java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.app.Fragment


This class was deprecated in API level 28.
Use the Jetpack Fragment Library Fragment for consistent behavior across all devices and access to Lifecycle.

A Fragment is a piece of an application's user interface or behavior that can be placed in an Activity. Interaction with fragments is done through FragmentManager, which can be obtained via Activity.getFragmentManager() and Fragment.getFragmentManager().

The Fragment class can be used many ways to achieve a wide variety of results. In its core, it represents a particular operation or interface that is running within a larger Activity. A Fragment is closely tied to the Activity it is in, and can not be used apart from one. Though Fragment defines its own lifecycle, that lifecycle is dependent on its activity: if the activity is stopped, no fragments inside of it can be started; when the activity is destroyed, all fragments will be destroyed.

All subclasses of Fragment must include a public no-argument constructor. The framework will often re-instantiate a fragment class when needed, in particular during state restore, and needs to be able to find this constructor to instantiate it. If the no-argument constructor is not available, a runtime exception will occur in some cases during state restore.

Developer Guides

For more information about using fragments, read the Fragments developer guide.

Older Platforms

While the Fragment API was introduced in Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB, a version of the API at is also available for use on older platforms through FragmentActivity. See the blog post Fragments For All for more details.

Lifecycle

Though a Fragment's lifecycle is tied to its owning activity, it has its own wrinkle on the standard activity lifecycle. It includes basic activity lifecycle methods such as onResume(), but also important are methods related to interactions with the activity and UI generation.

The core series of lifecycle methods that are called to bring a fragment up to resumed state (interacting with the user) are:

  1. onAttach(Activity) called once the fragment is associated with its activity.
  2. onCreate(Bundle) called to do initial creation of the fragment.
  3. onCreateView(LayoutInflater, ViewGroup, Bundle) creates and returns the view hierarchy associated with the fragment.
  4. onActivityCreated(Bundle) tells the fragment that its activity has completed its own Activity.onCreate().
  5. onViewStateRestored(Bundle) tells the fragment that all of the saved state of its view hierarchy has been restored.
  6. onStart() makes the fragment visible to the user (based on its containing activity being started).
  7. onResume() makes the fragment begin interacting with the user (based on its containing activity being resumed).

As a fragment is no longer being used, it goes through a reverse series of callbacks:

  1. onPause() fragment is no longer interacting with the user either because its activity is being paused or a fragment operation is modifying it in the activity.
  2. onStop() fragment is no longer visible to the user either because its activity is being stopped or a fragment operation is modifying it in the activity.
  3. onDestroyView() allows the fragment to clean up resources associated with its View.
  4. onDestroy() called to do final cleanup of the fragment's state.
  5. onDetach() called immediately prior to the fragment no longer being associated with its activity.

Layout

Fragments can be used as part of your application's layout, allowing you to better modularize your code and more easily adjust your user interface to the screen it is running on. As an example, we can look at a simple program consisting of a list of items, and display of the details of each item.

An activity's layout XML can include <fragment> tags to embed fragment instances inside of the layout. For example, here is a simple layout that embeds one fragment:

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent">
    <fragment class="com.example.android.apis.app.FragmentLayout$TitlesFragment"
            android:id="@+id/titles"
            android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</FrameLayout>

The layout is installed in the activity in the normal way:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.fragment_layout);
}

The titles fragment, showing a list of titles, is fairly simple, relying on ListFragment for most of its work. Note the implementation of clicking an item: depending on the current activity's layout, it can either create and display a new fragment to show the details in-place (more about this later), or start a new activity to show the details.

public static class TitlesFragment extends ListFragment {
    boolean mDualPane;
    int mCurCheckPosition = 0;

    @Override
    public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);

        // Populate list with our static array of titles.
        setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity(),
                android.R.layout.simple_list_item_activated_1, Shakespeare.TITLES));

        // Check to see if we have a frame in which to embed the details
        // fragment directly in the containing UI.
        View detailsFrame = getActivity().findViewById(R.id.details);
        mDualPane = detailsFrame != null && detailsFrame.getVisibility() == View.VISIBLE;

        if (savedInstanceState != null) {
            // Restore last state for checked position.
            mCurCheckPosition = savedInstanceState.getInt("curChoice", 0);
        }

        if (mDualPane) {
            // In dual-pane mode, the list view highlights the selected item.
            getListView().setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_SINGLE);
            // Make sure our UI is in the correct state.
            showDetails(mCurCheckPosition);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
        super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
        outState.putInt("curChoice", mCurCheckPosition);
    }

    @Override
    public void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
        showDetails(position);
    }

    /**
     * Helper function to show the details of a selected item, either by
     * displaying a fragment in-place in the current UI, or starting a
     * whole new activity in which it is displayed.
     */
    void showDetails(int index) {
        mCurCheckPosition = index;

        if (mDualPane) {
            // We can display everything in-place with fragments, so update
            // the list to highlight the selected item and show the data.
            getListView().setItemChecked(index, true);

