多个片段能否共享一个 XML 布局

Question

I have multiple fragments that share the same layout which is a RecyclerView inside a LinearLayout . In the past, I had files like:

fragment_one.xml fragment_two.xml fragment_three.xml fragment_four.xml

Though, I am currently questioning if it is better, to use a single layout named, for example, fragment_generic . Is this a good or bad idea?

Thanks.

Answer 1

It actually depends on your use case. If you have like 5 fragments which have the same layout ie a single recyclerview list. It is better to use a single layout for all the purposes. That makes the application really compact.

Later, when some changes come into place and you want to add item, let's suppose a fab icon, then create a new layout and use it for the changed fragment only.

So about your question, yes it would be the best idea to use the same layout for these 4 fragments.
