Difference between activity_main.xml and fragment_main_dummy.xml?

Why is there a dummy layout file created in each new Android app in Eclipse? I don't know why it's there and can't find an explanation for it.

There is the activity_main.xml and then there is the fragment_main_dummy.xml file. Which one is the main one that I should dump my controls on?

These two file created which is basic template provided by the android for the Fragments. As you create a project as Fragment project it will add the two layout files one will be the simple file and other will contain the Fragment.

Creates a new master/detail flow, allowing users to view a collection of objects as well as details for each object. This flow is presented using two columns on tablet-size screens and one column on handsets and smaller screens. The template creates activities, a master fragment, and a detail fragment.

Its a templates in android in which on it master file and another is a detail fragment layout.

From that the activity_main.xml will be always main file. And the fragment_main_dummy.xml is the details fragment file layout.
