Android - onAttach(Context) not called for API 23

Question

I\'ve updated the SDK to the latest version (API 23) and the onAttach(Activity) method for fragment is deprecated. So instead of using that method, now I\'m usi

Answer 1

I came up with the same issue. I have a minSdkVersion of 19 and a targetSdkVersion of 23 and I am using fragmentManager in an AppCompatActivity.

onAttach(Activity activity) is marked as deprecated but I ran into app crashes when I replaced it with onAttach(Context context).

So instead, I now have both versions present and when I run my app on API22, onAttach(Activity activity) is fired, even though it is marked as deprecated.

I have not tested it on an Android Marshmallow device, but my understanding is that it would run the onAttach(Context context) version, ignoring the other one.

Update to take into account @skaar's observation in the comments below: I could now test on API23 and can confirm that running on platform 23 causes both methods (with Activity and Context) to be called. Thanks for the heads up!
