Any initialization that involves views associated with the fragment must be done in onCreateView() (or I guess later), since that is the place where you actually create and return your view hierarchy.
There is basically no reason to use onRestoreInstanceState(), and no need for this with fragment. For both activities and fragments, just restore the data from the "savedState" variable that is passed to onCreate() etc. On Sat, Apr 9, 2011 at 11:59 PM, Brill Pappin <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm attempting to convert an app from a standard activity based app to a > fragment based app and I'm a bit confused on where I should place code that > i used to have in onCreate(Bundle). > > The lifecycle is pretty clear that the sequence is onCreate() -> > onCreateView().
