How to check the layout and inflate in android fragment?

Issue

What I would like to achieve in a fragment is

1. get the data from network
2. from the data, check which layout I need to inflate

However, the fragment cycle seems to be a sequential flow

That means the return rootView is run before the async task finish, how to fix it ? thanks

Solution

I don't think this is a good design choice. Before you call this new fragment, in your activity, for example, you could do this checking and start a new fragment with an argument indicating the right layout. Or, you can have two diferent fragments, and start the right you. This last choice seems more elegant, since a fragment should encapsulate the layout.
