When using fragments that take some time to load content such as a web page, a video or large data it would be useful to somehow be able to preload the fragment before showing it in the FragmentManager.

In my specific case I have a Fragment that has a WebView that loads content that can take a few seconds to load and I am trying to make the Fragment switch more seamless where the fragment has its content loaded instead of showing a blank or loading screen.

The best example I can give would be similar to how ViewPager works where it will preload off screen fragments so that the content is ready when the user navigates to it (obviously not trying to use ViewPager to accomplish this because that removes the possibility for things transitions)

A workaround I have been using but is by no means perfect is making use of `postponeEnterTransition`, it works in some cases like going from one local video to another or Images but not all cases.

Searching StackOverflow there seems to be decent interest in this as there are a number of questions in regards to doing this and all suggestions just end up at saying use ViewPager which seems like a very hacky workaround plus you lose features.