            // Check what fragment is currently shown, replace if needed.
            DetailsFragment details = (DetailsFragment)
                    getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.details);
            if (details == null || details.getShownIndex() != index) {
                // Make new fragment to show this selection.
                details = DetailsFragment.newInstance(index);

                // Execute a transaction, replacing any existing fragment
                // with this one inside the frame.
                FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
                if (index == 0) {
                    ft.replace(R.id.details, details);
                } else {
                    ft.replace(R.id.a_item, details);
                }
                ft.setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_FADE);
                ft.commit();
            }

        } else {
            // Otherwise we need to launch a new activity to display
            // the dialog fragment with selected text.
            Intent intent = new Intent();
            intent.setClass(getActivity(), DetailsActivity.class);
            intent.putExtra("index", index);
            startActivity(intent);
        }
    }
}

The details fragment showing the contents of a selected item just displays a string of text based on an index of a string array built in to the app:

public static class DetailsFragment extends Fragment {
    /**
     * Create a new instance of DetailsFragment, initialized to
     * show the text at 'index'.
     */
    public static DetailsFragment newInstance(int index) {
        DetailsFragment f = new DetailsFragment();

        // Supply index input as an argument.
        Bundle args = new Bundle();
        args.putInt("index", index);
        f.setArguments(args);

        return f;
    }

    public int getShownIndex() {
        return getArguments().getInt("index", 0);
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        if (container == null) {
            // We have different layouts, and in one of them this
            // fragment's containing frame doesn't exist.  The fragment
            // may still be created from its saved state, but there is
            // no reason to try to create its view hierarchy because it
            // won't be displayed.  Note this is not needed -- we could
            // just run the code below, where we would create and return
            // the view hierarchy; it would just never be used.
            return null;
        }

        ScrollView scroller = new ScrollView(getActivity());
        TextView text = new TextView(getActivity());
        int padding = (int)TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP,
                4, getActivity().getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
        text.setPadding(padding, padding, padding, padding);
        scroller.addView(text);
        text.setText(Shakespeare.DIALOGUE[getShownIndex()]);
        return scroller;
    }
}

In this case when the user clicks on a title, there is no details container in the current activity, so the titles fragment's click code will launch a new activity to display the details fragment:

public static class DetailsActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        if (getResources().getConfiguration().orientation
                == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {
            // If the screen is now in landscape mode, we can show the
            // dialog in-line with the list so we don't need this activity.
            finish();
            return;
        }

        if (savedInstanceState == null) {
            // During initial setup, plug in the details fragment.
            DetailsFragment details = new DetailsFragment();
            details.setArguments(getIntent().getExtras());
            getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(android.R.id.content, details).commit();
        }
    }
}

However the screen may be large enough to show both the list of titles and details about the currently selected title. To use such a layout on a landscape screen, this alternative layout can be placed under layout-land:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <fragment class="com.example.android.apis.app.FragmentLayout$TitlesFragment"
            android:id="@+id/titles" android:layout_weight="1"
            android:layout_width="0px" android:layout_height="match_parent" />

    <FrameLayout android:id="@+id/details" android:layout_weight="1"
            android:layout_width="0px" android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:background="?android:attr/detailsElementBackground" />

</LinearLayout>

Note how the prior code will adjust to this alternative UI flow: the titles fragment will now embed the details fragment inside of this activity, and the details activity will finish itself if it is running in a configuration where the details can be shown in-place.

When a configuration change causes the activity hosting these fragments to restart, its new instance may use a different layout that doesn't include the same fragments as the previous layout. In this case all of the previous fragments will still be instantiated and running in the new instance. However, any that are no longer associated with a <fragment> tag in the view hierarchy will not have their content view created and will return false from isInLayout(). (The code here also shows how you can determine if a fragment placed in a container is no longer running in a layout with that container and avoid creating its view hierarchy in that case.)

The attributes of the <fragment> tag are used to control the LayoutParams provided when attaching the fragment's view to the parent container. They can also be parsed by the fragment in onInflate(Activity, AttributeSet, Bundle) as parameters.

The fragment being instantiated must have some kind of unique identifier so that it can be re-associated with a previous instance if the parent activity needs to be destroyed and recreated. This can be provided these ways:

  • If nothing is explicitly supplied, the view ID of the container will be used.
  • android:tag can be used in <fragment> to provide a specific tag name for the fragment.
  • android:id can be used in <fragment> to provide a specific identifier for the fragment.

Back Stack

The transaction in which fragments are modified can be placed on an internal back-stack of the owning activity. When the user presses back in the activity, any transactions on the back stack are popped off before the activity itself is finished.

