Ok, tal vez fui un poco demasiado severo con la documentación de Android, porque tiene información útil, pero lamentablemente ninguna está vinculada a setRetainInstance(). De la página sobre fragmentos
Nota: Cada fragmento requiere un identificador único que el sistema puede usar para restaurar el fragmento si se reinicia la actividad (y que puede usar para capturar el fragmento para realizar transacciones, como eliminarlo). Hay tres formas de proporcionar un ID para un fragmento:
- Proporcione el atributo android: id con una ID única.
- Proporcione el atributo android: tag con una cadena única.
- Si no proporciona ninguno de los dos anteriores, el sistema usa el ID de la vista del contenedor.
Esto implica firmemente que si lo hace setContentView(R.layout.whatever)en Activity.onCreated()y que la disposición contiene un fragmento con setRetainInstance(true), a continuación, cuando se vuelve a crear la actividad que se buscará de nuevo utilizando su identificador o etiqueta.
En segundo lugar, para los fragmentos sin interfaz de usuario, establece
Para agregar un fragmento sin una interfaz de usuario, agregue el fragmento de la actividad usando agregar (Fragmento, Cadena) (proporcionando una "etiqueta" de cadena única para el fragmento, en lugar de una ID de vista). Esto agrega el fragmento, pero, debido a que no está asociado con una vista en el diseño de la actividad, no recibe una llamada a onCreateView (). Entonces no es necesario implementar ese método.
Y los documentos enlazan con un muy buen ejemplo, FragmentRetainInstance.javaque he reproducido a continuación para su conveniencia. Hace exactamente lo que especulé que era la respuesta en mi pregunta ( if (...findFragmentByTag() == null) { ...).
Finalmente, creé mi propia actividad de prueba para ver exactamente qué funciones se llaman. Produce esto, cuando comienzas en vertical y giras a horizontal. El código está a continuación.
(Esto se edita un poco para que sea más fácil de leer).
TestActivity@415a4a30: this()
TestActivity@415a4a30: onCreate()
TestActivity@415a4a30: Existing fragment not found.
TestFragment{41583008}: this() TestFragment{41583008}

TestFragment{41583008}: onDetach()
TestActivity@415a4a30: onDestroy()
TestActivity@415a3380: this()
TestFragment{41583008}: onAttach(TestActivity@415a3380)
TestActivity@415a3380: onCreate()
TestActivity@415a3380: Existing fragment found.
TestFragment{41583008}: onCreateView()
TestFragment{41583008}: onActivityCreated()
TestActivity@415a3380: onStart()
TestFragment{41583008}: onStart()
TestActivity@415a3380: onResume()
TestFragment{41583008}: onResume()
Tenga en cuenta que la documentación de Android está mal: el fragmento de IU-menos no recibir una llamada a onCreateView()pero es libre de volver null.
