Fragment

This package is part of the Android support library which is no longer maintained. The support library has been superseded by AndroidX which is part of Jetpack. We recommend using the AndroidX libraries in all new projects. You should also consider migrating existing projects to AndroidX. To find the AndroidX class that maps to this deprecated class, see the AndroidX support library class mappings.

Static library support version of the framework's Fragment. Used to write apps that run on platforms prior to Android 3.0. When running on Android 3.0 or above, this implementation is still used; it does not try to switch to the framework's implementation. See the framework Fragment documentation for a class overview.

The main differences when using this support version instead of the framework version are:

• Your activity must extend FragmentActivity
• You must call getSupportFragmentManager() to get the FragmentManager

Public constructors

Fragment

added in version 22.1.0

Fragment ()

Default constructor. Every fragment must have an empty constructor, so it can be instantiated when restoring its activity's state. It is strongly recommended that subclasses do not have other constructors with parameters, since these constructors will not be called when the fragment is re-instantiated; instead, arguments can be supplied by the caller with setArguments(Bundle) and later retrieved by the Fragment with getArguments().

Applications should generally not implement a constructor. Prefer onAttach(Context) instead. It is the first place application code can run where the fragment is ready to be used - the point where the fragment is actually associated with its context. Some applications may also want to implement onInflate(Activity, AttributeSet, Bundle) to retrieve attributes from a layout resource, although note this happens when the fragment is attached.

Public methods

Print the Fragments's state into the given stream.

Parameters
prefix	String: Text to print at the front of each line.

Returns true if this fragment is added and its state has already been saved by its host. Any operations that would change saved state should not be performed if this method returns true, and some operations such as setArguments(Bundle) will fail.

Returns
boolean	true if this fragment's state has already been saved by its host

isVisible

added in version 22.1.0

boolean isVisible ()

Return true if the fragment is currently visible to the user. This means it: (1) has been added, (2) has its view attached to the window, and (3) is not hidden.

Returns
boolean

onActivityCreated

added in version 22.1.0

void onActivityCreated (Bundle savedInstanceState)

Called when the fragment's activity has been created and this fragment's view hierarchy instantiated. It can be used to do final initialization once these pieces are in place, such as retrieving views or restoring state. It is also useful for fragments that use setRetainInstance(boolean) to retain their instance, as this callback tells the fragment when it is fully associated with the new activity instance. This is called after onCreateView(LayoutInflater, ViewGroup, Bundle) and before onViewStateRestored(Bundle).

Parameters
savedInstanceState	Bundle: If the fragment is being re-created from a previous saved state, this is the state.

onActivityResult

added in version 22.1.0

void onActivityResult (int requestCode, 
                int resultCode, 
                Intent data)

Receive the result from a previous call to startActivityForResult(Intent, int). This follows the related Activity API as described there in onActivityResult(int, int, Intent).

Parameters
requestCode	int: The integer request code originally supplied to startActivityForResult(), allowing you to identify who this result came from.
resultCode	int: The integer result code returned by the child activity through its setResult().
data	Intent: An Intent, which can return result data to the caller (various data can be attached to Intent "extras").

onAttach

added in version 22.1.0

void onAttach (Activity activity)

This method was deprecated in API level 24.1.0.
See onAttach(Context).

Called when a fragment is first attached to its activity. onCreate(Bundle) will be called after this.

Parameters
activity	Activity

onAttach

added in version 24.1.0

void onAttach (Context context)

Called when a fragment is first attached to its context. onCreate(Bundle) will be called after this.

Parameters
context	Context

onAttachFragment

added in version 24.1.0

void onAttachFragment (Fragment childFragment)

Called when a fragment is attached as a child of this fragment.

This is called after the attached fragment's onAttach and before the attached fragment's onCreate if the fragment has not yet had a previous call to onCreate.

Parameters
childFragment	Fragment: child fragment being attached

onConfigurationChanged

added in version 22.1.0

void onConfigurationChanged (Configuration newConfig)

Parameters
newConfig	Configuration

onContextItemSelected

added in version 22.1.0

boolean onContextItemSelected (MenuItem item)

This hook is called whenever an item in a context menu is selected. The default implementation simply returns false to have the normal processing happen (calling the item's Runnable or sending a message to its Handler as appropriate). You can use this method for any items for which you would like to do processing without those other facilities.

Use getMenuInfo() to get extra information set by the View that added this menu item.

