Nested Fragments using support library v4 revision 11

Timothée Jeannin picture Timothée Jeannin · Nov 14, 2012 · Viewed 9k times · Source

The last revision of the support library from this morning (Android Support Package v4 revision 11) is supposed to support nested fragments.

In my project I have a fragment that contains a ViewPager and this ViewPager contains several fragments.

I'm calling getSupportFragmentManager() instead of getFragmentManager to use the FragmentManager of the support library.

The problem is I'm still experiencing crashes like :

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Recursive entry to executePendingTransactions

Is there anything I'm doing wrong ? Or the support doesn't support nested fragments for real ?

My transactions are as simple as this:

getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
                    .replace(R.id.content, new MyFragment()).commit();

Try using getChildFragmentManager() instead of getSupportFragmentManager(). this should help
