FragmentTransaction.replace() not working

FragmentTransaction.replace() not working

I have a ListFragment displaying a list of items that created by the user. I have a ListView with it's id set to "@android:id/list" and a TextView with the id "@android:id/empty". I have an action bar button to display a fragment to allow the user to create more entries for the list. Here is the onOptionsItemSelected() method: @Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) { Fragment frag = null; // Right now I only have code for the addCourse() fragment, will add more soon switch (item.getItemId()) { case R.id.addCourse: frag = new AddCourseFragment(); break; default: return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item); } // The support library is being dumb and replace isn't actually getFragmentManager().beginTransaction() .remove(this).add(getId(), frag).addToBackStack(null).commit(); return true; } The AddCourseFragment code is as follows: public class AddCourseFragment extends Fragment { @Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) { View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_addcourse, container, false); // if (view.findViewById(R.id.timesFrame)!=null) { Fragment timesFrag = new TimesFragment(); getChildFragmentManager().beginTransaction() .add(R.id.timesFrame, timesFrag).commit(); // } return view; } } As expected, when the list is unpopulated, android shows the text in the TextView. I then hit the add course button and this happens:  It shows the empty text as well as the new fragment. android  android-fragments share improve this question edited Dec 3 '13 at 10:23 Simulant 6,400 5 18 49 asked  Nov 19 '12 at 2:37 scottbot95 94 1 1 10

So I removed the Fragment from the xml and used FrameLayout component in the replace()method. You can also have a look here. Hope this helps. share improve this answer edited Apr 7 at 21:06 blipinsk 2,451 3 10 24 answered  Nov 26 '12 at 19:57 Zlatko 375 2 10

An other problem that solved the issue in my case were diffentent API imports. Make sure, that you use "support.v4" or the "original" implementations from API 11 and do not mix them. (this can happen, in my case: TransactionManager was v4 and the Activity an older version, or the other way around) share improve this answer