Derived classes should call through to the base class for it to perform the default menu handling.

Parameters
item	MenuItem: The context menu item that was selected.

Returns
boolean	boolean Return false to allow normal context menu processing to proceed, true to consume it here.

onCreate

added in version 22.1.0

void onCreate (Bundle savedInstanceState)

Called to do initial creation of a fragment. This is called after onAttach(Activity) and before onCreateView(LayoutInflater, ViewGroup, Bundle).

Note that this can be called while the fragment's activity is still in the process of being created. As such, you can not rely on things like the activity's content view hierarchy being initialized at this point. If you want to do work once the activity itself is created, see onActivityCreated(Bundle).

Any restored child fragments will be created before the base Fragment.onCreate method returns.

Parameters
savedInstanceState	Bundle: If the fragment is being re-created from a previous saved state, this is the state.

onCreateAnimation

added in version 22.1.0

Animation onCreateAnimation (int transit,
                boolean enter, 
                int nextAnim)

Called when a fragment loads an animation. Note that if setCustomAnimations(int, int) was called with Animator resources instead of Animation resources, nextAnim will be an animator resource.

Parameters
transit	int: The value set in setTransition(int) or 0 if not set.
enter	boolean: true when the fragment is added/attached/shown or false when the fragment is removed/detached/hidden.
nextAnim	int: The resource set in setCustomAnimations(int, int), setCustomAnimations(int, int, int, int), or 0 if neither was called. The value will depend on the current operation.

Returns
Animation

onCreateAnimator

added in version 26.1.0

Animator onCreateAnimator (int transit,
                boolean enter, 
                int nextAnim)

Called when a fragment loads an animator. This will be called when onCreateAnimation(int, boolean, int) returns null. Note that if setCustomAnimations(int, int) was called with Animation resources instead of Animator resources, nextAnim will be an animation resource.

Parameters
transit	int: The value set in setTransition(int) or 0 if not set.
enter	boolean: true when the fragment is added/attached/shown or false when the fragment is removed/detached/hidden.
nextAnim	int: The resource set in setCustomAnimations(int, int), setCustomAnimations(int, int, int, int), or 0 if neither was called. The value will depend on the current operation.

Returns
Animator

onCreateContextMenu

added in version 22.1.0

void onCreateContextMenu (ContextMenu menu,
                View v,
                ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo menuInfo)

Called when a context menu for the view is about to be shown. Unlike onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu, MenuInflater), this will be called every time the context menu is about to be shown and should be populated for the view (or item inside the view for AdapterView subclasses, this can be found in the menuInfo)).

Use onContextItemSelected(android.view.MenuItem) to know when an item has been selected.

The default implementation calls up to Activity.onCreateContextMenu, though you can not call this implementation if you don't want that behavior.

It is not safe to hold onto the context menu after this method returns.

Parameters
menu	ContextMenu
v	View
menuInfo	ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo

onCreateOptionsMenu

added in version 22.1.0

void onCreateOptionsMenu (Menu menu,
                MenuInflater inflater)

Initialize the contents of the Fragment host's standard options menu. You should place your menu items in to menu. For this method to be called, you must have first called setHasOptionsMenu(boolean). See Activity.onCreateOptionsMenu for more information.

Parameters
menu	Menu: The options menu in which you place your items.
inflater	MenuInflater

See also:

• setHasOptionsMenu(boolean)
• onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu)
• onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem)

onCreateView

added in version 22.1.0

View onCreateView (LayoutInflater inflater,
                ViewGroup container,
                Bundle savedInstanceState)

Called to have the fragment instantiate its user interface view. This is optional, and non-graphical fragments can return null (which is the default implementation). This will be called between onCreate(Bundle) and onActivityCreated(Bundle).

If you return a View from here, you will later be called in onDestroyView() when the view is being released.

Parameters
inflater	LayoutInflater: The LayoutInflater object that can be used to inflate any views in the fragment,
container	ViewGroup: If non-null, this is the parent view that the fragment's UI should be attached to. The fragment should not add the view itself, but this can be used to generate the LayoutParams of the view.
savedInstanceState	Bundle: If non-null, this fragment is being re-constructed from a previous saved state as given here.

