How Android Fragments Can Be Worthwhile For
Developing Your App?
Enhancing customer experience is the prime focus
of mobile app manufacturers, these days,
regardless of the operating system they are
aiming to target. Their actions more or less
resonate with the words of the legendary Steve
Jobs, You've got to start with the customer
experience and work back toward
the technologynot the other way around. Taking
this mood further, even in the field of android
app development, the manufacturing process is
undergoing constant modifications in order to
keep pace with the latest device updates which
are subsequently reflected in the latest versions
of Android. Consequently, the Android ecosystem
is increasingly witnessing fragments in its
operating system!

Although it is perceived as a problem but it can
be beneficial at the same time. Let us delve into
some of the places wherein fragments are playing
great role

Data Passing Between App Screens
Originally, in android app development, it was
very challenging to pass information between
screens as each screen was implemented as a
separate Activity and Android Intent mechanism
does not allow passing an object directly between
Activities. The object must be made globally
accessible reference. Whereas, treating each
screen as a separate fragment within the context
of an Activity the object reference becomes
easily accessible for fragments through the
Activity preventing the need of information
transfer between them.

Organizing user interface
Tabs and Dropdown Lists are the two most
common user interface metaphors generally used
for organizing app screens. Tabs work well when
there are few screens and Dropdown lists are
great when there are several of them.
Implementing these user interface metaphors
becomes easy with fragments. In both the
instances, you just need to put
the Android Action Bar into the navigation mode
that is appropriate, and then switch between the
displayed fragments by using a FragmentTransaction
.

Foundation of advanced UI metaphors
With the advanced use of fragments, they are
increasingly becoming part of rich user interface
design as well as the foundation of the more
sophisticated UI metaphors. Swipe-based
navigation is quite favourite among users which
you can add to your app by simply implementing a
fragment for each screen, placing a ViewPager in
the interface layout and then by connecting the
ViewPager to a FragmentPagerAdapter.

Despite the ongoing debate, whether fragmentation
is good or bad, the fact cannot be overlooked
that the diversity added by fragments is the root
cause of Androids global reach. If you want to
realize your dream of building your own app for
the Android platform then you can count on
