Answer 1

If you download the latest ADT 22.6.3 (with build tools 19.0.3) you will have the option to create a new Empty Activity that doesn't use fragments

Answer 2

If you don't want the fragment part to be in your app then simply "unckeck the create activity option at project setup wizard, then manually create the activity and layout" for your project.

Answer 3

For those who would like instructions on how to remove Fragments from the project:

1) Copy all the contents of res/layout/fragment_main.xml. Open activity_main.xml, delete the FrameLayout, and paste in the copied contents.

2) Delete fragment_main.xml

3) In MainActivity.java, delete the whole PlaceHolderFragment class:

/**
 * A placeholder fragment containing a simple view.
 */
public static class PlaceholderFragment extends Fragment {

    public PlaceholderFragment() {
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                    Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main,
                    container, false);
        return rootView;
    }
}

4) Delete the following lines from onCreate():

if (savedInstanceState == null) {
    getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
            .add(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment()).commit();
}

At this point you should be all set to run the project.