Returns
View	Return the View for the fragment's UI, or null.

onDestroy

added in version 22.1.0

void onDestroy ()

Called when the fragment is no longer in use. This is called after onStop() and before onDetach().

onDestroyOptionsMenu

added in version 22.1.0

void onDestroyOptionsMenu ()

Called when this fragment's option menu items are no longer being included in the overall options menu. Receiving this call means that the menu needed to be rebuilt, but this fragment's items were not included in the newly built menu (its onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu, MenuInflater) was not called).

onDestroyView

added in version 22.1.0

void onDestroyView ()

Called when the view previously created by onCreateView(LayoutInflater, ViewGroup, Bundle) has been detached from the fragment. The next time the fragment needs to be displayed, a new view will be created. This is called after onStop() and before onDestroy(). It is called regardless of whether onCreateView(LayoutInflater, ViewGroup, Bundle) returned a non-null view. Internally it is called after the view's state has been saved but before it has been removed from its parent.

onDetach

added in version 22.1.0

void onDetach ()

Called when the fragment is no longer attached to its activity. This is called after onDestroy().

onGetLayoutInflater

added in version 25.4.0

LayoutInflater onGetLayoutInflater (Bundle savedInstanceState)

Returns the LayoutInflater used to inflate Views of this Fragment. The default implementation will throw an exception if the Fragment is not attached.

Parameters
savedInstanceState	Bundle: If the fragment is being re-created from a previous saved state, this is the state.

Returns
LayoutInflater	The LayoutInflater used to inflate Views of this Fragment.

onHiddenChanged

added in version 22.1.0

void onHiddenChanged (boolean hidden)

Called when the hidden state (as returned by isHidden() of the fragment has changed. Fragments start out not hidden; this will be called whenever the fragment changes state from that.

Parameters
hidden	boolean: True if the fragment is now hidden, false otherwise.

onInflate

added in version 22.1.0

void onInflate (Activity activity,
                AttributeSet attrs,
                Bundle savedInstanceState)

This method was deprecated in API level 24.1.0.
See onInflate(Context, AttributeSet, Bundle).

Called when a fragment is being created as part of a view layout inflation, typically from setting the content view of an activity.

Parameters
activity	Activity
attrs	AttributeSet
savedInstanceState	Bundle

onInflate

added in version 24.1.0

void onInflate (Context context,
                AttributeSet attrs,
                Bundle savedInstanceState)

Called when a fragment is being created as part of a view layout inflation, typically from setting the content view of an activity. This may be called immediately after the fragment is created from a tag in a layout file. Note this is before the fragment's onAttach(Activity) has been called; all you should do here is parse the attributes and save them away.

This is called every time the fragment is inflated, even if it is being inflated into a new instance with saved state. It typically makes sense to re-parse the parameters each time, to allow them to change with different configurations.

Here is a typical implementation of a fragment that can take parameters both through attributes supplied here as well from getArguments():

public static class MyFragment extends Fragment {
    CharSequence mLabel;

    /**
     * Create a new instance of MyFragment that will be initialized
     * with the given arguments.
     */
    static MyFragment newInstance(CharSequence label) {
        MyFragment f = new MyFragment();
        Bundle b = new Bundle();
        b.putCharSequence("label", label);
        f.setArguments(b);
        return f;
    }

    /**
     * Parse attributes during inflation from a view hierarchy into the
     * arguments we handle.
     */
    @Override
    public void onInflate(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onInflate(context, attrs, savedInstanceState);

        TypedArray a = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs,
                R.styleable.FragmentArguments);
        mLabel = a.getText(R.styleable.FragmentArguments_android_label);
        a.recycle();
    }

    /**
     * During creation, if arguments have been supplied to the fragment
     * then parse those out.
     */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        Bundle args = getArguments();
        if (args != null) {
            CharSequence label = args.getCharSequence("label");
            if (label != null) {
                mLabel = label;
            }
        }
    }

    /**
     * Create the view for this fragment, using the arguments given to it.
     */
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.hello_world, container, false);
        View tv = v.findViewById(R.id.text);
        ((TextView)tv).setText(mLabel != null ? mLabel : "(no label)");
        ViewCompat.setBackground(
                tv, ContextCompat.getDrawable(getContext(), android.R.drawable.gallery_thumb));
        return v;
    }
}

Note that parsing the XML attributes uses a "styleable" resource. The declaration for the styleable used here is:

<declare-styleable name="FragmentArguments">
    <attr name="android:label" />
</declare-styleable>

The fragment can then be declared within its activity's content layout through a tag like this:

