Once you've decided on a screen detection strategy, using either pure Java or resource selectors, you then have to make decisions on what sort of layout to present to the user. On smaller screens such as cell phones, It is common to only present one fragment at at time, with the current fragment filling the entire current activity. On a larger screen such as a tablet, you might present two fragments side-by-side.
- [Instructor] Once you've detected…what kind of device your app is running on,…you can decide what kind of layout you want to present.…In this version of my application,…I've added a few different components.…First of all, I've added a second activity…that I've named DetailActivity.…It uses this layout file called ActivityDetail.XML,…and that in turn includes a content_detail file.…This content_detail has a fragment,…and the fragment is called DetailActivityFragment,…and it uses this XML layout file…that has a TextView that simply presents the text,…this is the fragment.…
So if I were to simply navigate to the DetailActivity,…that's the text that I would see.…And that's what I would want to do on a phone.…But on a tablet, I might want to present my primary fragment…and my detail fragment side-by-side.…In my MainActivity class, I already have code in place…to detect what kind of device I'm working on.…And I've added a FloatingActionButton…that executes this method, viewDetailFragment,…and that's where I'll place my conditional code.…
