Cannot create fragment

In Android Studio, I was going to create a fragment activity. I went for file>new>fragment, but it doesn't response only to have xml layout file when I choose to make one. Also I tried to do so with right click on app package: com.blahblah but still it doesn't say anything. I tried Rebuild, Restart, Check message error and Event Log but everything seems fine.

I can't tell exactly what you are trying to do. If you right-click on the package name, you can select New > Activity > Blank Activity with Fragment and use the wizard to create a new Activity and Fragment. Is that what you are looking for? Or just a regular new Fragment? That's also available via New > Fragment > Blank Fragment.

I was talking about java class to maintain, say the fragment for Inbox. In the video, I think it was InboxFragment.java for fragment_inbox.xml.

I try to create with right-click > New > Fragment, but there is no response with Blanck Fragment option. I click the option, the dialog is dismissed, and nothing happens. But apparently I don't need it for now since I can make it by myself with blank java class with Fragment extended.
