- select the contributor at the end of the page -
You shouldn't hear any concerning "crunch" sounds when manipulating Android's backstack, although you'll certainly need to do some popping.  In this video excerpt from Jim Wilson's new course Improving User Interface Design with Android Fragments you'll learn how to manipulate the navigation of an Android app by working through the backstack of transactions.  In the full course Jim covers fragments and UI modularization, fragment lifecycle, and integrating fragments with the ActionBar.
