Designing activity with two fragments

Question

How do i proceed with designing an android activity with two fragments such their layout are as follows in landscape and portrait mode respectively. I tried putting two fragments inside a frame layout set as vertical but it didnt work. I tried this with linear layout but didnt get expected result

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:baselineAligned="false"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<fragment
    android:id="@+id/titles"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_weight="2"
    class="com.examples.fragments.Fragment1" />

<fragment
    android:id="@+id/details"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_weight="2"
    class="com.examples.fragments.Fragment2" /></LinearLayout>

Answer 1

A FrameLayout doesn't have an orientation. You should use a LinearLayout . It supports the android:orientation attribute.

And by the looks of your disign you might need to use android:layout_weight with android:layout_height="0dp" (or android:layout_width="0dp" ) as well.

Answer 2

You should use a LinearLayout with orientation attribute. You can design two different layout. Check this link for this second approach:
