Question

I wonder whether I can manage fragments like Activity.
I implemented tab function with fragment(in fact, I couldn’t get result from startActivityForResult using TabHost), and I wanna call each fragment when tab menu selected saving its previous view like using intent with FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT. Whenever I replace fragment, program always create new fragment.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

ps. I tried to use savedInstanceState, but Bundle only provides putInt, putString, putBundle, etc. Is it possible to save view or other objects?

Here is my code. After declare FragmentManager fm and FragmentTransaction ft,

AFragment fragment = AFragment.getInstance();
if (!fragment.isAdded())
    ft.replace(res, fragment, tag);
ft.commit();

and AFragment.newInstance() is implemented as,

AFragment mThis;
public static AFragment getInstance() {
    if (mThis == null)
        mThis = new AFragment();
    return mThis;
}

Try using something similar to the code below to reuse a fragment

ContactListFragment contactListFragment = 
     (ContactListFragment)getFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("ContactList");
if(contactListFragment == null){
contactListFragment = new ContactListFragment();
}
ft.replace(R.id.fragment_container, contactListFragment,"ContactList";
ft.commit();
