Android : What is the difference between activity and fragment

on Saturday, September 13, 2014


My research ::Significant difference is the concept of backstack and how they exist


Activity::




  • When an activity is placed to the backstack of activities the user can navigate back to the previous activity by just pressing the back button.




  • Activity can exist independently.




Fragment::




  • When an fragment is placed to the activity we have to request the instance to be saved by calling addToBackstack() during the fragment transaction.




  • Fragment has to live inside the activity






Are there any additional differences ?
