I created a bug report for this a couple of days ago, but it doesn't seem to have received any attention:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=14796 To reproduce the problem, add the following callback override to the TitlesFragment class in FragmentLayout.java under the ApiDemos project in samples for Honeycomb Preview: @Override public void onInflate(AttributeSet attrs, Bundle savedInstanceState) { Bundle args = new Bundle(); for(int i=0; i<attrs.getAttributeCount(); i++) { Log.v("14796", " " + attrs.getAttributeName(i) + " = " + attrs.getAttributeValue(i)); args.putString(attrs.getAttributeName(i), attrs.getAttributeValue(i)); } this.setArguments(args); super.onInflate(attrs, savedInstanceState); } This is doing what the the documentation says you should do. That is, take attributes passed in and save them in the arguments bundle on the fragment instance. However, if you launch this activity then rotate the screen, the activity crashes with an IllegalStateException. And it does that because onInflate() gets called way too late when Android is rebuilding the activity and its fragments. If the layout for the other orientation is different that the previous layout, you'll have no way to use any of the attributes in onCreateView() for the fragment, because onInflate() isn't being called until later. I haven't come up with a workaround either. The fragment can't even see the activity until onAttach(), and you can't set the arguments bundle once onAttach() has been called. The sample activities so far haven't tried to utilize this feature, so perhaps it won't affect most people. But for those who need or want it, it doesn't seem to work. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