<fragment class="com.example.android.supportv4.app.FragmentArgumentsSupport$MyFragment"
        android:id="@+id/embedded"
        android:layout_width="0px" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:label="@string/fragment_arguments_embedded" />

This fragment can also be created dynamically from arguments given at runtime in the arguments Bundle; here is an example of doing so at creation of the containing activity:

@Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.fragment_arguments_support);

    if (savedInstanceState == null) {
        // First-time init; create fragment to embed in activity.
        FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
        Fragment newFragment = MyFragment.newInstance("From Arguments");
        ft.add(R.id.created, newFragment);
        ft.commit();
    }
}

Parameters
context	Context: The Activity that is inflating this fragment.
attrs	AttributeSet: The attributes at the tag where the fragment is being created.
savedInstanceState	Bundle: If the fragment is being re-created from a previous saved state, this is the state.

onLowMemory

added in version 22.1.0

void onLowMemory ()

onMultiWindowModeChanged

added in version 24.1.0

void onMultiWindowModeChanged (boolean isInMultiWindowMode)

Called when the Fragment's activity changes from fullscreen mode to multi-window mode and visa-versa. This is generally tied to onMultiWindowModeChanged(boolean) of the containing Activity.

Parameters
isInMultiWindowMode	boolean: True if the activity is in multi-window mode.

onOptionsItemSelected

added in version 22.1.0

boolean onOptionsItemSelected (MenuItem item)

This hook is called whenever an item in your options menu is selected. The default implementation simply returns false to have the normal processing happen (calling the item's Runnable or sending a message to its Handler as appropriate). You can use this method for any items for which you would like to do processing without those other facilities.

Derived classes should call through to the base class for it to perform the default menu handling.

Parameters
item	MenuItem: The menu item that was selected.

Returns
boolean	boolean Return false to allow normal menu processing to proceed, true to consume it here.

See also:

• onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu, MenuInflater)

onOptionsMenuClosed

added in version 22.1.0

void onOptionsMenuClosed (Menu menu)

This hook is called whenever the options menu is being closed (either by the user canceling the menu with the back/menu button, or when an item is selected).

Parameters
menu	Menu: The options menu as last shown or first initialized by onCreateOptionsMenu().

onPause

added in version 22.1.0

void onPause ()

Called when the Fragment is no longer resumed. This is generally tied to Activity.onPause of the containing Activity's lifecycle.

onPictureInPictureModeChanged

added in version 24.1.0

void onPictureInPictureModeChanged (boolean isInPictureInPictureMode)

Called by the system when the activity changes to and from picture-in-picture mode. This is generally tied to onPictureInPictureModeChanged(boolean) of the containing Activity.

Parameters
isInPictureInPictureMode	boolean: True if the activity is in picture-in-picture mode.

onPrepareOptionsMenu

added in version 22.1.0

void onPrepareOptionsMenu (Menu menu)

Prepare the Fragment host's standard options menu to be displayed. This is called right before the menu is shown, every time it is shown. You can use this method to efficiently enable/disable items or otherwise dynamically modify the contents. See Activity.onPrepareOptionsMenu for more information.

Parameters
menu	Menu: The options menu as last shown or first initialized by onCreateOptionsMenu().

See also:

• setHasOptionsMenu(boolean)
• onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu, MenuInflater)

onRequestPermissionsResult

added in version 24.1.0

void onRequestPermissionsResult (int requestCode, 
                String[] permissions, 
                int[] grantResults)

Callback for the result from requesting permissions. This method is invoked for every call on requestPermissions(String[], int).

Note: It is possible that the permissions request interaction with the user is interrupted. In this case you will receive empty permissions and results arrays which should be treated as a cancellation.

Parameters
requestCode	int: The request code passed in requestPermissions(String[], int).
permissions	String: The requested permissions. Never null.
grantResults	int: The grant results for the corresponding permissions which is either PERMISSION_GRANTED or PERMISSION_DENIED. Never null.

See also:

• requestPermissions(String[], int)

onResume

added in version 22.1.0

void onResume ()

Called when the fragment is visible to the user and actively running. This is generally tied to Activity.onResume of the containing Activity's lifecycle.

onSaveInstanceState

added in version 22.1.0

void onSaveInstanceState (Bundle outState)

Called to ask the fragment to save its current dynamic state, so it can later be reconstructed in a new instance of its process is restarted. If a new instance of the fragment later needs to be created, the data you place in the Bundle here will be available in the Bundle given to onCreate(Bundle), onCreateView(LayoutInflater, ViewGroup, Bundle), and onActivityCreated(Bundle).

