Q:

android what to use instead of onRestart() in a fragment

I'm dealing with .setVisibility() of a view, inside my main fragment at app start.
So what I want is that the view is invisible on app start (for this i set INVISIBLE inside onCreateView) and to be visible when I come back to my fragment from other activities while the app is open (and for this I tried to use onRestart() to set view VISIBLE but it cannot resolve onRestart method)
is onRestart deprecated or?
thanks
EDIT: for all the answers below suggesting to use an onResume (and whom gave a -1), onResume doesn't work as onRestart at all, cause is being called right after onCreateView.

A:

Fragments don't have onRestart(). It's only for Activities.
See the lifecycle of fragments below

I suppose you're looking for onResume() instead

Use a boolean flag to check whether or not you're returning to the Fragment:
private boolean firstVisit;

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    //other stuff
    firstVisit = true;
}

@Override
public void onResume() {
    //other stuff
    if (firstVisit) {
        //do stuff for first visit only

        firstVisit = false;
    }
}
