title: Properly creating a fragment in a PopupWindow
body: <p>I’m new to Android development and am confused about how to accomplish what I’m trying to do. I’ve done some reading and learning about fragments so I can share layout and code between various screen size designs. I’ve got a couple of fragments created and have used them successfully. But I’ve got a situation where I want to show a fragment in a normal activity on the phone, but want to show the fragment in a PopupWindow (or something similar if there’s a better choice) on a tablet. </p>
  
  <p>I’ve managed to figure out how to inflate the fragment and display it in a PopupWindow when a button is clicked. My code looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public void onClick(View v) {
      LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) BrowsingActivity.this.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
      View popupLayout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.serverconnection_fragment, null, false);
      connectionListPopup = new PopupWindow(popupLayout, 300, 470, true);
      connectionListPopup.showAtLocation(BrowsingActivity.this.findViewById(R.id.connectionListImage), Gravity.CENTER, 0, 0);
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The popup appears and contains the UI described in serverconnection_fragment.xml. The problem is that by creating it this way, the Fragment class ServerConnectionFragment.java is never instantiated so there are no items in the list in my UI, no listeners on buttons, and so on. It seems like there should be a way for me to instantiate the java class, have it inflate the fragment normally and attach event listeners, then pass the view created there into the PopupWindow constructor, but I can’t figure out how. Can anyone help me out?</p>
  
  <p>FYI, I’m building this for Android 2.1 using the Android-support-v4.jar file for the Fragment classes.</p>
