On this new project, when setting a toolbar into the main activity java file, it gets the error on
"setSupportActionBar(mToolbar)" saying "getSupportActionBar() in AppCompatActivity cannot be applyed to (android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar)"
On similar questions, the answers was just to change from "import android.widget.Toolbar" to "import android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar" which is already set. The main activity xml is this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@color/colorAccent"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<include
android:id="@+id/main_page_toolbar"
layout="@layout/app_bar_layout"
>
</include>
</RelativeLayout>
The toolbar I'm trying to insert is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/main_app_bar"
android:background="@color/colorPrimary"
android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
And the main java file:
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private Toolbar mToolbar;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mToolbar = findViewById(R.id.main_page_toolbar);
getSupportActionBar(mToolbar);
getSupportActionBar().setTitle("WhatsApp");
}
}
Am I missing something? A compatibility set?
