The usage of Fragment in an android app totally depends on the screen size of the device on which the app is being used. Well, before the introduction of Fragments(Fragments were added in Honeycomb version of Android i.e API version 11), we could only have a single Activity on a screen at a given point of time, and there was no way to divide the screen and control the different parts separately.Īnd as the screen size of the Mobile devices are increasing, it makes more sense to show more stuff at the same time on the screen, hence Fragments are very useful, and are very popular amongst the Android developers community. If we already have Activity, and a Fragment is just like a sub-activity, then what is the use of having an additional component in Android? So, Fragment is a very interesting component of Android OS which can be used in multiple ways in an android app. Generally, fragments are used to create multi-pane UI in Android apps.Ī Fragment has it's own Layout for the UI(user interface), but we can even define a fragment without any layout, to implement a behavious which has no user interface, more like a background service. If you know Biology, and are aware of the concept of Host and Parasite, then in Android, Activity is the host while a Fragment is a parasite.įragment has its own lifecycle events, which are different from an Activity's lifecylce events.Īn Activity can have any number of fragments in it, although it is suggested to not to use too many fragments in a single activity.Īlso, a fragment is a re-usable component, hence, a single fragment can be included in multiple activities, if required.

It functions independently, but as it is linked to the Activity, when an activity is destroyed, the fragment also gets destroyed.


(What happened when “my mother married my father?”) Example: When my mother married my father.(What is better or worse? What is it modifying?) It is missing a verb or has the wrong verb form.Example: Ran to the store faster than a rabbit.Here are the distinguishing features of a sentence fragment: While it may be punctuated to look like a complete sentence, a fragment cannot stand on its own. Sentence fragments are usually missing a subject or verb, or they do not express a complete thought. A sentence fragment is a group of words that looks like a sentence, but actually isn’t a complete sentence.
