Fragment no longer exists for key FragmentStateAdapter with Viewpager2

I am using ViewPager2 for my project. I need to use nested fragments inside a fragment with viewpager2. it works like charm until I try to navigate between fragments(not nested ones).

After the first time navigating between fragments, the application crash with the error explained below.

the fragment which contains nested fragments OnCreateView method:

View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.orders_fragment, null);

ViewPager2 viewPager = view.findViewById(R.id.childViewPager);

TabLayout tabs = view.findViewById(R.id.tabs);

SectionsPagerAdapter sectionsPagerAdapter = new SectionsPagerAdapter(getChildFragmentManager(),getLifecycle());

viewPager.setAdapter(sectionsPagerAdapter);

TabLayoutMediator.TabConfigurationStrategy tabConfigurationStrategy = (tab, position) -> {

    String[] order_activity_tabs = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.situations);

    for (int i=0; i<order_activity_tabs.length; i++) {

        if(i==position)
            tab.setText(order_activity_tabs[i]);

    }
};

TabLayoutMediator tabLayoutMediator = new TabLayoutMediator(tabs, viewPager, tabConfigurationStrategy);
tabLayoutMediator.attach();

return view;

When I return the fragment that contains nested fragments it crashes with

 java.lang.IllegalStateException: Fragment no longer exists for key f#0: unique id 4fbe17b8-5e22-4e07-a543-4a79445ad39c

There are solutions for FragmentStatePagerAdapter but there is no for FragmentStateAdapter. And because I can't override methods in FragmentStateAdapter, implementing this solutions are impossible.

Thank you for reading this. Any help is appreciated.

Using viewpager2 with FragmentStateAdapter has a similar behaviour than FragmentStatePagerAdapter

Actually there are two ways of solving this problem

First one is seting setSaveEnabled() to false into our viewpager2

viewpager2.setSaveEnabled(false)

The other one is overriding restoreState at our adapter and return null

Check : https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/viewpager2/adapter/FragmentStateAdapter

Important

Please note that this should not be the recommended way of disabling the state, this should work for some use cases but for production apps consider saving the state of the fragment or re-emiting the state to the UI from a state holder like viewmodel
