Fragments are primarily designed for reuse between different layout structures for phone vs. tablet vs. TV. > I would also like this app to work on earlier versions.

Only third party ones, and none that support tabs AFAIK.

If you plan on supporting phones and tablets, unless you have a strong reason not to, definitely use fragments. Now, whether the contents of any given tab are represented by 1, 2, 42, or 1337 fragments depends on how that content will be organized on the phone. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to *Advanced* Android Development_ Version 1.9.9 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
