Fragments were invented for tablets in order to combine several fragments on one screen. Most commonly they are used in master detail relationships. Look at this question from this point of view. Does it make sense to put two fragments on one screen? Are they connected?

Read this article one more time to clarify when fragments are needed. http://developer.android.com/guide/components/fragments.html

1) You don't have to use fragments if you don't feel they are necessary for your application.

2) Having multiple activities is fine. Most applications do.

3) Having fragments inside fragments is permissible, but you should just be aware that it can cause odd behavior in your application if you are not familiar with the lifecycle events.

4) In the Android Dev Summit (2015), a great overview of a sample Android architecture was presented, I encourage you to view it: here

Hope this helps to clarify things some.
