Summary: React Native on Android has currently been focused and targeted at using an [Activity](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html) for its main form of instantiation. While this has probably worked for most companies and developers, you lose some of the modularity of a more cohesive application when working in a "brown-field" project that is currently native. This hurts more companies that are looking to adopt React Native and slowly implement it in a fully native application. A lot of developers follow Android's guidelines of using Fragments in their projects, even if it is a debated subject in the Android community, and this addition will allow others to embrace React Native more freely. (I even assume it could help with managing navigation state in applications that contain a decent amount of Native code and would be appreciated in those projects. Such as sharing the Toolbar, TabBar, ViewPager, etc in Native Android) Even with this addition, a developer will still need to host the fragment in an activity, but now that activity can contain native logic like a Drawer, Tabs, ViewPager, etc. **Test plan (required)** * We have been using this class at Hudl for over a couple of months and have found it valuable. * If the community agrees on the addition, I can add documentation to the Android sections to include notes about the potential of this Fragment. * If the community agrees on the addition, I can update one or more of the examples in the `/Examples` folder and make use of the Fragment, or even create a new example that uses a native layout manager like Drawer, Tabs, Viewpager, etc) Make sure tests pass on both Travis and Circle CI. _To Note:_ * There is also talk of using React Native inside Android Fragment's without any legit documentation, this could help remedy some of that with more documentation included in this PR https://facebook.github.io/react-native/releases/0.26/docs/embedded-app-android.html#sharing-a-reactinstance-across-multiple-activities-fragments-in-your-app * Others have also requested something similar and have a half-baked solution as well http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35221447/react-native-inside-a-fragment [ANDROID][FEATURE][ReactAndroid/src/main/java/com/facebook/react/ReactFragment.java] - Adds support for Android's Fragment system. This allows for a more hybrid application. <!-- Help reviewers and the release process by writing your own release notes **INTERNAL and MINOR tagged notes will not be included in the next version's final release notes.** CATEGORY [----------] TYPE [ CLI ] [-------------] LOCATION [ DOCS ] [ BREAKING ] [-------------] [ GENERAL ] [ BUGFIX ] [-{Component}-] [ INTERNAL ] [ ENHANCEMENT ] [ {File} ] [ IOS ] [ FEATURE ] [ {Directory} ] |-----------| [ ANDROID ] [ MINOR ] [ {Framework} ] - | {Message} | [----------] [-------------] [-------------] |-----------| [CATEGORY] [TYPE] [LOCATION] - MESSAGE EXAMPLES: [IOS] [BREAKING] [FlatList] - Change a thing that breaks other things [ANDROID] [BUGFIX] [TextInput] - Did a thing to TextInput [CLI] [FEATURE] [local-cli/info/info.js] - CLI easier to do things with [DOCS] [BUGFIX] [GettingStarted.md] - Accidentally a thing/word [GENERAL] [ENHANCEMENT] [Yoga] - Added new yoga thing/position [INTERNAL] [FEATURE] [./scripts] - Added thing to script that nobody will see --> Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/12199 Differential Revision: D14590665 Pulled By: mdvacca fbshipit-source-id: b50b708cde458f9634e0c14b3952fa32f9d82048
React Native

React Native brings React's declarative UI framework to iOS and Android. With React Native, you use native UI controls and have full access to the native platform.
- Declarative. React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Declarative views make your code more predictable and easier to debug.
- Component-Based. Build encapsulated components that manage their own state, then compose them to make complex UIs.
- Developer Velocity. See local changes in seconds. Changes to JavaScript code can be live reloaded without rebuilding the native app.
- Portability. Reuse code across iOS, Android, and other platforms.

📋 Requirements
React Native apps may target iOS 9.0 and Android 4.1 (API 16) or newer. You may use Windows, macOS, or Linux as your development operating system, though building and running iOS apps is limited to macOS. Tools like Expo can be used to work around this.
🎉 Building your first React Native app
Follow the Getting Started guide. The recommended way to install React Native depends on your project. Here you can find short guides for the most common scenarios:
📖 Documentation
The full documentation for React Native can be found on our website.
The React Native documentation discusses components, APIs, and topics that are specific to React Native. For further documentation on the React API that is shared between React Native and React DOM, refer to the React documentation.
The source for the React Native documentation and website is hosted on a separate repo, @facebook/react-native-website.
🚀 Upgrading
Upgrading to new versions of React Native may give you access to more APIs, views, developer tools and other goodies. See the Upgrading Guide for instructions.
React Native releases are discussed in the React Native Community, @react-native-community/react-native-releases.
