to avoid overlap a previous menu view

@Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);

    getView().setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
    getView().setClickable(true);
}

Well Setting up fragment background color is not a solution because fragment will be still in the activity stack which may consume memory. Solution would be remove all views from your framelayout before adding any new fragment. private void changeFragment(Fragment fr){ FrameLayout fl = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.mainframe); fl.removeAllViews(); FragmentTransaction transaction1 = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction(); transaction1.add(R.id.mainframe, fr); transaction1.commit(); }
