I use this method on my container Activity to show a BFrag
public void showBFrag()
{
// Start a new FragmentTransaction
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = mFragmentMgr.beginTransaction();
if(mBFrag.isAdded())
{
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Show() BFrag");
fragmentTransaction.show(mBFrag);
}
else
{
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Replacing AFrag -> BFrag");
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.operation_fragments_frame, mBFrag);
}
// Keep the transaction in the back stack so it will be reversed when backbutton is pressed
fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
// Commit transaction
fragmentTransaction.commit();
}
I call it from my container Activity; for the first time:
Then I press the back button:
Then I go forward again by calling showBFrag() from the same Activity:
So:
EDIT: Here is the complete info of the exception.

In the end my workaround was to execute remove() of the previous fragment and add() the new one. Although that's what replace() method was meant to do.
But I am still guessing why replace() method didn't work properly in this case. It is really weird and I want to discard that it is because I am misunderstanding something or doing something wrong.
