8.1. Creating a Fragment

Like any other view object, a fragment can either be part of the XML definition of a layout, or be added to a view programmatically. In a layout, a fragment looks like this:

<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    >

    <fragment
        class="com.oreilly.demo.android.ch085.contactviewer.DateTime"
        android:id="@+id/date_time"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        />

</LinearLayout>