For example, consider this simple fragment that is instantiated with an integer argument and displays that in a TextView in its UI:

public static class CountingFragment extends Fragment {
    int mNum;

    /**
     * Create a new instance of CountingFragment, providing "num"
     * as an argument.
     */
    static CountingFragment newInstance(int num) {
        CountingFragment f = new CountingFragment();

        // Supply num input as an argument.
        Bundle args = new Bundle();
        args.putInt("num", num);
        f.setArguments(args);

        return f;
    }

    /**
     * When creating, retrieve this instance's number from its arguments.
     */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        mNum = getArguments() != null ? getArguments().getInt("num") : 1;
    }

    /**
     * The Fragment's UI is just a simple text view showing its
     * instance number.
     */
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.hello_world, container, false);
        View tv = v.findViewById(R.id.text);
        ((TextView)tv).setText("Fragment #" + mNum);
        tv.setBackgroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(android.R.drawable.gallery_thumb));
        return v;
    }
}

A function that creates a new instance of the fragment, replacing whatever current fragment instance is being shown and pushing that change on to the back stack could be written as:

void addFragmentToStack() {
    mStackLevel++;

    // Instantiate a new fragment.
    Fragment newFragment = CountingFragment.newInstance(mStackLevel);

    // Add the fragment to the activity, pushing this transaction
    // on to the back stack.
    FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
    ft.replace(R.id.simple_fragment, newFragment);
    ft.setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_OPEN);
    ft.addToBackStack(null);
    ft.commit();
}

After each call to this function, a new entry is on the stack, and pressing back will pop it to return the user to whatever previous state the activity UI was in.

Fragments appearing or disappearing do not generate system events for accessibility, so set a title on your fragments with View#setAccessibilityPaneTitle(CharSequence) to notify accessibility users of these UI transitions.

Public constructors

Fragment

Added in API level 11
public Fragment ()

Default constructor. Every fragment must have an empty constructor, so it can be instantiated when restoring its activity's state. It is strongly recommended that subclasses do not have other constructors with parameters, since these constructors will not be called when the fragment is re-instantiated; instead, arguments can be supplied by the caller with setArguments(Bundle) and later retrieved by the Fragment with getArguments().

Applications should generally not implement a constructor. Prefer onAttach(android.content.Context) instead. It is the first place application code can run where the fragment is ready to be used - the point where the fragment is actually associated with its context. Some applications may also want to implement onInflate(Activity, AttributeSet, Bundle) to retrieve attributes from a layout resource, although note this happens when the fragment is attached.

                String fname, 
                Bundle args)

Create a new instance of a Fragment with the given class name. This is the same as calling its empty constructor.

Parameters

Returns
boolean

isHidden

Added in API level 11
public final boolean isHidden ()

Return true if the fragment has been hidden. By default fragments are shown. You can find out about changes to this state with onHiddenChanged(boolean). Note that the hidden state is orthogonal to other states -- that is, to be visible to the user, a fragment must be both started and not hidden.

Added in API level 11
public final boolean isInLayout ()

Return true if the layout is included as part of an activity view hierarchy via the <fragment> tag. This will always be true when fragments are created through the <fragment> tag, except in the case where an old fragment is restored from a previous state and it does not appear in the layout of the current state.

Returns
boolean

isRemoving

Added in API level 11
public final boolean isRemoving ()

Return true if the fragment is in the resumed state. This is true for the duration of onResume() and onPause() as well.

Returns
boolean

isStateSaved

Added in API level 26
Deprecated in API level 28
public final boolean isStateSaved ()

Returns true if this fragment is added and its state has already been saved by its host. Any operations that would change saved state should not be performed if this method returns true, and some operations such as setArguments(android.os.Bundle) will fail.

Returns
boolean true if this fragment's state has already been saved by its host

isVisible

Added in API level 11
public final boolean isVisible ()

Return true if the fragment is currently visible to the user. This means it: (1) has been added, (2) has its view attached to the window, and (3) is not hidden.

Returns
boolean

onActivityCreated

Added in API level 11
public void onActivityCreated (Bundle savedInstanceState)

Called when the fragment's activity has been created and this fragment's view hierarchy instantiated. It can be used to do final initialization once these pieces are in place, such as retrieving views or restoring state. It is also useful for fragments that use setRetainInstance(boolean) to retain their instance, as this callback tells the fragment when it is fully associated with the new activity instance. This is called after onCreateView(LayoutInflater, ViewGroup, Bundle) and before onViewStateRestored(android.os.Bundle).
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

Parameters
savedInstanceState Bundle: If the fragment is being re-created from a previous saved state, this is the state. This value may be null.

onActivityResult

Added in API level 11
public void onActivityResult (int requestCode, 
                int resultCode, 
                Intent data)

Receive the result from a previous call to startActivityForResult(android.content.Intent, int). This follows the related Activity API as described there in Activity#onActivityResult(int, int, Intent).

Parameters
requestCode int: The integer request code originally supplied to startActivityForResult(), allowing you to identify who this result came from.

resultCode int: The integer result code returned by the child activity through its setResult().

data Intent: An Intent, which can return result data to the caller (various data can be attached to Intent "extras").

onAttach

Added in API level 11
Deprecated in API level 23
public void onAttach (Activity activity)

This method was deprecated in API level 23.
Use onAttach(android.content.Context) instead.


