title: What is going on with my Android Navigation drawer activity?
body: <p>I am building an OpenGL live wallpaper. I decided to have a Navigation Drawer in my main activity since there are a lot of features the user will have access to. </p>
  
  <p><strong>The problem/issue</strong>
  If I press the "hardware" back button to normally close an app the initial fragment that is shown just refreshes and the app never closes. If I hit the home button and go back to the app everything is a black screen. I've searched all throughout Google thinking that maybe I wasn't destroying the MainActivity properly or for a way to terminate a fragment. I've tried calling finish() in the main activity's onDestroy method. I've tried utilizing the remove method from fragment manager in each fragments onDetach method per posts that I've found online. Nothing has worked. I'm stumped. I've set debug points in the main activity on the onDestroy method and on the fragments onDetach method with no error being produced or any information being given. At this point I am clueless. Here's my MainActivity class.</p>
  
  <pre><code>    public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements OnNavigationItemSelectedListener, OnPostSelectedListener{

  <p>I've tried all the recommendations below so far and the primary fragment that is set in the MainActivity's onCreate method still gets refreshed/reloaded when the back button is pressed rather than the app exiting/closing.</p>
