fragment_main.xml & activity_main.xml

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

Per the trainers comments in another members question they are working on a solution to address this change however the solution for now is to download the provided environment setup or delete the fragment_main.xml and code referring to it. 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).
