Cannot call getSupportFragmentManager() from activ

Question

I have an activity which has a fragment.

XML:

 <fragment android:name="com.example.androidcalculator.ResultFragment"
            android:id="@+id/result_fragment"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

And I want to call a method from ResultFragment from a method in the Activity, but getSupportFragmentManager "doesn't exist":

FragmentManager fragMan = getSupportFragmentManager();

How can I resolve this?

Answer 1

This worked for me. Running android API 19 and above.

FragmentManager fragMan = getFragmentManager();

Answer 2

getCurrentActivity().getFragmentManager()

Answer 3

Simply Use

 FragmentManager fm = getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager();

Remember always when accessing fragment inflating in MainLayout use Casting or getActivity().
