I'm just mucking around with Android tablet stuff in 3.0. I have fragments set up to do the equivalent of UISplitViewController for iPad. Anyone know what the best solution to get something like the iPad UIPopOverController is?
I'm thinking the options are either a separate dialog or something in the Action Bar ...?
I haven't actually seen any Android tablets running 3.0 so not clear what the standard will be ...
Many thanks in advance
This may not be exactly what you are looking for because I'm not all that familiar with UIPopOverController but I think you can accomplish something similar using a Toast with a customized layout.
I would take a look at Creating Toast Notifications and see if it works for you.
Depending on the functionality needed it might work, otherwise you might need to look into trying to generate a modeless dialog with a custom layout.
As for your other question, yes options are generally stored in a separate activity within your application and following Honeycomb design the options activity would be accessible from the Action Bar and the options itself could be a fragment.
