Alrite, I decided to execute the following code in my activity's onCreate(): mConfiguration = new ConfigFragment(); mConfiguration.setRetainInstance(true); getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(mConfiguration, CONFIG_FRAGMENT).commit(); Now, when I rotate the screen the other fragments on my screen are having problems similar to the post here [0]. In the portrait orientation there are three <fragment>'s sitting next to each other in the layout (each with a unique id like "frag_1".."frag_3"). In the landscape layout there are five <fragment>'s (with ids like "frag_1".."frag_5"). When the system attempts to inflate the 4th and 5th fragment it spits out the "did not create a view" error. If I debug into the compatibility jar it looks like the FragmentActivity is attempting to look for existing fragments to re-use after the orientation change. Around line 240 it attempts to find fragments by containerId and since the configuration fragment is in the mAdded list inside the FragmentManager with an id of zero (added by code) and the contanierId for the 4th fragment is zero, it returns the ConfigFragment instead of calling onCreateView() on a new instance of my 5 fragments. Is there a way to tell the FragmentManager that a fragment I add to it should not have a parent so that it is not a possible return value when looking for existing fragments?