If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

Parameters
activity Activity

onAttach

Added in API level 23
Deprecated in API level 28
public void onAttach (Context context)

Called when a fragment is first attached to its context. onCreate(android.os.Bundle) will be called after this.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

Parameters
context Context

onAttachFragment

Added in API level 24
Deprecated in API level 28
public void onAttachFragment (Fragment childFragment)

Called when a fragment is attached as a child of this fragment.

This is called after the attached fragment's onAttach and before the attached fragment's onCreate if the fragment has not yet had a previous call to onCreate.

Parameters
childFragment Fragment: child fragment being attached

onConfigurationChanged

Added in API level 11
public void onConfigurationChanged (Configuration newConfig)

Called by the system when the device configuration changes while your component is running. Note that, unlike activities, other components are never restarted when a configuration changes: they must always deal with the results of the change, such as by re-retrieving resources.

At the time that this function has been called, your Resources object will have been updated to return resource values matching the new configuration.

For more information, read Handling Runtime Changes. If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

Parameters
newConfig Configuration: The new device configuration. This value cannot be null.

onContextItemSelected

Added in API level 11
public boolean onContextItemSelected (MenuItem item)

This hook is called whenever an item in a context menu is selected. The default implementation simply returns false to have the normal processing happen (calling the item's Runnable or sending a message to its Handler as appropriate). You can use this method for any items for which you would like to do processing without those other facilities.

Use MenuItem#getMenuInfo() to get extra information set by the View that added this menu item.

Derived classes should call through to the base class for it to perform the default menu handling.

Parameters
item MenuItem: The context menu item that was selected.

Returns
boolean boolean Return false to allow normal context menu processing to proceed, true to consume it here.

onCreate

Added in API level 11
public void onCreate (Bundle savedInstanceState)

Called to do initial creation of a fragment. This is called after onAttach(android.app.Activity) and before onCreateView(android.view.LayoutInflater, android.view.ViewGroup, android.os.Bundle), but is not called if the fragment instance is retained across Activity re-creation (see setRetainInstance(boolean)).

Note that this can be called while the fragment's activity is still in the process of being created. As such, you can not rely on things like the activity's content view hierarchy being initialized at this point. If you want to do work once the activity itself is created, see onActivityCreated(android.os.Bundle).

If your app's targetSdkVersion is Build.VERSION_CODES.M or lower, child fragments being restored from the savedInstanceState are restored after onCreate returns. When targeting Build.VERSION_CODES.N or above and running on an N or newer platform version they are restored by Fragment.onCreate.


If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

Parameters
savedInstanceState Bundle: If the fragment is being re-created from a previous saved state, this is the state. This value may be null.

onCreateAnimator

Added in API level 11
public Animator onCreateAnimator (int transit, 
                boolean enter, 
                int nextAnim)

Called when a fragment loads an animation.

Parameters
transit int

enter boolean

nextAnim int

Returns
Animator

onCreateContextMenu

Added in API level 11
public void onCreateContextMenu (ContextMenu menu, 
                View v, 
                ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo menuInfo)

Called when a context menu for the view is about to be shown. Unlike onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu, MenuInflater), this will be called every time the context menu is about to be shown and should be populated for the view (or item inside the view for AdapterView subclasses, this can be found in the menuInfo)).

Use onContextItemSelected(android.view.MenuItem) to know when an item has been selected.

The default implementation calls up to Activity.onCreateContextMenu, though you can not call this implementation if you don't want that behavior.

It is not safe to hold onto the context menu after this method returns. Called when the context menu for this view is being built. It is not safe to hold onto the menu after this method returns.

Parameters
menu ContextMenu: The context menu that is being built

v View: The view for which the context menu is being built

menuInfo ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo: Extra information about the item for which the context menu should be shown. This information will vary depending on the class of v.

onCreateOptionsMenu

Added in API level 11
public void onCreateOptionsMenu (Menu menu, 
                MenuInflater inflater)

Initialize the contents of the Activity's standard options menu. You should place your menu items in to menu. For this method to be called, you must have first called setHasOptionsMenu(boolean). See Activity.onCreateOptionsMenu for more information.

Parameters
menu Menu: The options menu in which you place your items.

inflater MenuInflater

onCreateView

Added in API level 11
public View onCreateView (LayoutInflater inflater, 
                ViewGroup container, 
                Bundle savedInstanceState)

Called to have the fragment instantiate its user interface view. This is optional, and non-graphical fragments can return null (which is the default implementation). This will be called between onCreate(android.os.Bundle) and onActivityCreated(android.os.Bundle).

If you return a View from here, you will later be called in onDestroyView() when the view is being released.

Parameters
inflater LayoutInflater: The LayoutInflater object that can be used to inflate any views in the fragment,

container ViewGroup: If non-null, this is the parent view that the fragment's UI should be attached to. The fragment should not add the view itself, but this can be used to generate the LayoutParams of the view.

savedInstanceState Bundle: If non-null, this fragment is being re-constructed from a previous saved state as given here.

