Question

I’m converting an existing app to the Fragments API using the compatibility library. I’ve read that you’re supposed to update classes that extend Activity to now use FragmentActivity. This is fine for most cases, but what about classes that extend ListActivity or MapActivity? What is the preferred way to handle this? I was hoping there was a ListFragmentActivity or something along those lines, but I don’t see one.

Answer 1

There is a ListFragment: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/ListFragment.html

For MapActivity, unfortunately you will need to continue to use that; there is no Fragment API for it.