This corresponds to Activity.onSaveInstanceState(Bundle) and most of the discussion there applies here as well. Note however: this method may be called at any time before onDestroy(). There are many situations where a fragment may be mostly torn down (such as when placed on the back stack with no UI showing), but its state will not be saved until its owning activity actually needs to save its state.

Parameters
outState	Bundle: Bundle in which to place your saved state.

onStart

added in version 22.1.0

void onStart ()

Called when the Fragment is visible to the user. This is generally tied to Activity.onStart of the containing Activity's lifecycle.

onStop

added in version 22.1.0

void onStop ()

Called when the Fragment is no longer started. This is generally tied to Activity.onStop of the containing Activity's lifecycle.

onViewCreated

added in version 22.1.0

void onViewCreated (View view,
                Bundle savedInstanceState)

Called immediately after onCreateView(LayoutInflater, ViewGroup, Bundle) has returned, but before any saved state has been restored in to the view. This gives subclasses a chance to initialize themselves once they know their view hierarchy has been completely created. The fragment's view hierarchy is not however attached to its parent at this point.

Parameters
view	View: The View returned by onCreateView(LayoutInflater, ViewGroup, Bundle).
savedInstanceState	Bundle: If non-null, this fragment is being re-constructed from a previous saved state as given here.

onViewStateRestored

added in version 22.1.0

void onViewStateRestored (Bundle savedInstanceState)

Called when all saved state has been restored into the view hierarchy of the fragment. This can be used to do initialization based on saved state that you are letting the view hierarchy track itself, such as whether check box widgets are currently checked. This is called after onActivityCreated(Bundle) and before onStart().

Parameters
savedInstanceState	Bundle: If the fragment is being re-created from a previous saved state, this is the state.

postponeEnterTransition

added in version 25.1.0

void postponeEnterTransition ()

Postpone the entering Fragment transition until startPostponedEnterTransition() or executePendingTransactions() has been called.

This method gives the Fragment the ability to delay Fragment animations until all data is loaded. Until then, the added, shown, and attached Fragments will be INVISIBLE and removed, hidden, and detached Fragments won't be have their Views removed. The transaction runs when all postponed added Fragments in the transaction have called startPostponedEnterTransition().

This method should be called before being added to the FragmentTransaction or in {@link #onAttach(Context)}, or {@link #onCreateView(LayoutInflater, ViewGroup, Bundle)}. startPostponedEnterTransition() must be called to allow the Fragment to start the transitions.

When a FragmentTransaction is started that may affect a postponed FragmentTransaction, based on which containers are in their operations, the postponed FragmentTransaction will have its start triggered. The early triggering may result in faulty or nonexistent animations in the postponed transaction. FragmentTransactions that operate only on independent containers will not interfere with each other's postponement.

Calling postponeEnterTransition on Fragments with a null View will not postpone the transition. Likewise, postponement only works if FragmentTransaction reordering is enabled.

See also:

• postponeEnterTransition()
• setReorderingAllowed(boolean)

registerForContextMenu

added in version 22.1.0

void registerForContextMenu (View view)

Registers a context menu to be shown for the given view (multiple views can show the context menu). This method will set the View.OnCreateContextMenuListener on the view to this fragment, so onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu, View, ContextMenuInfo) will be called when it is time to show the context menu.

Parameters
view	View: The view that should show a context menu.

See also:

• unregisterForContextMenu(View)

requestPermissions

added in version 24.1.0

void requestPermissions (String[] permissions, 
                int requestCode)

Requests permissions to be granted to this application. These permissions must be requested in your manifest, they should not be granted to your app, and they should have protection level #PROTECTION_DANGEROUS dangerous, regardless whether they are declared by the platform or a third-party app.

Normal permissions PROTECTION_NORMAL are granted at install time if requested in the manifest. Signature permissions PROTECTION_SIGNATURE are granted at install time if requested in the manifest and the signature of your app matches the signature of the app declaring the permissions.

If your app does not have the requested permissions the user will be presented with UI for accepting them. After the user has accepted or rejected the requested permissions you will receive a callback on onRequestPermissionsResult(int, String[], int[]) reporting whether the permissions were granted or not.

Note that requesting a permission does not guarantee it will be granted and your app should be able to run without having this permission.

