Tell Fragment which XML to Inflate

Question

I start with a home fragment that opens either a listFragment(Al) or I can choose a normal Fragment(Jim). If my new Fragment(Bob) is called from the listFragment(Al), I want Fragment(Bob) to call XML A. If Fragment(Bob) is called from Fragment(Jim) I want Fragment(Bob) to inflate XML B. How do I pass a value from listFragment(Al) and Fragment(Jim) that can be checked in the onCreateView of Fragment(Bob) so that Fragment(Bob) knows which XML to inflate?

Hope that all makes sense.

Thanks.

Use get/set arguments: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Fragment.html#getArguments()

[edit]

So when you create Fragment Bob from Fragment Jim you could do something like this:

Bob b = Bob.newInstance();
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.put("resourceId", R.id.XMLB);
b.setArguemnts(bundle);

or you could even in the newInstance method take in the resourceId

Bob b = new Bob.newInstance(R.id.XMLB);

I figure thats what I need to use, the problem is I can't make anything out of that. – Joshua Sutherland Mar 31 '11 at 13:31
Ok. So once I have that set how does Bob know to use that XML when inflating the view? – Joshua Sutherland Mar 31 '11 at 22:02
Ya. Sorry. There you go. Thanks – Joshua Sutherland Apr 01 '11 at 20:21
