I need to update a 2.0 plugin to work for 3.0, android. I know 3.0 used fragments - but that's pretty much as far as my knowledge goes. Would anyone throw me a link to a guide or tell me the steps I would need to take to convert an old BT 2.0 android plugin to 3.0 android fragment plugin? Many thanks :-) David Title Comments Hi folks! I need to update a 2.0 plugin to work for 3.0, android. I know 3.0 used fragments - but that's pretty much as far as my knowledge goes.

Then whatever is under onCreate v2,copy in onCreateView in v3. Then all the methods (and maybe classes) under the onCreate closing brace, copy under the closing brace of onCreateView in v3. Also you might get errors on "this" variables. In v2 it was referring to this activity, so in v3 change it to getActivity() I'll post an example when I get home Comments Quick guide while I'm away from the computer: Copy the variables above onCreateView as usual.

There's some other nuances that can hang you up depending on what's in the code of course. Let me know if you need me to take a look. Comments Yep - CMCoffee has covered the basics.

Thanks.

CMCOFFE explained in the post above the general procedure for BT. Google this: "android convert activity to fragment" and you will find a long list of problems and some of them you are guaranteed to be forced to solve, depending on what the plugin does.