This method may start an activity allowing the user to choose which permissions to grant and which to reject. Hence, you should be prepared that your activity may be paused and resumed. Further, granting some permissions may require a restart of you application. In such a case, the system will recreate the activity stack before delivering the result to onRequestPermissionsResult(int, String[], int[]).

When checking whether you have a permission you should use checkSelfPermission(String).

Calling this API for permissions already granted to your app would show UI to the user to decided whether the app can still hold these permissions. This can be useful if the way your app uses the data guarded by the permissions changes significantly.

A sample permissions request looks like this:

 private void showContacts() {
     if (getActivity().checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS)
             != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
         requestPermissions(new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS},
                 PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_CONTACTS);
     } else {
         doShowContacts();
     }
 }

 @Override
 public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions,
         int[] grantResults) {
     if (requestCode == PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_CONTACTS
             && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
         doShowContacts();
     }
 }
 

Parameters
permissions	String: The requested permissions.
requestCode	int: Application specific request code to match with a result reported to onRequestPermissionsResult(int, String[], int[]).

• onRequestPermissionsResult(int, String[], int[])
• checkSelfPermission(String)

Parameters
allow	boolean: true to start the enter transition when possible or false to wait until the exiting transition completes.

setAllowReturnTransitionOverlap

added in version 22.1.0

setEnterSharedElementCallback

added in version 22.1.0

void setEnterSharedElementCallback (SharedElementCallback callback)

When custom transitions are used with Fragments, the enter transition callback is called when this Fragment is attached or detached when not popping the back stack.

Parameters
callback	SharedElementCallback: Used to manipulate the shared element transitions on this Fragment when added not as a pop from the back stack.

setEnterTransition

added in version 22.1.0

void setEnterTransition (Object transition)

Sets the Transition that will be used to move Views into the initial scene. The entering Views will be those that are regular Views or ViewGroups that have isTransitionGroup() return true. Typical Transitions will extend Visibility as entering is governed by changing visibility from INVISIBLE to VISIBLE. If transition is null, entering Views will remain unaffected.

Parameters
transition	Object: The Transition to use to move Views into the initial Scene.

setExitSharedElementCallback

added in version 22.1.0

void setExitSharedElementCallback (SharedElementCallback callback)

When custom transitions are used with Fragments, the exit transition callback is called when this Fragment is attached or detached when popping the back stack.

Parameters
callback	SharedElementCallback: Used to manipulate the shared element transitions on this Fragment when added as a pop from the back stack.

setExitTransition

added in version 22.1.0

void setExitTransition (Object transition)

Sets the Transition that will be used to move Views out of the scene when the fragment is removed, hidden, or detached when not popping the back stack. The exiting Views will be those that are regular Views or ViewGroups that have isTransitionGroup() return true. Typical Transitions will extend Visibility as exiting is governed by changing visibility from VISIBLE to INVISIBLE. If transition is null, the views will remain unaffected.

Parameters
transition	Object: The Transition to use to move Views out of the Scene when the Fragment is being closed not due to popping the back stack. transition must be an android.transition.Transition or android.support.transition.Transition.

setHasOptionsMenu

added in version 22.1.0

void setHasOptionsMenu (boolean hasMenu)

Report that this fragment would like to participate in populating the options menu by receiving a call to onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu, MenuInflater) and related methods.

Parameters
hasMenu	boolean: If true, the fragment has menu items to contribute.

setInitialSavedState

added in version 22.1.0

void setInitialSavedState (Fragment.SavedState state)

Set the initial saved state that this Fragment should restore itself from when first being constructed, as returned by FragmentManager.saveFragmentInstanceState.

Parameters
state	Fragment.SavedState: The state the fragment should be restored from.

setMenuVisibility

added in version 22.1.0

void setMenuVisibility (boolean menuVisible)

Set a hint for whether this fragment's menu should be visible. This is useful if you know that a fragment has been placed in your view hierarchy so that the user can not currently seen it, so any menu items it has should also not be shown.

Parameters
menuVisible	boolean: The default is true, meaning the fragment's menu will be shown as usual. If false, the user will not see the menu.

setReenterTransition

added in version 22.1.0

void setReenterTransition (Object transition)

Sets the Transition that will be used to move Views in to the scene when returning due to popping a back stack. The entering Views will be those that are regular Views or ViewGroups that have isTransitionGroup() return true. Typical Transitions will extend Visibility as exiting is governed by changing visibility from VISIBLE to INVISIBLE. If transition is null, the views will remain unaffected. If nothing is set, the default will be to use the same transition as setExitTransition(Object).

