8.3.6. Extending Class ListFragment to Create a Fragment That Contains a ListView

When a Fragment’s primary task is to display a scrollable list of items, you can extend class ListFragment (package android.app, Section 8.6)—this is nearly identical to extending ListActivity, as you did in Chapter 4. A ListFragment uses a ListView as its default layout. In this app, rather than an ArrayAdapter, we’ll use a CursorAdapter (package android.widget) to display the results of a database query in the ListView.
