Question: I have a layout for landscape mode that shows a ListView on the left and a FrameLayout on the right. When an item is selected from the list another fragment is added to the FrameLayout 

```
MyFragment myFragment = (MyFragment) fragmentManager.findFragmentById(R.id.myFrameLayout);
FragmentTransaction ft = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
if (myFragment == null) {
    myFragment = new MyFragment(uri);
    ft.replace(R.id.myFrameLayout, playerFragment);
    ft.setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_OPEN);
    ft.commitAllowingStateLoss();
}

```

Later on I press delete in the list view and remove the last item in the list, and I try to remove the fragment so that nothing is shown, but it doesn't work, my fragment remains on the screen. The code for removing is:

```
MyFragment myFragment = (MyFragment) fragmentManager.findFragmentById(R.id.myFrameLayout);
FragmentTransaction ft = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
ft.remove(myFragment);
ft.setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_CLOSE);
ft.commitAllowingStateLoss();

```

Any ideas why it is not being removed from the View?

Answer: 
@DaveJohnston I have tried your code for remove fragment I just molded....thanks :)

Hey I dont know this is solution to your problem or not but you try this way it will work:

**Approach to add fragment:**

```
YourFragment yourFrament;

//Add your Fragment
public void addYourFragment(){
yourFragment = new YourFragment();

FragmentTransaction transation = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
transation.replace(R.id.yourFlowLayout, yourFragment);

        transation.commit();

}   

```

**Approach to remove Fragment:**

```
 //Remove Fragment
    public void removeYourFragment(){
     FragmentTransaction transaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
            if (yourFragment != null) {           
                transaction.remove(yourFragment);
                transaction.commit();
                transaction.setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_CLOSE);
                yourFragment = null;
            }
    }

```
are you declaring the fragment in xml? Citing Dianne Hackborn from google:

hope it helps
