Manage arguments with a factory method

- [Narrator] I've described already…how to pass in arguments into a fragment…from the activity class that's containing the fragment.…There's another way to put this code together though,…that makes it a little bit more streamlined,…and easier to maintain.…One of the common patterns you'll see with fragments…is the use of a factory method…to instantiate the fragment.…A factory method typically is named new instance.…And, in fact, this is so common,…that there's a live template available in Android Studio…to generate the method for you.…

Within the simple fragment class…I'll place the cursor after the no arguments constructor…and I'll start typing new instance,…and when the live template appears…I'll select it, and that generates…a new instance method that returns…an instance of this class.…And there's already code in place here…to create a bundle, and pass the bundle…into the fragment as its arguments.…Now to use this method I'll go back…to my main activity class.…And I'm going to take this bit of code…and I'll make a copy of it.…
