Googling I see many declarations that nested fragments cannot use XML. Now I am new to Android, but my app is using XML with nested fragments. I haven't got the listeners and interfaces working yet (maybe this is why people say you can't use XML), but the GUI works.
My question: What is meant by the comments I have read about not using XML for Nested Fragments?
Here a link to one stating XML can't be used with nested fragments:
The code below creates 3 radiogroups (each in a fragment) horizontally arranged on top (in another fragment) with a listview (in another fragment) below them. The fragments allow good control on the look for different display types.
Here is my code:
public class SetupNew extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.ngs);
}}
ngs.xml
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<fragment android:id="@+id/frag_options_all"
android:layout_height="250dp"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
android:name="com.EXAMPLE.frag_class_options_all"/>
<fragment android:id="@+id/frag_select_opponent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:name="com.EXAMPLE.frag_class_opponents"/>
</LinearLayout>
frag_class_options_all.java
public class frag_class_options_all extends Fragment {
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.options_all, container, false);
return view;
}}
frag_class_opponents.java
public class frag_class_opponents extends ListFragment implements LoaderManager.LoaderCallbacks<Cursor> {
//working contact listview
}
options_all.xml
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<fragment android:id="@+id/frag_options"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="80dp"
android:layout_marginRight="15dp"
android:name="com.EXAMPLE.frag_class_options"/>
<fragment android:id="@+id/frag_ship_limit"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="75dp"
android:layout_marginRight="15dp"
android:name="com.EXAMPLE.frag_class_limit_options"/>
<fragment android:id="@+id/frag_allowable_ship"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:name="com.EXAMPLE.frag_class_allow"/>
</LinearLayout>
frag_class_options, frag_class_limit_options and frag_class_allow all follow something like this:
public class frag_class_options extends Fragment{
RadioGroup radioGroup;
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.options_m, container, false);
radioGroup = (RadioGroup) view.findViewById(R.id.rg_limit);
return view;
}
}