Parameters
transition	Object: The Transition to use to move Views into the scene when reentering from a previously-started Activity. transition must be an android.transition.Transition or android.support.transition.Transition.

setRetainInstance

added in version 22.1.0

void setRetainInstance (boolean retain)

Control whether a fragment instance is retained across Activity re-creation (such as from a configuration change). This can only be used with fragments not in the back stack. If set, the fragment lifecycle will be slightly different when an activity is recreated:

• onDestroy() will not be called (but onDetach() still will be, because the fragment is being detached from its current activity).
• onCreate(Bundle) will not be called since the fragment is not being re-created.
• onAttach(Activity) and onActivityCreated(Bundle) will still be called.

Parameters
retain	boolean

setReturnTransition

added in version 22.1.0

void setReturnTransition (Object transition)

Sets the Transition that will be used to move Views out of the scene when the Fragment is preparing to be removed, hidden, or detached because of popping the back stack. The exiting Views will be those that are regular Views or ViewGroups that have isTransitionGroup() return true. Typical Transitions will extend Visibility as entering is governed by changing visibility from VISIBLE to INVISIBLE. If transition is null, entering Views will remain unaffected. If nothing is set, the default will be to use the same value as set in setEnterTransition(Object).

Parameters
transition	Object: The Transition to use to move Views out of the Scene when the Fragment is preparing to close. transition must be an android.transition.Transition or android.support.transition.Transition.

setSharedElementEnterTransition

added in version 22.1.0

void setSharedElementEnterTransition (Object transition)

Sets the Transition that will be used for shared elements transferred into the content Scene. Typical Transitions will affect size and location, such as ChangeBounds. A null value will cause transferred shared elements to blink to the final position.

Parameters
transition	Object: The Transition to use for shared elements transferred into the content Scene. transition must be an android.transition.Transition or android.support.transition.Transition.

setSharedElementReturnTransition

added in version 22.1.0

void setSharedElementReturnTransition (Object transition)

Sets the Transition that will be used for shared elements transferred back during a pop of the back stack. This Transition acts in the leaving Fragment. Typical Transitions will affect size and location, such as ChangeBounds. A null value will cause transferred shared elements to blink to the final position. If no value is set, the default will be to use the same value as setSharedElementEnterTransition(Object).

Parameters
transition	Object: The Transition to use for shared elements transferred out of the content Scene. transition must be an android.transition.Transition or android.support.transition.Transition.

setTargetFragment

added in version 22.1.0

void setTargetFragment (Fragment fragment, 
                int requestCode)

Optional target for this fragment. This may be used, for example, if this fragment is being started by another, and when done wants to give a result back to the first. The target set here is retained across instances via FragmentManager.putFragment().

Parameters
fragment	Fragment: The fragment that is the target of this one.
requestCode	int: Optional request code, for convenience if you are going to call back with onActivityResult(int, int, Intent).

setUserVisibleHint

added in version 22.1.0

void setUserVisibleHint (boolean isVisibleToUser)

Set a hint to the system about whether this fragment's UI is currently visible to the user. This hint defaults to true and is persistent across fragment instance state save and restore.

An app may set this to false to indicate that the fragment's UI is scrolled out of visibility or is otherwise not directly visible to the user. This may be used by the system to prioritize operations such as fragment lifecycle updates or loader ordering behavior.

Note: This method may be called outside of the fragment lifecycle. and thus has no ordering guarantees with regard to fragment lifecycle method calls.

Parameters
isVisibleToUser	boolean: true if this fragment's UI is currently visible to the user (default), false if it is not.

shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale

added in version 24.1.0

boolean shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale (String permission)

Gets whether you should show UI with rationale for requesting a permission. You should do this only if you do not have the permission and the context in which the permission is requested does not clearly communicate to the user what would be the benefit from granting this permission.

For example, if you write a camera app, requesting the camera permission would be expected by the user and no rationale for why it is requested is needed. If however, the app needs location for tagging photos then a non-tech savvy user may wonder how location is related to taking photos. In this case you may choose to show UI with rationale of requesting this permission.

Parameters
permission	String: A permission your app wants to request.

Returns
boolean	Whether you can show permission rationale UI.
