Apps Replacing duplicate layout code with fragment

[croninberg]

Right so I have this little layout as follows,

<ScrollView
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@color/displayBackground">

    <LinearLayout
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:padding="10dp"
        >
       
        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="vertical"
            android:background="@drawable/shape">

            <!-- Basic Info -->
            <RelativeLayout
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:paddingTop="2dp"
                android:paddingBottom="2dp"
                android:paddingStart="@dimen/info_padding_left"
                android:paddingEnd="@dimen/info_padding_right"
                android:paddingLeft="@dimen/info_padding_left"
                android:paddingRight="@dimen/info_padding_right"
                android:background="@drawable/text_view_heading">

                <TextView

            </RelativeLayout>

        </LinearLayout>

    </LinearLayout>

</ScrollView>

As you can see I have this repeating nested relative layout many times. Now this entire view is actually a fragment itself, so can I create a fragment out of the relative layout and call that multiple times within the parent linear layout? How would I call it so I can show different text in each fragment?

I'd create a new Fragment class for the RelativeLayout, then add this Framgment dynamically at runtime, however many times is necessary. Show different text in each Fragment by passing as a parameter in the constructor.
See the link below for guidance on adding Fragments dynamically:

Brilliant, I'll indulge into that when I get home, thanks!
