FragmentSwitcher

FragmentSwitcher is an adapter-based, state-saving fragment container similar to a ViewPager.

It was designed with the NavigationDrawer and Tab patterns in mind but can be used anywhere that you switch between fragments and would like to retain instance state.

Retains instance state of Fragments even when removing them from your activity.
Compatible with existing adapters: FragmentPagerAdapter and FragmentStatePagerAdapter
Adapter determines fragment retention policy. See the documentation for the two adapters above.
Includes two new adapters: FragmentArrayPagerAdapter and FragmentStateArrayPagerAdapter. You no longer have to subclass PagerAdapter to use FragmentSwitcher, just supply an array of fragments.

The sample app shows a demo of a navigation drawer with a lot fragments in a FragmentStateArrayPagerAdapter that can maintain the state of an edittext and listview. The sample also includes an example of saving a ListView's adapter content to InstanceState and restoring it later.
