As previously discussed, a fragment is very much like a sub-activity with its own layout, class and lifecycle.

This raises the question as to which class receives an event from a view in a fragment; the fragment itself, or the activity in which the fragment is embedded. The answer to this question depends on how the event handler is declared.
In the chapter entitled “An Overview and Example of Android Event Handling”, two approaches to event handling were discussed. The first method involved configuring an event listener and callback method within the code of the activity. For example:
binding.button.setOnClickListener(
