“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

Instead of using setSupportActionBar use setActionBar Eg:

android.widget.Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);    
setActionBar(toolbar);

Answer 2

Use ActionBarActivity from support library, ActionBarActivity extends FragmentActivity, So that you can get SupportFragmentManager and set toolbar as actionbar

Ex:

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity
{

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

 FragmentManager manager=this.getSupportFragmentManager();
}

Answer 3

With the latest version of the support library you should make your Activity extend AppCompatActivity as ActionBarActivity has been deprecated.

It provides the same functionality as your ActionBarActivity previously did. You shouldn't need to make any further changes.
