“setSupportActionBar(toolbar)” inside FragmentActi

Question

How do I access setSupportActionBar(Toolbar toolbar) inside FragmentActivity? I can't access it inside FragmentActivity

toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.search_bar);
setSupportActionBar( toolbar);

Answer 1

AppCompatActivity extends FragmentActivity

public class AppCompatActivity extends FragmentActivity implements AppCompatCallback, SupportParentable, DelegateProvider

you can use AppCompatActivity instead

Answer 2

Use this methods your activity need to extend ActionBarActivity instead of FragmentActivity

toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.search_bar);
setSupportActionBar( toolbar);

Hope it helps

Answer 3

If you want your ViewPager to add fragments, you can extend AppCompatActivity, it also works. (Often, we extend FragmentActivity, but after that setSupportActionBar( toolbar) doesn't work) So, we can extend AppCompatActivity instead of extending FragmentActivity.

Answer 4

If your class extends FragmentActivity

and if the toolbar is inside the layout you used, it will be set by default. To access it simply do

(Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar)

Answer 5

You can just extend your class with AppCompatActivity, since AppCompatActivity extends FragmentActivity internally. Also, ActionBarActivity is deprecated.

Answer 6

For FragmenrtActivity, you should look into FragmentTabHost, and to add tabs simply:

tab = (FragmentTabHost)findViewById(android.R.id.tabhost);
tab.setup(this, getSupportFragmentManager(), android.R.id.tabcontent);
tab.addTab(tabs.newTabSpec("tab1").setIndicator("TAB1"), tab1.class, null);
