To change or not to change...

At the beginning of the Video, there is a little notice that my code may be different, but that no change is needed and refers to the notes. In the notes it only say something about when using Android Studio, in which case change is needed.

Well, I'm not using Android Studio (yet!), but my code is still slightly different. My MainActivity extends Activity rather than FragmentActivity like in the video...

So... to change, or not to change? (and why? please)

As it turns out, in the video Modifying Fragments from the Template I got an error ( return new InboxFragment();) and I DID have to tweak my code to get things working again. Fortunately though, the solution was already in the forums and can be found at: https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/android-studio-return-new-inboxfragment

Although this solution seems to address an Android Studio issue, the same issue occurs within Eclipse (I'm using Build: v22.6.2-1085508) as well.
