How do I see which activity a fragment is a part of?

I am viewing somebody's code and I see that they can just call getActivity(). How can I figure out which activity the fragment is a part of?

Well, getActivity() method gives you the parent activity of the fragment. Then you can use, for example, .class.getSimpleName() to get that activity's name. Is this what you need?
