Android Navigation Draw Re-loading Fragment Whenever Closed

I am trying to convert all my code from activities to fragments in order to use a navigation drawer and eventualy some sliding tabs. Currently I have a semi working navigation dra

Solution 1:

The issue is that your DrawerListener is set in your OnClickListener when it shouldn't be:

@OverridepublicvoidonItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, finalint pos,long id){
    drawer.setDrawerListener(
        newDrawerLayout.SimpleDrawerListener(){
            @OverridepublicvoidonDrawerClosed(View drawerView){...}
        }
    );
 }

The scope of your pos integer is such that, every time the drawer closes, onDrawerClose thinks that the value of pos hasn't changed. Since there isn't a condition checking that an item was clicked, then the same Fragment is recreated each time the drawer closes (unless you click on a different item).

Set a member boolean to true when an item is clicked and set a member int to its position. Use the boolean to differentiate between an item click and a drawer close:

privatebooleanmNavItemClicked=false;
privateintmNavPosition=0;
...
@OverrideprotectedvoidonCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
...
    navList.setOnItemClickListener(newListView.OnItemClickListener {
        @OverridepublicvoidonItemClick(AdapterView parent, View view, int position, long id) {
            mNavItemClicked = true;
            mNavPosition = position;
            drawerLayout.closeDrawer(navList);
        }
    });
    ActionBarDrawerToggledrawerToggle=newActionBarDrawerToggle(...) {
        publicvoidonDrawerClosed(View view) {
            if (mNavItemClicked) {
                getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
                    .replace(R.id.main, Fragment.instantiate(MainDraw.this
                             , fragments[mNavPosition])
                    .commit();

            }
            mNavItemClicked = false;
        }
    };
    drawerLayout.setDrawerListener(drawerToggle);
}

If you decide to use the ActionBarDrawerToggle then follow its design guidelines and call through to the Activity callback methods onConfigurationChanged and onOptionsItemSelected.
