Can a fragment hold on to local variables?

[Satya Komatineni]

A fragment can be instantiated using its default constructor by the
base framework.

The initialization arguments are passed as a bundle that can be
restored and reset.

How about local variables for managing state of that fragment?

Does one need to use the bundle to insert/remove these local variables?

Or does one need to reset local variables based on lifecycle methods
and valid only for the current life of the fragment?

Appreciate your coments and help
Satya

If you want to keep them across instances, you need to save and restore them just like in an activity.  My blog post shows an example of this, retaining the mCurCheckPosition variable across instances.
