Does it still make sense to follow the course 'Adding Fragments to Activities' in de Android Intermediate Track? The Fragment methods used in the video's are no longer available within Android Studio 3.3.

9,483 PointsHi Remy. The Fragment class is deprecated indeed, but the Support Library Fragments are here to stay and are part of the new Android Jetpack components.
So yes, doing the "Adding Fragments to Activities" course in the Android Intermediate Track is very much still relevant, as fragments play a big part in Android development. Just make sure to update your project by using Support Library Fragments, using this import in your fragment class:
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
instead of import android.app.Fragment; as in the video.
Hope this helps :)

392 PointsIn 2020 is this course the most up-to-date way to develop android apps? I ask because, from android dev docs, "This package is part of the Android support library which is no longer maintained. The support library has been superseded by AndroidX which is part of Jetpack. We recommend using the AndroidX libraries in all new projects. You should also consider migrating existing projects to AndroidX," which is the message for both Fragments and RecyclerView (and may have changed since your comment). I feel like I am improving my skills in both java and android by taking this course; however, I want to know: what content in TeamTreehouse's android tutorials is still relevant to the most recent android development methods?
