Manage toolbar's navigation and back button from fragment in android

Abhishek Dhiman picture Abhishek Dhiman · Apr 10, 2015 · Viewed 109.7k times · Source

All of my fragments are controlled through ActionBarActivity (mainActivity), inside mainActivity a DrawerLayout is implemented and all the child fragments are pushed through drawerLayout's list item click. The problem that I'm facing is after pushing a fragment through drawerLayout I want to change the drawer icon into back icon of ToolBar so that user can navigate to previous fragment and to handle the callback of android.R.id.home either inside the same fragment or inside the mainActivity.

The code that I am using is:

MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
    private DrawerLayout layoutDrawer;
    private ActionBarDrawerToggle drawerToggler;
    private Stack<Fragment> stack;

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

        Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
        stack = new Stack<Fragment>();
        layoutDrawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.layout_drawer);
        drawerToggler = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, layoutDrawer, toolbar,
                R.string.app_name, R.string.app_name);
        layoutDrawer.setDrawerListener(drawerToggler);

        setUpDrawerList();
        pushFragment(new FirstFragment(), true);

        Session.setContext(getApplicationContext());
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        if (drawerToggler.isDrawerIndicatorEnabled()
                && drawerToggler.onOptionsItemSelected(item))
            return true;
        switch (item.getItemId()) {
        case android.R.id.home:
            Toast.makeText(this, "Back from activity", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                    .show();
            return true;
        }
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
        drawerToggler.syncState();
    }

    @Override
    public void onBackPressed() {
        popFragment();
    }

    private void setUpDrawerList() {
        ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list_drawer);
        ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
                android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,
                Arrays.asList(new String[] { "First Fragment",
                        "Second Fragment" }));
        listView.setAdapter(adapter);
        listView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
                    int position, long id) {
                layoutDrawer.closeDrawers();
                drawerToggler.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(false);
                getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
                pushFragment(getFragment(position), true);
            }
        });
    }

    private Fragment getFragment(int pos) {
        switch (pos) {
        case 0:
            return new FirstFragment();
        case 1:
            return new SecondFragment();
        }
        return null;
    }

    public void pushFragment(Fragment fragment, boolean add) {
        FragmentTransaction transation = getSupportFragmentManager()
                .beginTransaction();
        if (add)
            stack.push(fragment);
        transation.replace(R.id.layout_content, fragment);
        transation.commit();
    }

    public void popFragment() {
        if (!stack.isEmpty()) {
            Fragment fragment = stack.elementAt(stack.size() - 2);
            stack.pop();
            pushFragment(fragment, false);
        } else
            super.onBackPressed();
        drawerToggler.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(stack.size() == 1);
    }

    public void clearBackStack() {
        stack.clear();
    }
}

FirstFragment.java

public class FirstFragment extends Fragment {

    @Override
    public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
        setHasOptionsMenu(true);
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_first, container, false);
    }

    @Override
    public void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        ActionBar actionBar = ((ActionBarActivity)getActivity()).getSupportActionBar();
        actionBar.setTitle("First Fragment");
        actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
        actionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
        super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
        menu.clear();
        inflater.inflate(R.menu.fragment_menu, menu);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        switch(item.getItemId()) {
        case android.R.id.home:
            Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Back from fragment", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            getActivity().onBackPressed();
            return true;
        }
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

From the above code I am not able to get the callback of android.R.id.home and setting home button is not working everytime actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true); actionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(true);

Any help will be really appreciated.

Thanks

Add a toolbar to your xml

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
    android:id="@+id/toolbar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
    android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
    android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.ActionBar"
    app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Fragment title"/>

</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

Then inside your onCreateView method in the Fragment:

Toolbar toolbar = view.findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
toolbar.setNavigationIcon(R.drawable.ic_back_button);
toolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
         getActivity().onBackPressed();
    }
});
