I tried to change my Kotlin Object to class using CompanionObject with a static constructor but i have the same result.

The problem is randomized when we are on another application and we want to come back to our app.

Any help?

Thanks.

------EDIT------ Here is my kotlin Object code:

object MyFragment : Fragment() {


override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)

}

override fun onResume() {
    super.onResume()

}

override fun onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy()

}

override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?, savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
    return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_myfragment, container, false)
}

override fun onViewCreated(view: View?, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)

}

override fun onCreateOptionsMenu(menu: Menu, inflater: MenuInflater) {

    inflater.inflate(R.menu.mymenu, menu)

}

override fun onOptionsItemSelected(item: MenuItem): Boolean {
    // handle item selection
    when (item.itemId) {
        R.id.action_my_results -> {
            return true
        }
        else -> return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item)
    }
}

override fun onAttach(context: Context) {
    super.onAttach(context)
}

override fun onDetach() {
    super.onDetach()
}}

Solution

  • When you are using object keyword, you make constructor to private then android cannot recreate your fragment. My workaround is :

    class MyFragment : Fragment() {
    
        companion object {
            @JvmStatic val fragment = MyFragment()
        }
    
    // rest or your code 
    }
