How can we stop reload previous fragment from current fragment by pressing back button
Ex.
As if we are moving from List-fragment to Details Fragment on back pressed no need to reload List-fragment again by using Android Jet Pack and Navigation Architecture
<fragment
android:id="@+id/my_nav_host_fragment"
android:name="androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:defaultNavHost="true"
app:navGraph="@navigation/navigation_graph" />
Navigation component only supports fragment replacement as of now. So you won't be able to add() a fragment as you do it with Manual fragment transaction.
However, if your worry is about re-inflating the layout and re-fetching the data for the fragment, it could be easily resolved with below two methods.
- Once the view is created, store it in a variable and use it whenever onCreateView() is called.
private var view: View? = null
override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?, savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
if (view == null) {
view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_list, container, false)
//...
}
return view
}

- Use ViewModel with the Fragment and hold the data required as a member variable.
By this way, the data is not cleared when you replace the associated fragment. The ViewModel gets cleared only on onDestroy() of the fragment, which will only happen when you destroy the parent activity.
