Fragments - OnBackPressed() or similar functionality

So I'm trying to find a way of implementing OnBackPressed within a fragment but having no luck. I've tried using keylisteners but they dont seem to work, and inside the fragment I try using public override void OnBackPressed() but keeps coming up saying "No suitable method found to override". I have the OnBackPressed method implemented in my main activity, but need this for a fragment specific interaction.

Any help in trying to fix this is greatly appreciated.

    This is supposed to be handled in the Activity. Here is an example solution:

    public interface IBackButtonListener
{
    void OnBackPressed();
}

    Then in your Activity:

    public override void OnBackPressed()
{
    // Ignoring stuff about DrawerLayout, etc for demo purposes.
    var currentFragment = SupportFragmentManager.FindFragmentById(Resource.Id.content_frame);
    var listener = currentFragment as IBackButtonListener;
    if (listener != null)
    {
        listener.OnBackPressed();
        return;
    }
    base.OnBackPressed();
}

    The last step is to implement the IBackButtonListener interface in any fragments where you're interested in capturing the back button press.
