So i have recently been working on switching my application over to using Fragments to make it a bit more flexible. One thing I have noticed is that when I inflate my fragment view, it is not taking up the entire screen, there is still a gap at the top (below actionbar) that is actually part of my activity_main.xml
here are my view and where i inflate.
activity_main.xml

MainActivity.java (inflating fragment here)
if (fragment != null) {
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.main_container, fragment).commit();
// update selected item and title, then close the drawer
mDrawerList.setItemChecked(position, true);
mDrawerList.setSelection(position);
setTitle(navMenuTitles[position]);
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mDrawerList);
} else {
// error in creating fragment
Log.e("MainActivity", "Error in creating fragment");
}
Funny thing is, if I use an intent and call my NewRecord.java class the view works just fine. If I inflate my NewRecordFragment.java which is replacing NewRecord.java, is when I have the issue.
Any ideas?
