title: Advantage of ListFragment over a ListView or normal Fragment
body: <p>I have an activity with a menu of items running down the left side that are textViews.  when the user selects one of the textViews it will put a listView in the rest of the area of the activity taking up the other 2\3 of the screen. when the user touches a different textView on that left side menu of the page, it will open a different corresponding listView of items.</p>
  
  <p>i was considering putting a large listview on the screen for this purpose.  however one other way is instead of using a regular listView in the activity,  i could put a list fragment in there and switch between fragments. </p>
  
  <p>The third choice is to put a fragment in there and put a listView inside of that fragment. I have never used ListFragment before.</p>
  
  <p>which would be the best plan considering that there will be no orientation change?  the activity will be locked in the vertical / portrait orientation.  this will be running on a tablet, not used on smaller devices like phones.</p>
  
  <p>i don't know if i will need to use loaders, because the list will not be long and the contents of the list will be text only.</p>
  
  <p>is there any advantage to using listFragment over the other choices?</p>
  
  <p>The three choices for this activity:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>activity with <code>ListView</code> on it</p></li>
  <li><p>activity with <code>ListFragment</code> on it</p></li>
  <li><p>activity with fragment on it that has <code>ListView inside of the</code>Fragment`</p></li>
  </ol>
