android - Fragment re-created on bottom navigation view item selected

Question

Following is my code for bottom navigation view item selected

bottomNavigationView.setOnNavigationItemSelectedListener(new BottomNavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener() {  
@Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem item) {
    Fragment fragment = null;
    switch (item.getItemId()) {
        case R.id.action_one:
            // Switch to page one
            fragment = FragmentA.newInstance();
            break;
        case R.id.action_two:
            // Switch to page two
            fragment = FragmentB.newInstance();
            break;
        case R.id.action_three:
            // Switch to page three
            fragment = FragmentC.newInstance();
            break;
    }
    getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.container,fragment,"TAG").commit();
    return true;
}
});

Now my problem is every time fragment is re-created and don't want fragment to be recreated every time I also tried adding addToBackStack(null) but it this case on back button press keeps popping fragments from stack which I don't want.

Is there any way to display fragments on bottom navigation bar selected without re-creating fragment

Answer 1

With support library v26 you can do this

FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = mFragmentManager.beginTransaction();

Fragment curFrag = mFragmentManager.getPrimaryNavigationFragment();
if (curFrag != null) {
    fragmentTransaction.detach(curFrag);
}

Fragment fragment = mFragmentManager.findFragmentByTag(tag);
if (fragment == null) {
    fragment = new YourFragment();
    fragmentTransaction.add(container.getId(), fragment, tag);
} else {
    fragmentTransaction.attach(fragment);
}

fragmentTransaction.setPrimaryNavigationFragment(fragment);
fragmentTransaction.setReorderingAllowed(true);
fragmentTransaction.commitNowAllowingStateLoss();
