is it possible to start a Fragment hidden by defining it's state in the XML?
<p>Currently I'm defining a variety of Fragments in the resource file and hiding them in the containing Activity's onCreate method, but I'm not satisfied with this approach as I would expect this to be one of the characteristics that each fragment would define for itself.</p>

<p>Am I objectifying Fragments too much or just missing the technique ?</p>

<p>thanks,
R</p>
