Question

I am using a custom viewpager which has Listfragment’s loaded with FragmentPagerAdapter. Each ListFragment represents a dual panel layout, where each list item loads some other fragments to a framelayout(Right Panel).

Is this a best practice?

The Android Support Library also now supports nested fragments, so you can implement nested fragment designs on Android 1.6 and higher.

To nest a fragment, simply call getChildFragmentManager() on the Fragment in which you want to add a fragment. This returns a FragmentManager that you can use like you normally do from the top-level activity to create fragment transactions. For example, here’s some code that adds a fragment from within an existing Fragment class:

Fragment videoFragment = new VideoPlayerFragment();
FragmentTransaction transaction = getChildFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
transaction.add(R.id.video_fragment, videoFragment).commit();
