Why using Fragments?

Question

I have read the documentation and some other questions\' threads about this topic and I don\'t really feel convinced; I don\'t see clearly the limits of use of this tech

Answer 1

If there's a certain positive aspect apart from the simpler reuse of logic through different layouts, it's the ability of Fragments to be kept alive by the system at orientation change, aka while an Activity is reconstructed from zero, a Fragment can retain its instance, and therefore using them is more stable than an Activity. Also, switching between Fragments is quicker.

Personally, if I don't need to mess around with different orientations and layout sizes, I still prefer using Fragments and a singular container Activity around it, for stability and seamless switching between the different screens.
