How can i reset or reload a fragment container, to make it empty.
I have a master detail view and i want to reset the detail container to empty on a menu item click.This works in some cases and does not in some.
NullFragment fragment = new NullFragment();
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager
.beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.item_detail_container,
fragment);
int count = fragmentManager.getBackStackEntryCount();
fragmentManager.popBackStackImmediate(count, 0);
fragmentTransaction.commit();
Usually you simply remove the fragment from it.
For example do something like
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().remove(getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.your_container)).commit();
this will remove
the fragment from the your_container
holding it.
This gets the fragment currently present in your_container
getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.your_container)
and this remove the fragment
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().remove(fragment).commit();
EDIT
Also sometimes it is useful to ensure all transactions are performed and finished, this can be done by using
getFragmentManager().executePendingTransactions();
