To Dianne

Thank you for all your support

I have managed to get the fragment concept working

I call  show()
FragmentTransaction fMgr = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
fMgr.show(visitScreen); 
fMgr.commit();

And then when done I call hide()
FragmentTransaction fMgr = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
fMgr.hide(visitScreen);
fMgr.commit();


I just have a new problem  But When I recall the function with the .show()

ignoring focus gain of: 
com.android.internal.view.IInputMethodClient$Stub$Proxy@4169e988

and Do not see the  Fragment  ?  any ideas

Thanks again for everything

 I would suggest that for now you ignore the fragment tag; all it is, is 
 a convenience for doing certain things.  Learn how to directly use the

That log is just a warning, and unrelated fragments, and not causing such an
issue.

Let's still step back -- are you actually having a fragment displayed at
all?  Make sure you are actually getting it displayed before then trying to
hide and show it.  (And after adding a fragment starts out shown so there is
no reason to hide it unless you are doing some special specific stuff.)

Thanks

Yes it is displaying (the first time)  then I hide it  so I can use that 
portion of the screen for other things
and then I try to go back an reshow it  But it gives the error and  then
  shows  nothing.

So it will show  and then hide  the first time around,   but will not show the 
second time around.

thanks again for all your help

Committing a fragment transaction is asynchronous.  You should let it run
and do its thing; don't call getView() outside of the fragment's own
lifecycle.

Have you tried any of the API demos?  There are lots of them.  I suggest
starting off with one of those known working demos, found here:

 I would suggest that for now you ignore the fragment tag; all it is, is
 a convenience for doing certain things.  Learn how to directly use the
 Fragment APIs and how those work with activities, and then once you are done
 with those basic concepts you can throw in fragment layout tags.

 (I should probably adjust the Fragment java doc to reflect this approach
 as well.)

 Could someone please clarify the method in which to use fragment

 There is a Main Activity which has a  fragment  element within it's
 layout

 this fragment element is then loaded to a class the extends  Fragment
 But does the fragment class then have it's own activity ?  or
 how do you access the elements within the fragment ?
 For discussion let us say the fragment has a Button and EditText

 Under  a normal activity  you could access it with
 (Button) findViewbyId(R.id.button);   but when I put this into a fragment
 extended class
 findViewById  gives an error ?

 Also there is one article on Fragment which has a FragmentActivity  or
 ActivityFragment
 But I can not find this anywhere

 Thanks in advance
