How do I fix Fragment already added in my code?

Question

I open a dialog fragment from A fragment, and when the dialog fragment is closed, I want to switch from A fragment to B fragment at the same time.

But I keep getting Fragment already added error.

I am using show() instead of replace() to change the screen.

Fragment already added error was easily solved on the web, but I don't work out weird.

Probably there is a problem with my code, please let me know where the problem is.

MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    BottomNavigationView bottomNav;
    FragmentManager fm;
    FragmentTransaction transaction;
    Fragment curFrag;

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        bottomNav = findViewById(R.id.bottom_nav);

        bottomNav.setOnNavigationItemSelectedListener(new BottomNavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem item) {
                fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
                transaction = fm.beginTransaction();
                curFrag = fm.getPrimaryNavigationFragment();
                String tag = String.valueOf(item.getItemId());
                int id = item.getItemId();

                if(curFrag != null) {
                    transaction.hide(curFrag);

Upon testing your code, you'll just need to reinstantiate the transaction object before adding/replacing your fragment.

So, you need to add below in onFragmentChanged():

transaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();

And here it is:

// Method for screen switching
public void onFragmentChanged() {

    String tag = "WriteRoutine";

    transaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction(); // <<< THE CHANGE IS HERE
    curFrag = fm.getPrimaryNavigationFragment();
    if (curFrag != null) {
        transaction.hide(curFrag);
    }

    Fragment fragment = fm.findFragmentByTag(tag);

    if (fragment == null) {
        fragment = new WriteRoutineFragment();
        fragment.setArguments(curFrag.getArguments());
        transaction.add(R.id.content_layout, fragment, tag);
    } else {
        transaction.show(fragment);
    }

    transaction.setReorderingAllowed(true);
    transaction.commit();
}