Returns
View Return the View for the fragment's UI, or null.

onDestroy

Added in API level 11
public void onDestroy ()

Called when the fragment is no longer in use. This is called after onStop() and before onDetach().
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

onDestroyOptionsMenu

Added in API level 11
public void onDestroyOptionsMenu ()

Called when this fragment's option menu items are no longer being included in the overall options menu. Receiving this call means that the menu needed to be rebuilt, but this fragment's items were not included in the newly built menu (its onCreateOptionsMenu(android.view.Menu, android.view.MenuInflater) was not called).

onDestroyView

Added in API level 11
public void onDestroyView ()

Called when the view previously created by onCreateView(LayoutInflater, ViewGroup, Bundle) has been detached from the fragment. The next time the fragment needs to be displayed, a new view will be created. This is called after onStop() and before onDestroy(). It is called regardless of whether onCreateView(LayoutInflater, ViewGroup, Bundle) returned a non-null view. Internally it is called after the view's state has been saved but before it has been removed from its parent.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

onDetach

Added in API level 11
public void onDetach ()

Called when the fragment is no longer attached to its activity. This is called after onDestroy(), except in the cases where the fragment instance is retained across Activity re-creation (see setRetainInstance(boolean)), in which case it is called after onStop().
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

onGetLayoutInflater

Added in API level 26
Deprecated in API level 28
public LayoutInflater onGetLayoutInflater (Bundle savedInstanceState)

Returns the LayoutInflater used to inflate Views of this Fragment. The default implementation will throw an exception if the Fragment is not attached.

Parameters
savedInstanceState Bundle

Returns
LayoutInflater The LayoutInflater used to inflate Views of this Fragment.

onHiddenChanged

Added in API level 11
public void onHiddenChanged (boolean hidden)

Called when the hidden state (as returned by isHidden() of the fragment has changed. Fragments start out not hidden; this will be called whenever the fragment changes state from that.

Parameters
hidden boolean: True if the fragment is now hidden, false otherwise.

onInflate

Added in API level 11
Deprecated in API level 15
public void onInflate (AttributeSet attrs, 
                Bundle savedInstanceState)

This method was deprecated in API level 15.
Use onInflate(android.content.Context, android.util.AttributeSet, android.os.Bundle) instead.


If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

Parameters
attrs AttributeSet

savedInstanceState Bundle

onInflate

Added in API level 12
Deprecated in API level 23
public void onInflate (Activity activity, 
                AttributeSet attrs, 
                Bundle savedInstanceState)

This method was deprecated in API level 23.
Use onInflate(android.content.Context, android.util.AttributeSet, android.os.Bundle) instead.


If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

Parameters
activity Activity

attrs AttributeSet

savedInstanceState Bundle

onInflate

Added in API level 23
Deprecated in API level 28
public void onInflate (Context context, 
                AttributeSet attrs, 
                Bundle savedInstanceState)

Called when a fragment is being created as part of a view layout inflation, typically from setting the content view of an activity. This may be called immediately after the fragment is created from a tag in a layout file. Note this is before the fragment's onAttach(android.app.Activity) has been called; all you should do here is parse the attributes and save them away.

This is called every time the fragment is inflated, even if it is being inflated into a new instance with saved state. It typically makes sense to re-parse the parameters each time, to allow them to change with different configurations.

Here is a typical implementation of a fragment that can take parameters both through attributes supplied here as well from getArguments():

public static class MyFragment extends Fragment {
    CharSequence mLabel;

    /**
     * Create a new instance of MyFragment that will be initialized
     * with the given arguments.
     */
    static MyFragment newInstance(CharSequence label) {
        MyFragment f = new MyFragment();
        Bundle b = new Bundle();
        b.putCharSequence("label", label);
        f.setArguments(b);
        return f;
    }

    /**
     * Parse attributes during inflation from a view hierarchy into the
     * arguments we handle.
     */
    @Override public void onInflate(Activity activity, AttributeSet attrs,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onInflate(activity, attrs, savedInstanceState);

        TypedArray a = activity.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs,
                R.styleable.FragmentArguments);
        mLabel = a.getText(R.styleable.FragmentArguments_android_label);
        a.recycle();
    }

    /**
     * During creation, if arguments have been supplied to the fragment
     * then parse those out.
     */
    @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        Bundle args = getArguments();
        if (args != null) {
            mLabel = args.getCharSequence("label", mLabel);
        }
    }

    /**
     * Create the view for this fragment, using the arguments given to it.
     */
    @Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.hello_world, container, false);
        View tv = v.findViewById(R.id.text);
        ((TextView)tv).setText(mLabel != null ? mLabel : "(no label)");
        tv.setBackgroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(android.R.drawable.gallery_thumb));
        return v;
    }
}

Note that parsing the XML attributes uses a "styleable" resource. The declaration for the styleable used here is:

<declare-styleable name="FragmentArguments">
    <attr name="android:label" />
</declare-styleable>

The fragment can then be declared within its activity's content layout through a tag like this:

<fragment class="com.example.android.apis.app.FragmentArguments$MyFragment"
        android:id="@+id/embedded"
        android:layout_width="0px" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:label="@string/fragment_arguments_embedded" />

