The Fragments API (introduced in Android 3. 0) provides an elegant solution. With fragments, you can build flexible layouts that adapt to any screen size—and do so dynamically, at runtime. In this course, David Gassner shows how to define a layout, add fragments to activities with Java or XML, create alternative layouts for different screen sizes, and use resource folder names to detect and select the right layout. He also shows you how to communicate between activities and fragments with arguments and callback methods, and use fragments to manage dialogs and shared preferences.

Topics include:
* Configuring Android Studio
* Understanding fragments
* Creating a fragment class and layout
* Adding and removing fragments with Java
* Creating layouts for multiple screens
* Understanding arguments and callback methods
* Passing arguments to a fragment
* Choosing layout at runtime
* Displaying dialogs with fragments
* Using fragments for managing dialogs, shared preferences, and more
