Android - Mutiple views or run-time fragment replacement?

I would like to create an user interface that always displays a menu panel on the left side, and a content block which changes depending on which menu entry is selected, i.e something similar to many websites.

I am new to creating Android user interfaces so I am wondering how to properly and dynamically change the content.

Is it better to create two different views, each of them including the same panel fragment (meaning 2 instances ?) and a different content fragment, and change that view using Activity#setContentView(), or should I create a single view and replace the fragment of the content dynamically ?

You should definitely use the Fragment approach.

Use a FragmentActivity and use the FragmentManager (getFragmentManager in the Activity) to create a transition and replace the Fragment depending on what item the user clicked.

See: http://developer.android.com/training/basics/fragments/fragment-ui.html
