ListView in Fragment backstack still calling getView()

Question

I have a Fragment which contains a ListView say FragmentA, when I add another Fragment which contains another ListView say FragmentB:

getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
    .add(R.id.fragment_container, FragmentB)
    .commit()

I noticed that getView() of ListView in FragmentA is still getting called even though the top fragment is now FragmentB, any reason why and how do I prevent this behavior?

You're stacking fragments on top of each other.

Instead of add use replace to replace any existing fragments in that container.

replace means I won't be able to go back to `FragmentA`, correct? – Andreas Wong Jan 22 '15 at 06:00

@SiGanteng No it doesnt't. As long as you add the transaction to the backstack. – Simas Jan 22 '15 at 06:01
Ok will give it a try then, thanks. I intuitively thought replace means taking out (delete) whatever fragment in that view and replace =/. – Andreas Wong Jan 22 '15 at 06:02
