Fragments
Fragments were discussed in Chapter 4, “Android Navigation and Interface Design.” The FragmentActivity is a subclass of the Activity class. An Activity that needs to implement a map must extend the FragmentActivity class rather than the Activity class. This is required because maps are encapsulated in a MapFragment. This allows a map to be a part of a layout rather than the only thing in a layout.
