    This talk gives us historical reasons for the invention of fragments, as well as their pros/cons. I found that helpful. Also, I liked the part (somewhere after 44:15) when Adam Powell says he thinks options menus should be deprecated and that android.app.FragmentManager actually is deprecated already. Yay.

    How would you scale an ever evolving ui module,without the ability to break/encapsulate/apply SRP to it? how would you present a composite ui, showing different ui pieces of different app features,and stay life cycle aware? that's why fragments,or at least the concept of fragments is essential .Api wise i would prefer moving as much abstractions as possible to xml components, keep those ui controllers lean.

    This is all because the activity instance being destroyed and new one created. Why not fix Activity instead of adding a bunch of new classes (I know they are awesome but still ). Why not retain the activity instance on configuration changed?? I don't get it 😬

    • @IanLake
      @IanLake Před 6 lety +4

      Android has, since the beginning, allowed you to handle configuration changes yourself. However, that involves you manually changing any resources (layouts, dimensions, etc) that differ between the separate configurations. That process is actually a lot more complicated and error prone assuming you are actually doing anything responsive (which you absolutely should) than just keeping your expensive data in a separate ViewModel object.

    • @KasemJaffer
      @KasemJaffer Před 6 lety

      Ian Lake but if the Activity instance was retained we could just rebind our views from any viewmodel variable in the instance. I know this new viewmodel class is helpful for this case but wouldn't it be even better if the Activity instance is retained?

    • @IanLake
      @IanLake Před 6 lety

      Kasem Saeed - that doesn't help you in needing to manually inflate a new layout associated with your new configuration or update the padding on every view that you use a @dimen variable on

    • @KasemJaffer
      @KasemJaffer Před 6 lety

      Ian Lake That can always be taken from the resources inside onCreate method, no need to store it inside the viewmodel. The main issue I'm referring to is the complex variables , asynchronous tasks that is being destroyed along with the Activity. We had to handle that on our own just because the Activity is being destroyed.

    • @IanLake
      @IanLake Před 6 lety

      Kasem Saeed - you need to handle one or the other. Reload every resource by hand or just store your data in something that survives and we'll reload your resources. One is a just a single line of code to access your ViewModel and a simple class, the other requires more and more work as your views and activities grow in complexity. Like I said, you have always been able to do it and for some apps, like a video player, you should definitely consider it. But there's a much, much, much higher chance of forgetting something and doing it wrong. There are specific lint checks to make it very difficult to do anything wrong with a ViewModel

  • @Zhuinden
    @Zhuinden Před 6 lety +4

    7:51 Fragments, and "Retain objects across configuration changes"? You can retain the Fragment itself, but it doesn't have something like onRetainCustomNonConfigurationInstance. It's one of those things in the Fragment API that is hard to do, and which is why ViewModel exists.

      @4RickB Před 5 lety +1

      Usually when they are talking about "app chrome" (and I've seen this in several of the Google I/O videos), they are talking about the common part of an app that doesn't change like the App Navigation Bar or a bottom navigation bar, etc. (The idea of "chrome" is that's it's the decoration around the changing UI screens.)

    If a Fragment was designed to do everything an Activity does plus allow you to compose them, why didn't you just allow Activity to be composed? I'm not saying there isn't a good reason, but I would expect you to address this obvious question.

    How to make instant apps, when all your app is in one activity with fragments ?

    • @IanLake
      @IanLake Před 6 lety

      The important point is using the activity as the entry point to your app. For Instant Apps, you have multiple entry points (each separate feature), so multiple activities are totally in line with that recommendation.

    • @Zhuinden
      @Zhuinden Před 6 lety

      You only need an Activity to enter the app, you can use that entry point to start your "main" activity with the right backstack and just swap out fragments in the main activity container

    • @IanLake
      @IanLake Před 6 lety +16

      robatoto - we actually specifically mentioned that we want to get to the point where there's no magic in Fragments and you (or us) can build something totally new on top of those better signals. That's exactly what we've been doing with Lifecycle and ViewModels and more of that to come. If anything, we're removing more and more things from Fragments, not building on top of them
