I've adapted this example from here http://developer.android.com/training/basics/fragments/index.html
Here's the simple breakdown of using a list fragment:
1) Create an activity_main.xml in res/layout/ as such:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<fragment android:name="com.example.droidtestnew.smallpage"
android:id="@+id/article_fragment"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<fragment android:name="com.example.droidtestnew.smallpage"
android:id="@+id/headlines_fragment"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<fragment android:name="com.example.droidtestnew.smallpage"
android:id="@+id/article_fragment"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
package com.example.droidtestnew;
import android.os.Build;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.ListFragment;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
public class smallpage extends ListFragment {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
String arrHello[] = {
"Hello One",
"Goodbye Two"
};
// We need to use a different list item layout for devices older than Honeycomb
int layout = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB ?
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_activated_1 : android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1;
// Create an array adapter for the list view, using the Ipsum headlines array
setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity(), layout, arrHello));
}
}
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {
Easy as pie! Obviously this is an incredibly basic example, but it should get you started with fragments.
