Fragment must exist dependent on Activity, so the life cycle of Activity will directly affect the life cycle of Fragment. This picture on the official website illustrates the relationship between the two very well:
# You can see that Fragment has several additional life cycle callback functions than Activity:
onAttach(Activity); //当Activity与Fragment发生关联时调用 onCreateView(LayoutInflater,ViewGroup,Bundle); //创建该Fragment的视图 onActivityCreate(bundle); //当Activity的onCreate();方法返回时调用 onDestoryView(); //与onCreateView相对应,当改Fragment被移除时调用 onDetach(); //与onAttach()相对应,当Fragment与Activity的关联被取消时调用
Note: Except for onCreateView, if you override all other methods, you must call the parent class's implementation of this method.
