Does using the fragments lower down the load on main activity

Question

I have created an Activity , but when i run it , the log says , X frames skipped, may be main activity doing too much work.

So using fragments for different parts, a good idea or not?

Answer 1

Fragments are really useful. If you think about it, they are really two activities working together as one cohesive "unit".

Advantages:

• They are really versatile and give you the ability to make different types of apps and UI.
• Really easy to implement and low on memory.
• Reusability and portability

Disadvantages:

• More code(For example, instantiating a fragment manager, adding the fragment transaction, writing the callbacks of the fragment)
• Communication between fragments and activities is harder. You would need to deal with a parcelable interface to serialize your objects you wish to pass.
