For use in {@link #restoreActionBar()}. */ private CharSequence mTitle; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_my); mNavigationDrawerFragment = (NavigationDrawerFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.navigation_drawer); mTitle = getTitle(); // Set up the drawer. mNavigationDrawerFragment.setUp( R.id.navigation_drawer, (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout)); } public void doDatePicker(View view) { DialogFragment myDatePickerFragment = new MyDatePickerFragment(); myDatePickerFragment.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "datePicker"); } @Override public void onNavigationDrawerItemSelected(int position) { // update the main content by replacing fragments FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager(); fragmentManager.beginTransaction() .replace(R.id.container, PlaceholderFragment.newInstance(position + 1)) .commit(); } public void onSectionAttached(int number) { switch (number) { case 1: mTitle = getString(R.string.title_section1); break; case 2: mTitle = getString(R.string.title_section2); break; case 3: mTitle = getString(R.string.title_section3); break; } } public void restoreActionBar() { ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar(); actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_STANDARD); actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(true); actionBar.setTitle(mTitle); } @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { if (!mNavigationDrawerFragment.isDrawerOpen()) { // Only show items in the action bar relevant to this screen // if the drawer is not showing. Otherwise, let the drawer // decide what to show in the action bar. getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu); restoreActionBar(); return true; } return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu); } @Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) { // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml. int id = item.getItemId(); //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement if (id == R.id.action_settings) { return true; } return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item); } /** * A placeholder fragment containing a simple view. */ public static class PlaceholderFragment extends Fragment { /** * The fragment argument representing the section number for this * fragment. */ private static final String ARG_SECTION_NUMBER = "section_number"; /** * Returns a new instance of this fragment for the given section * number. */ public static PlaceholderFragment newInstance(int sectionNumber) { PlaceholderFragment fragment = new PlaceholderFragment(); Bundle args = new Bundle(); args.putInt(ARG_SECTION_NUMBER, sectionNumber); fragment.setArguments(args); return fragment; } public PlaceholderFragment() { } @Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) { View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false); return rootView; } @Override public void onAttach(Activity activity) { super.onAttach(activity); ((MainActivity) activity).onSectionAttached( getArguments().getInt(ARG_SECTION_NUMBER)); } } } 

Please, help!

Answer 1

instead of Activity :

 public class MainActivity extends Activity 

expand FragmentActivity :

 public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity 

and make sure you import SupportLibrary :

 import android.support.v4.app.Fragment; 

to use getSupportFragmentManager()

Answer 2

I had the same problem. Then I replaced getSupportFragmentManager() with getFragmentManager() and it will work!

I used these 2 imports:

 import android.support.v4.app.Fragment; import android.app.FragmentTransaction; 

And my MainActivity extended the Activity class.

Answer 3

There have been these problems many times. What worked for me:

Just extend the Main class with AppCompatActivity than regular ACTIVITY

In short:

replace Acivity with AppCompatActivity

Answer 4

Instead, the public class MainActivity extends Activity

make

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity, it supports fragment manager

Answer 5

This will only work if you use the support fragment class, i.e. you must

 import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
