Hi. Can someone please help me understand easily why there's a fragment_main.xml in the latest android SDK? I've watched several tutorials also on android but they only use activity_main.html.
Enlighten me. :D

You'll have to remove the references to each activity being made as fragments are added automatically (unless you use the provided project files/environment).

Overall http://stackoverflow.com/ is a great resource when you run into problems. You're more than likely not the only one running into the issue and this is a resource for asking questions from a community of programmers (new and advanced).
