Fragment

Constructor used by the default FragmentFactory. You must set a custom FragmentFactory if you want to use a non-default constructor to ensure that your constructor is called when the fragment is re-instantiated.

It is strongly recommended to supply arguments with setArguments and later retrieved by the Fragment with getArguments. These arguments are automatically saved and restored alongside the Fragment.

Applications should generally not implement a constructor. Prefer onAttach instead. It is the first place application code can run where the fragment is ready to be used - the point where the fragment is actually associated with its context. Some applications may also want to implement onInflate to retrieve attributes from a layout resource, although note this happens when the fragment is attached.

Alternate constructor that can be called from your default, no argument constructor to provide a default layout that will be inflated by onCreateView.

class MyFragment extends Fragment {
  public MyFragment() {
    super(R.layout.fragment_main);
  }
}