This fragment can also be created dynamically from arguments given at runtime in the arguments Bundle; here is an example of doing so at creation of the containing activity:

@Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.fragment_arguments);

    if (savedInstanceState == null) {
        // First-time init; create fragment to embed in activity.
        FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
        Fragment newFragment = MyFragment.newInstance("From Arguments");
        ft.add(R.id.created, newFragment);
        ft.commit();
    }
}

If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

Parameters
context Context: The Context that is inflating this fragment.

attrs AttributeSet: The attributes at the tag where the fragment is being created.

savedInstanceState Bundle: If the fragment is being re-created from a previous saved state, this is the state.

onLowMemory

Added in API level 11
public void onLowMemory ()

This is called when the overall system is running low on memory, and actively running processes should trim their memory usage. While the exact point at which this will be called is not defined, generally it will happen when all background process have been killed. That is, before reaching the point of killing processes hosting service and foreground UI that we would like to avoid killing.

You should implement this method to release any caches or other unnecessary resources you may be holding on to. The system will perform a garbage collection for you after returning from this method.

Preferably, you should implement ComponentCallbacks2#onTrimMemory from ComponentCallbacks2 to incrementally unload your resources based on various levels of memory demands. That API is available for API level 14 and higher, so you should only use this onLowMemory() method as a fallback for older versions, which can be treated the same as ComponentCallbacks2#onTrimMemory with the ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_COMPLETE level.

If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

onMultiWindowModeChanged

Added in API level 24
Deprecated in API level 26
public void onMultiWindowModeChanged (boolean isInMultiWindowMode)

This method was deprecated in API level 26.
Use onMultiWindowModeChanged(boolean, android.content.res.Configuration) instead.

Called when the Fragment's activity changes from fullscreen mode to multi-window mode and visa-versa. This is generally tied to Activity#onMultiWindowModeChanged of the containing Activity.

Parameters
isInMultiWindowMode boolean: True if the activity is in multi-window mode.

onMultiWindowModeChanged

Added in API level 26
Deprecated in API level 28
public void onMultiWindowModeChanged (boolean isInMultiWindowMode, 
                Configuration newConfig)

Called when the Fragment's activity changes from fullscreen mode to multi-window mode and visa-versa. This is generally tied to Activity#onMultiWindowModeChanged of the containing Activity. This method provides the same configuration that will be sent in the following onConfigurationChanged(android.content.res.Configuration) call after the activity enters this mode.

Parameters
isInMultiWindowMode boolean: True if the activity is in multi-window mode.

newConfig Configuration: The new configuration of the activity with the state .

onOptionsItemSelected

Added in API level 11
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected (MenuItem item)

This hook is called whenever an item in your options menu is selected. The default implementation simply returns false to have the normal processing happen (calling the item's Runnable or sending a message to its Handler as appropriate). You can use this method for any items for which you would like to do processing without those other facilities.

Derived classes should call through to the base class for it to perform the default menu handling.

Parameters
item MenuItem: The menu item that was selected.

Returns
boolean boolean Return false to allow normal menu processing to proceed, true to consume it here.

onOptionsMenuClosed

Added in API level 11
public void onOptionsMenuClosed (Menu menu)

This hook is called whenever the options menu is being closed (either by the user canceling the menu with the back/menu button, or when an item is selected).

Parameters
menu Menu: The options menu as last shown or first initialized by onCreateOptionsMenu().

onPause

Added in API level 11
public void onPause ()

Called when the Fragment is no longer resumed. This is generally tied to Activity.onPause of the containing Activity's lifecycle.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

onPictureInPictureModeChanged

Added in API level 26
Deprecated in API level 28
public void onPictureInPictureModeChanged (boolean isInPictureInPictureMode, 
                Configuration newConfig)

Called by the system when the activity changes to and from picture-in-picture mode. This is generally tied to Activity#onPictureInPictureModeChanged of the containing Activity. This method provides the same configuration that will be sent in the following onConfigurationChanged(android.content.res.Configuration) call after the activity enters this mode.

Parameters
isInPictureInPictureMode boolean: True if the activity is in picture-in-picture mode.

newConfig Configuration: The new configuration of the activity with the state .

onPictureInPictureModeChanged

Added in API level 24
Deprecated in API level 26
public void onPictureInPictureModeChanged (boolean isInPictureInPictureMode)

This method was deprecated in API level 26.
Use onPictureInPictureModeChanged(boolean, android.content.res.Configuration) instead.

Called by the system when the activity changes to and from picture-in-picture mode. This is generally tied to Activity#onPictureInPictureModeChanged of the containing Activity.

Parameters
isInPictureInPictureMode boolean: True if the activity is in picture-in-picture mode.

onPrepareOptionsMenu

Added in API level 11
public void onPrepareOptionsMenu (Menu menu)

Prepare the Screen's standard options menu to be displayed. This is called right before the menu is shown, every time it is shown. You can use this method to efficiently enable/disable items or otherwise dynamically modify the contents. See Activity.onPrepareOptionsMenu for more information.

