I’m trying to “port” an iOS app to Android.
The original iOS app workflow is:

Tab 1
  List1 -> Detail -> DetailMap

Tab 2
  List2 -> Detail -> DetailMap

Tab 3
  Map -> Detail

Where “List1” and “List2” are lists of places, “Detail” shows info about a place, “DetailMap” shows where the place is on the map. “Map” is a simple map with markers the user can click to reach “Detail”.

What’s the best way to implement this workflow in Android?

I know I should avoid using a TabActivity (deprecated), and instead use an action bar and fragments to provide navigation tabs.
Ok, but then how to implement navigation from “List1” to “Detail”, and from “Detail” to “DetailMap”? I don’t think it’s possible to have fragments inside a fragment?

And what about the maps? I don’t think it’s possible to have a mapview inside a fragment, right?

I must be missing something (maybe a lot)…
