如何在已打开活动的操作栏中向片段添加后退按钮？

Question

I have a HomeActivity that implements NavigationView without ToolBar (with ActionBar). In this activity I implement the onNavigationItemSelected that I use to navigate to SettingsFragment :

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_menu);

        ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
        if (actionBar != null) {
            actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
            actionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
        }

        // more code
        getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.container,new DashboardActivity()).commit();
    }


    @Override
    public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem item) {
                // more code
                getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.container,new SettingsFragment()).commit();
    }

In the SettingsFragment fragment I have a listener to open a new activity:

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        fragmentView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_settings, container, false);
        FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) fragmentView.findViewById(R.id.myfab);
        fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), SubSettingsActivity.class);
                fragmentView.getContext().startActivity(intent);
                startActivity(intent);
            }
        });
        return fragmentView;
    }

It opens an activity but without a back button to the previous fragment. What's the proper way to add this button in the action bar?

EDIT : I would like the button to go back to the previous fragment SettingsFragment and not to the activity that holds the fragments. Why implementing NavigationView is so hard?

Answer 1

Your SubSettingsActivity's theme should extend Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar
Then in java do in onCreate

        if (actionBar != null) {
            actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
            actionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
        }

Then in AndroidManifest where u declare SubSettingsActivity do:

android:parentActivity="YOUR_ACTIVITY"

YOUR_ACTIVITY is the activity that holds fragment

Edit: If you wanna navigate back to the SettingFragment its better you use Android Jetpack navigation component. It let's you seemlessly use fragments. Here is the link: https://developer.android.com/guide/navigation/navigation-migrate

How to implement Navigation Component :the simple way

Step 1: Add the required dependencies

implementation 'androidx.navigation:navigation-fragment:2.3.0-alpha05'
implementation 'androidx.navigation:navigation-ui:2.3.0-alpha05'

Step 2: Goto res folder on Android Studio, right click it, new > android Resource File Youll see the following dialog:

Note the Resource type, you must pick Navigation

Step 3: Since your fragments have been created, goto the activity xml that holds your fragment eg activity_main.xml add the following:

<fragment
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_above="@id/adView"
    android:name="androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment"
    app:defaultNavHost="true"
    app:navGraph="@navigation/main_nav"
    android:id="@+id/nav_host_frag"/>

NavHostFragment is the class that will handle your fragments, navGraph will be your navigation file you created earlier.

Step 4: add your fragments to the navigation file, open your navigation file u created in step 2, switch the tab to design. As seen in the image below

Note yours will be empty. Use the add sign(1 in the screenshot) to add your fragments to the design view. Notice the (2 in the screenshot) start fragment, this the fragment that will be inflated first. Means when u open MainActivity, its the start fragment in the navigation graph that will be visible.

The curly arrows are the actions or navigations. For example, in my screenshot, start fragment goes to signup fragment and login fragment, it simply means where start fragment can navigate to within the fragments inside the graph. if its not defined in the navigation graph, it wont navigate. Other words, hey nav i will want to navigate from splash fragment to signup fragment or login fragment in the future, take note!

Step 5: when you want to navigate to a fragment from a fragment within the graph instantiate an instance of NavController:

     private NavController controller;

     @Override
     public void onViewCreated(@NonNull View view, @Nullable Bundle 
     savedInstanceState) {
       super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);

        controller = Navigation.findNavController(view);
    }

NavController will let you navigate and i usually instantiate it onViewCreated()

then:

button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
  @Override
   public void onClick(View view){
      controller.navigate(R.id.action_startFragment_to_anotherFragment);
   }
 }); 

To set your actionbar with the fragments, put the following code in onCreate() of host activity:

      NavController mNavigationController = Navigation.findNavController(this,R.id.nav_host_frag);
      NavigationUI.setupActionBarWithNavController(this, mNavigationController);

Also in host activity:

@Override
public boolean onSupportNavigateUp() {
    return mNavigationController.navigateUp();
}

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    super.onBackPressed();

}