Parameters
menu Menu: The options menu as last shown or first initialized by onCreateOptionsMenu().

onRequestPermissionsResult

Added in API level 23
Deprecated in API level 28
public void onRequestPermissionsResult (int requestCode, 
                String[] permissions, 
                int[] grantResults)

Callback for the result from requesting permissions. This method is invoked for every call on requestPermissions(java.lang.String[], int).

Note: It is possible that the permissions request interaction with the user is interrupted. In this case you will receive empty permissions and results arrays which should be treated as a cancellation.

Parameters
requestCode int: The request code passed in requestPermissions(java.lang.String[], int).

permissions String: The requested permissions. Never null.

grantResults int: The grant results for the corresponding permissions which is either PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED or PackageManager.PERMISSION_DENIED. Never null.

onResume

Added in API level 11
public void onResume ()

Called when the fragment is visible to the user and actively running. This is generally tied to Activity.onResume of the containing Activity's lifecycle.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

onSaveInstanceState

Added in API level 11
public void onSaveInstanceState (Bundle outState)

Called to ask the fragment to save its current dynamic state, so it can later be reconstructed in a new instance of its process is restarted. If a new instance of the fragment later needs to be created, the data you place in the Bundle here will be available in the Bundle given to onCreate(android.os.Bundle), onCreateView(android.view.LayoutInflater, android.view.ViewGroup, android.os.Bundle), and onActivityCreated(android.os.Bundle).

This corresponds to Activity.onSaveInstanceState(Bundle) and most of the discussion there applies here as well. Note however: this method may be called at any time before onDestroy(). There are many situations where a fragment may be mostly torn down (such as when placed on the back stack with no UI showing), but its state will not be saved until its owning activity actually needs to save its state.

Parameters
outState Bundle: Bundle in which to place your saved state.

onStart

Added in API level 11
public void onStart ()

Called when the Fragment is visible to the user. This is generally tied to Activity.onStart of the containing Activity's lifecycle.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

onStop

Added in API level 11
public void onStop ()

Called when the Fragment is no longer started. This is generally tied to Activity.onStop of the containing Activity's lifecycle.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

onTrimMemory

Added in API level 14
Deprecated in API level 28
public void onTrimMemory (int level)

Called when the operating system has determined that it is a good time for a process to trim unneeded memory from its process. This will happen for example when it goes in the background and there is not enough memory to keep as many background processes running as desired. You should never compare to exact values of the level, since new intermediate values may be added -- you will typically want to compare if the value is greater or equal to a level you are interested in.

To retrieve the processes current trim level at any point, you can use ActivityManager.getMyMemoryState(RunningAppProcessInfo). If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

Parameters
level int: The context of the trim, giving a hint of the amount of trimming the application may like to perform. Value is ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_COMPLETE, ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_MODERATE, ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_BACKGROUND, ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_UI_HIDDEN, ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_RUNNING_CRITICAL, ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_RUNNING_LOW, or ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_RUNNING_MODERATE

onViewCreated

Added in API level 13
Deprecated in API level 28
public void onViewCreated (View view, 
                Bundle savedInstanceState)

Called immediately after onCreateView(android.view.LayoutInflater, android.view.ViewGroup, android.os.Bundle) has returned, but before any saved state has been restored in to the view. This gives subclasses a chance to initialize themselves once they know their view hierarchy has been completely created. The fragment's view hierarchy is not however attached to its parent at this point.

Parameters
view View: The View returned by onCreateView(android.view.LayoutInflater, android.view.ViewGroup, android.os.Bundle).

savedInstanceState Bundle: If non-null, this fragment is being re-constructed from a previous saved state as given here.

onViewStateRestored

Added in API level 17
Deprecated in API level 28
public void onViewStateRestored (Bundle savedInstanceState)

Called when all saved state has been restored into the view hierarchy of the fragment. This can be used to do initialization based on saved state that you are letting the view hierarchy track itself, such as whether check box widgets are currently checked. This is called after onActivityCreated(android.os.Bundle) and before onStart().
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

Parameters
savedInstanceState Bundle: If the fragment is being re-created from a previous saved state, this is the state.

postponeEnterTransition

Added in API level 26
Deprecated in API level 28
public void postponeEnterTransition ()

Postpone the entering Fragment transition until startPostponedEnterTransition() or FragmentManager#executePendingTransactions() has been called.

This method gives the Fragment the ability to delay Fragment animations until all data is loaded. Until then, the added, shown, and attached Fragments will be INVISIBLE and removed, hidden, and detached Fragments won't be have their Views removed. The transaction runs when all postponed added Fragments in the transaction have called startPostponedEnterTransition().

This method should be called before being added to the FragmentTransaction or in onCreate(android.os.Bundle), onAttach(android.content.Context), or onCreateView(android.view.LayoutInflater, android.view.ViewGroup, android.os.Bundle)}. startPostponedEnterTransition() must be called to allow the Fragment to start the transitions.

