Android Android Fragments Introducing Fragments Adding a Fragment

Don't really get this question.

This is in reference to part 2 of this exercise.

For 1. I copied and pasted ListFragment fragment = new ListFragment(); FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager(); FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction(); fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.placeHolder, fragment); fragmentTransaction.commit();

I think I did exactly what it told me to do, but the question didn't say anything about using FragmentManager(which I used). Since I don't know any other way to do this then, I don't know how to exactly answer this question.

Any help/advice would be great

NewsFragment.java
public class NewsFragment extends Fragment {
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_news, container, false);
        ;
        return view;
    }
}
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
      ListFragment fragment = new ListFragment();
      fragment.add(R.id.placeholder, fragment);




    }
}

Hi Carl,

You've got an extra semicolon on an empty line in your NewsFragment, and fragment should be a NewsFragment instead of a ListFragment. Otherwise, your code looks sound.

Hope that helps!

Be sure the names of things match the code you are copy/pasting into. The class in the challenge is called NewsFragment, not ListFragment. Also check the capitalization of "placeholder".
