Question

I’m currently creating an app in which the main screen is build up out of 2 Fragments.
When the user selects options on the main screen, one part of the screen gets replaced by a new Fragment, all pretty much basic stuff.

Now I’m trying to create a screen with several tabs, which all open a new fragment inside them. I had this working with regular intents, but that was before switching to Fragments.
I read that this is possible by using a FragmentActivity, but sadly you can’t replace a Fragment with a FragmentActivity, simply because the transaction won’t let you.

Is there any way of doing this inside an ordinary Fragment? Or should I try mimicking the behavior by using a layout with a fragment inside which gets replaced by another one at the press of a button, much like the main screen? (Or won’t that work due to fragments in fragments?)

There is an example in Android’s support library that describes what seems to be what you need. You can find it here: FragmentTabs.
