I would ask how they dealt with nested fragments pain

  Don't nest fragments. Just don't. Fragments are half baked. Nested fragments are half (quarter?) baked. In most cased the inner fragment could be made into a custom View, and those work a lot better. Most new Android developer do not make enough custom views. They are the fundamental unit of UI re-use. It's relatively simple to extends FrameLayout or RelativeLayout, encapsulate a view normal views, layer your logic on top, and you have a nice usable component.

    As an experienced Android dev, I cannot agree more. I have never had a particularly fun experience with fragments, although they definitely have their place. Custom views though... I love them more every day.

  We had high hopes for nested fragments, especially to support UI interactions like those in the Gmail app: http://stackoverflow.com/q/12253965/2561578 http://stackoverflow.com/q/12253965/2561578 However, in our v1 the only fragments that share an activity are our main feed & story view. All other's have their own activity. It made data flow a lot easier, our manifest file a lot cleaner when filtering for intents, etc. Interested to hear any tips if you have them!