When a FragmentTransaction is started that may affect a postponed FragmentTransaction, based on which containers are in their operations, the postponed FragmentTransaction will have its start triggered. The early triggering may result in faulty or nonexistent animations in the postponed transaction. FragmentTransactions that operate only on independent containers will not interfere with each other's postponement.

Calling postponeEnterTransition on Fragments with a null View will not postpone the transition. Likewise, postponement only works if FragmentTransaction optimizations are enabled.

registerForContextMenu

Added in API level 11
public void registerForContextMenu (View view)

Registers a context menu to be shown for the given view (multiple views can show the context menu). This method will set the OnCreateContextMenuListener on the view to this fragment, so onCreateContextMenu(android.view.ContextMenu, android.view.View, android.view.ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo) will be called when it is time to show the context menu.

Parameters
view View: The view that should show a context menu.

requestPermissions

Added in API level 23
Deprecated in API level 28
public final void requestPermissions (String[] permissions, 
                int requestCode)

Requests permissions to be granted to this application. These permissions must be requested in your manifest, they should not be granted to your app, and they should have protection level #PROTECTION_DANGEROUS dangerous, regardless whether they are declared by the platform or a third-party app.

Normal permissions PermissionInfo.PROTECTION_NORMAL are granted at install time if requested in the manifest. Signature permissions PermissionInfo.PROTECTION_SIGNATURE are granted at install time if requested in the manifest and the signature of your app matches the signature of the app declaring the permissions.

Call shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(java.lang.String) before calling this API to check if the system recommends to show a rationale UI before asking for a permission.

If your app does not have the requested permissions the user will be presented with UI for accepting them. After the user has accepted or rejected the requested permissions you will receive a callback on onRequestPermissionsResult(int, java.lang.String[], int[]) reporting whether the permissions were granted or not.

Note that requesting a permission does not guarantee it will be granted and your app should be able to run without having this permission.

This method may start an activity allowing the user to choose which permissions to grant and which to reject. Hence, you should be prepared that your activity may be paused and resumed. Further, granting some permissions may require a restart of you application. In such a case, the system will recreate the activity stack before delivering the result to onRequestPermissionsResult(int, java.lang.String[], int[]).

When checking whether you have a permission you should use Context.checkSelfPermission(String).

Calling this API for permissions already granted to your app would show UI to the user to decide whether the app can still hold these permissions. This can be useful if the way your app uses data guarded by the permissions changes significantly.

You cannot request a permission if your activity sets noHistory to true because in this case the activity would not receive result callbacks including onRequestPermissionsResult(int, java.lang.String[], int[]).

Parameters
permissions String: The requested permissions. Must me non-null and not empty.

requestCode int: Application specific request code to match with a result reported to onRequestPermissionsResult(int, java.lang.String[], int[]). Should be >= 0.

setAllowEnterTransitionOverlap

Added in API level 21

Sets the Transition that will be used to move Views in to the scene when returning due to popping a back stack. The entering Views will be those that are regular Views or ViewGroups that have ViewGroup#isTransitionGroup return true. Typical Transitions will extend Visibility as exiting is governed by changing visibility from View#VISIBLE to View#INVISIBLE. If transition is null, the views will remain unaffected. If nothing is set, the default will be to use the same transition as setExitTransition(android.transition.Transition).

Related XML Attributes:

Parameters
transition Transition: The Transition to use for shared elements transferred into the content Scene.

setSharedElementReturnTransition

Added in API level 21
Deprecated in API level 28
public void setSharedElementReturnTransition (Transition transition)

Sets the Transition that will be used for shared elements transferred back during a pop of the back stack. This Transition acts in the leaving Fragment. Typical Transitions will affect size and location, such as ChangeBounds. A null value will cause transferred shared elements to blink to the final position. If no value is set, the default will be to use the same value as setSharedElementEnterTransition(android.transition.Transition).

Parameters
fragment Fragment: The fragment that is the target of this one.

requestCode int: Optional request code, for convenience if you are going to call back with onActivityResult(int, int, android.content.Intent).

setUserVisibleHint

Added in API level 15
Deprecated in API level 28
public void setUserVisibleHint (boolean isVisibleToUser)

Set a hint to the system about whether this fragment's UI is currently visible to the user. This hint defaults to true and is persistent across fragment instance state save and restore.

An app may set this to false to indicate that the fragment's UI is scrolled out of visibility or is otherwise not directly visible to the user. This may be used by the system to prioritize operations such as fragment lifecycle updates or loader ordering behavior.

Note: This method may be called outside of the fragment lifecycle and thus has no ordering guarantees with regard to fragment lifecycle method calls.

Note: Prior to Android N there was a platform bug that could cause setUserVisibleHint to bring a fragment up to the started state before its FragmentTransaction had been committed. As some apps relied on this behavior, it is preserved for apps that declare a targetSdkVersion of 23 or lower.

Parameters
isVisibleToUser boolean: true if this fragment's UI is currently visible to the user (default), false if it is not.

shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale

Added in API level 23
