Android Studio - How To Add A Fragment? (January 2019 Update)

Question

The new Android Studio update came out sometime last week (January 2019 Version 3.3). In the previous version you'd be able to create new project and click a checkbox that said "add a fragment". Unfortunately, in the new update I can't find this checkbox or anything related.

Do we now have to add fragments by hand? Or is there a way to create a project with a fragment?

Answer 1

I found the solution. Before Version 3.3 you were able to create a new project and set the basic activity as a fragment. Since Version 3.3 update it no longer gives you the option to create a fragment when creating a new project.

So this is how you're supposed to do it:

Create a new project with whatever activities you want.

Switch to Android View -> Right click on "app" under the navigator -> New -> Activity -> Basic Activity Now a separate window will open up and you're able to select the checkbox "Use a fragment".
