While creating a very simple sample app, I couldn't wrap my head around why my app is closing when I press the hardware back button on my emulator.
I have 1 mainActivity and 2 fragments.
When I am on the NavigationFragment and press back, the app closes instead of going back to IntermediateFragment.
MainActivity:
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
toolbar.setTitle(R.string.app_name)
}
}
activity_main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
tools:context="com.exampleapplication.MainActivity">
<androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
/>
<fragment
android:id="@+id/my_nav_host_fragment"
android:name="androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment"
app:navGraph="@navigation/main_nav"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/toolbar"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
navigation_graph:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<navigation xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/main_nav"
app:startDestination="@+id/intermediateFragment">
<fragment
android:id="@+id/intermediateFragment"
android:name="com.exampleapplication.IntermediateFragment">
<action
android:id="@+id/action_intermediate_to_navigation"
app:destination="@+id/navigationFragment"
/>
</fragment>
<fragment
android:id="@+id/navigationFragment"
android:name="com.exampleapplication.NavigationFragment"
/>
</navigation>
IntermediateFragment:
class IntermediateFragment : Fragment() {
override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?, savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_intermediate, container, false)
}
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
btn_next_fragment.setOnClickListener {
findNavController().navigate(R.id.action_intermediate_to_navigation)
}
}
}
NavigationFragment:
class NavigationFragment : Fragment() {
override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?, savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_navigation, container, false)
}
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
btn_first_library.setOnClickListener {
findNavController().setGraph(R.navigation.first_library_nav)
}
btn_download_pdf.setOnClickListener {
findNavController().setGraph(R.navigation.download_pdf_nav)
}
}
}
Any ideas?
You're missing one line on your <fragment>
:
app:defaultNavHost="true"
As per the Navigation Getting Started guide:
The
app:defaultNavHost="true"
attribute ensures that yourNavHostFragment
intercepts the system Back button.
Since you don't set that, Navigtion does not intercept the back button and hence, you only get the default activity behavior (which is closing your activity).
