Extending FragmentActivity instead of Activity
android, fragment
Solution
as `FragmentActivity extends Activity` so looks it's fine.jsut you need to add compitiblilty library if want to give the support for old versions

Even I did same and found no side effect yet
Problem
I have my application code base with multiple activities in it. I have a `BaseActivity` class which extends `Activity` class and is the parent class for all Activities in my application. `BaseActivity` takes care of the state my application goes in background and comes back to foreground. Now I have written few more Activities which are using `fragments` so these new Activities are extending `FragmentActivity`. But my application design requires that all activities should extend `BaseActivity` class. Solution in my mind: - BaseActivity extend FragmentActivity instead of Activity class. - New activities(with fragments) extend BaseActivity instead of directly extending FragmentActivity. With this solution I am afraid of any side effect in my existing activities which were extending `Activity` class (through `BaseActivity`). Now these activities will extend `FragmentActivity` (although they are not having fragments inside). Is it okay if I extend `FragmentActivity` even though I dont have any fragment inside. Will it behave same as Activity?
