When you create a new Android app in Android Studio, you can choose from one of many available templates. A number of them explicitly use the fragments API, while others give you an option to host visual content in a fragment. The “Blank Activity” template gives you an option to build the activity with a fragment. And the “Master/Detail Flow” template always uses fragments to create a flexible interface that adapts to smaller and larger screens.

It's loading an XML layout file…called activity_main.xml,…and that file in turn is loading a file named content_main.…In this file there's a fragment tag.…
