The addToBackStack() now support on Fragment (android.app) !

When i follow this video I try not to change the package and still use the Fragment from android.app and it work fine. I use android studio 2.1.2

Is the problem already fixed by android Ben Deitch ? If yes just reminder here hehe

This is true for me as well. I believe there definitely should be a teacher's notes change for this course.

android extended AppCompatActivity by default for me, so I swapped in Activity and made some trivial code changes to confirm to myself that code I was viewing was fresh. Back button seemed to work in either case. So unless there's further information, the gotcha doesn't seem to apply.

Yes, adding fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null) worked for me perfectly. there should be a update in this video.
