This question is about lower level APIs using the support class for fragments.

I'm trying to convert the To Do List part 2 with fragments to be run-able on lower android API devices. I am programming on my android 2.3.6 phone and I cannot use regular fragments, I have to use the support library's FragmentActivity instead of fragment. There are a few references to higher level fragment references like fragment manager and list fragment. Can someone help me convert the code and confirm that it works? I noticed that when I change the NewItemFragment activity to extend FragmentActivity instead of fragment, the

public void onAttach(Activity activity){

super.onAttach(activity);

Bleeds. I have already looked up a few examples, and stared at the android.development documents, but have not been able to produce a working fragment program. Thanks in advance. Let me know if I need to be more specific.

Post the onCreate method and other relevant lines of codes e.g. class instance variables and methods that are invoked in the onCreate method.

What do you mean by bleed? Do you mean that there is a 'memory leak'/ an object that is not recycled by garbage collection?

What prevents the successful execution of the program, be more specific in your explanation. It would also help if you posted the logcat.

When I develop for the older levels, make sure you use the documentation and the many samples for the old SDKs. I'll bet in the SDK level 10 has good samples of the "then new" now obsolete fragment code. We all have to learn to time travel with the frequency SDKs change.

There are several things you have to do here:

1. Make TodoListActivity extend FragmentActivity.
2. Use this to get the FragmentManager: FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();

I have no idea why they have you create the project with backward support but then don't use the needed support library stuff.
