I'm sure Fragments will be a part of future Mono-on-Android implementations that target Honeycomb and newer Android releases.Craig Dunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09377896535933926653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621561.post-11761399720993725682011-07-14T07:15:23.918-07:002011-07-14T07:15:23.918-07:00Nice Explanation, but to support tablet and future...Nice Explanation, but to support tablet and future ice cream sandwich you should also show the example using the fragments API which is back compatible by jar to Android 1.6. So you would want the Activity with a fragment with the actual UI logic. That way the fragment could be composed into a more elaborate tablet friendly layout. Hopefully Mono-On-Android will have fragments from the beginning. Thanks for the good blog posts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03808577234323063678noreply@blogger.com
