android - Starting activity inside fragment boundaries itself -

i want start new activity inside fragment boundaries instead of loading in complete new full screen.

i tried :

fragmentmanager fragmentmanager = getfragmentmanager(); fragmenttransaction fragmenttransaction = fragmentmanager.begintransaction();  intent intent = new intent(this,menufragmentactivity.class); menufragment newfragment = new menufragment(); fragmenttransaction.add(r.id.menufragment,newfragment); newfragment.startactivity(intent); fragmenttransaction.commit(); 

but starts activity in new screen rather in confined fragment ?

the behavior you're seeing correct.

for layout purposes, activities cannot "children" of fragments. it's other way around: fragments children of activities. so, basically, you're trying won't work.

you should read full fragments guide if haven't already. here's relevant quote layouts:

when add fragment part of activity layout, lives in viewgroup inside activity's view hierarchy , fragment defines own view layout. can insert fragment activity layout declaring fragment in activity's layout file, <fragment> element, or application code adding existing viewgroup.

instead of starting new activity, try loading fragment within original fragment's layout.
