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

}


/res/layout/fragment_a.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"

       android:text="It's Fragment A" />
   <ImageView
       android:layout_width="match_parent"
       android:layout_height="match_parent"
       android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher"/>

import android.view.ViewGroup;

public class MyFragmentB extends Fragment {

 @Override
 public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
   Bundle savedInstanceState) {

  return myFragmentView;
 }

}

  1. Can you explain how the swipe movement should be added to navigate between tabs?

  2. Is it possible to call another fragment from one of these tabs?

    For example, my fragment_c.xml is a RelativeLayout with a button on it and also calls for another fragment, but my app crashes when I select it.

    Any idea on how I can fix it?

    Thanks

  4. Strange... I was so happy when I found this example but I cannot get it working...

    I always end up with all fragments showing all together in the container...

    I am using the support library (action bar as well). I wonder if it comes from that...
