int res)

Set the short title to show as a bread crumb when this transaction is on the back stack, as used by FragmentBreadCrumbs.

Parameters
res	int: A string resource containing the title.

Returns
FragmentTransaction

setBreadCrumbShortTitle

Added in API level 11

public abstract FragmentTransaction setBreadCrumbShortTitle (CharSequence text)

Like setBreadCrumbShortTitle(int) but taking a raw string; this method is not recommended, as the string can not be changed later if the locale changes.

Parameters
text	CharSequence

Returns
FragmentTransaction

setBreadCrumbTitle

Added in API level 11

public abstract FragmentTransaction setBreadCrumbTitle (int res)

Set the full title to show as a bread crumb when this transaction is on the back stack, as used by FragmentBreadCrumbs.

Parameters
res	int: A string resource containing the title.

Returns
FragmentTransaction

setBreadCrumbTitle

Added in API level 11

public abstract FragmentTransaction setBreadCrumbTitle (CharSequence text)

Like setBreadCrumbTitle(int) but taking a raw string; this method is not recommended, as the string can not be changed later if the locale changes.

Parameters
text	CharSequence

Returns
FragmentTransaction

setCustomAnimations

Added in API level 13
Deprecated in API level 28

public abstract FragmentTransaction setCustomAnimations (int enter, 
                int exit, 
                int popEnter, 
                int popExit)

Set specific animation resources to run for the fragments that are entering and exiting in this transaction. The popEnter and popExit animations will be played for enter/exit operations specifically when popping the back stack.

Parameters
enter	int
exit	int
popEnter	int
popExit	int

Returns
FragmentTransaction

setCustomAnimations

Added in API level 11

public abstract FragmentTransaction setCustomAnimations (int enter, 
                int exit)

Set specific animation resources to run for the fragments that are entering and exiting in this transaction. These animations will not be played when popping the back stack.

Parameters
enter	int
exit	int

Returns
FragmentTransaction

setPrimaryNavigationFragment

Added in API level 26
Deprecated in API level 28

public abstract FragmentTransaction setPrimaryNavigationFragment (Fragment fragment)

Set a currently active fragment in this FragmentManager as the primary navigation fragment.

The primary navigation fragment's child FragmentManager will be called first to process delegated navigation actions such as FragmentManager#popBackStack() if no ID or transaction name is provided to pop to. Navigation operations outside of the fragment system may choose to delegate those actions to the primary navigation fragment as returned by FragmentManager#getPrimaryNavigationFragment().

The fragment provided must currently be added to the FragmentManager to be set as a primary navigation fragment, or previously added as part of this transaction.

Parameters
fragment	Fragment: the fragment to set as the primary navigation fragment

Returns
FragmentTransaction	the same FragmentTransaction instance

setReorderingAllowed

Added in API level 26
Deprecated in API level 28

public abstract FragmentTransaction setReorderingAllowed (boolean reorderingAllowed)

Sets whether or not to allow optimizing operations within and across transactions. This will remove redundant operations, eliminating operations that cancel. For example, if two transactions are executed together, one that adds a fragment A and the next replaces it with fragment B, the operations will cancel and only fragment B will be added. That means that fragment A may not go through the creation/destruction lifecycle.

The side effect of removing redundant operations is that fragments may have state changes out of the expected order. For example, one transaction adds fragment A, a second adds fragment B, then a third removes fragment A. Without removing the redundant operations, fragment B could expect that while it is being created, fragment A will also exist because fragment A will be removed after fragment B was added. With removing redundant operations, fragment B cannot expect fragment A to exist when it has been created because fragment A's add/remove will be optimized out.

It can also reorder the state changes of Fragments to allow for better Transitions. Added Fragments may have Fragment#onCreate(Bundle) called before replaced Fragments have Fragment#onDestroy() called.

The default is false for applications targeting version versions prior to O and true for applications targeting O and later.

Parameters
reorderingAllowed	boolean: true to enable optimizing out redundant operations or false to disable optimizing out redundant operations on this transaction.

Returns
FragmentTransaction

setTransition

Added in API level 11

public abstract FragmentTransaction setTransition (int transit)

Select a standard transition animation for this transaction. May be one of TRANSIT_NONE, TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_OPEN, TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_CLOSE, or TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_FADE.

Parameters
transit	int: Value is TRANSIT_NONE, TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_OPEN, TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_CLOSE, or TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_FADE

Returns
FragmentTransaction

setTransitionStyle

Added in API level 11

public abstract FragmentTransaction setTransitionStyle (int styleRes)

Set a custom style resource that will be used for resolving transit animations.

Parameters
styleRes	int

Returns
FragmentTransaction

show

Added in API level 11

public abstract FragmentTransaction show (Fragment fragment)

Shows a previously hidden fragment. This is only relevant for fragments whose views have been added to a container, as this will cause the view to be shown.

Parameters
fragment	Fragment: The fragment to be shown.

Returns
FragmentTransaction	Returns the same FragmentTransaction instance.
