Answer 1

You need to check for a savedInstanceState [edit: in your parent activity], and if it exists, don't create your fragments.

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    if (savedInstanceState == null) {
         // Do your oncreate stuff because there is no bundle   
    }
// Do stuff that needs to be done even if there is a saved instance, or do nothing
}
