When should you call the method commitAllowingStateLoss?

Answer from AI

When working with fragments, when there is a risk of losing state, for example:

  • In asynchronous callbacks (e.g., from loaders).
  • When receiving results of actions (onActivityResult).
  • After onSaveInstanceState has been called, but before onStop.

Using commitAllowingStateLoss prevents the IllegalStateException, but may lead to inconsistencies between the UI state and data, as the fragment may not be added or removed if the activity is in the background. It should be used consciously, understanding the potential side effects. It is preferable to use commit() and restructure the code to avoid state losses.
