 <p>I am currently using a <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/app/FragmentTabHost.html" rel="nofollow">FragmentTabHost</a> and it's just perfect!</p> <p>You can have your ListFragment and a simple Fragment with your details. And use your FragmentActivity to communicate with them.</p> <p>You just need to override the <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19029548/communicate-with-a-fragment-in-a-fragmenttabhost">onAttach method</a> of your activity which is called when a Fragment is displayed.</p>
