Can you explain the differences between onDestroyView and onDestroy methods in the Fragment lifecycle?

The onDestroyView() method is called when the fragment's view is destroyed, but the fragment itself still exists. This happens, for example, when switching between fragments, and you need to release resources related to the UI but keep the fragment's state.

The onDestroy() method is called when the fragment is completely destroyed and removed from memory. Here, you should release all remaining resources associated with the fragment, including those not related to the UI.

Summary:

• onDestroyView() — only the view is destroyed, the fragment remains alive.
• onDestroy() — the fragment itself is destroyed.

Example:

override fun onDestroyView() {
    super.onDestroyView()
    // Clear references to the view to avoid memory leaks
    binding = null
}

override fun onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy()
    // Release other resources, e.g., cancel coroutines
}
