When a Fragment displaying info for a custom Session object is created, I need to load the UI with the properties for the selected Session.
This works fine when the Fragment is created for the first time
I wrote the code for the set up in onStart, because layout isn't inflated until onCreateView, which is called before onStart. (http://developer.android.com/guide/components/fragments.html)
The problem is : Whenever the phone is rotated, the app crashes, apparently because onStart gets called,
I tried using onActivityCreated and onResume instead but neither worked, and this are the only three functions called automatically after onCreateView
What can I do without disabling rotation ?
There is a good diagram of the fragment lifecycle here: http://developer.android.com/guide/components/fragments.html
