Who calls fragment lifecycle methods (onCreate, onCreteView etc.) explicitly?

Question

I looked at the source code of fragment (v4) http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/4.0.1_r1/android/support/v4/app/Fragment.java#Fragment but i cannot figure out who is calling lifecycle methods? who is standing behind that? some object or method must explictly call onCreate, onCreatView etc...

Answer 1

Fragments share their lifecycle with their parent activity, which calls the lifecycle methods implicitly.

You can find the code here, with methods like dispatchActivityCreated, dispatchDestroy, etc.
