How to start Fragment from an Activity

by

You can either add or replace fragment in your activity. Create a FrameLayout in activity layout xml file.

Then do this in your activity to add fragment:

FragmentManager manager = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction transaction = manager.beginTransaction();
transaction.add(R.id.container,YOUR_FRAGMENT_NAME,YOUR_FRAGMENT_STRING_TAG);
transaction.addToBackStack(null);
transaction.commit();

And to replace fragment do this:

FragmentManager manager = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction transaction = manager.beginTransaction();
transaction.replace(R.id.container,YOUR_FRAGMENT_NAME,YOUR_FRAGMENT_STRING_TAG);
transaction.addToBackStack(null);
transaction.commit();

See Android documentation on adding a fragment to an activity or following related questions on SO:
