can I use a compatible action bar AND a fragment in the same activity?

Question

OK, I\'ve been extending my activities to

extends ActionBarActivity

My main menu page

extends FragmentActivity

Answer 1

Experienced same problem and the solution, as mentioned in other responses, is to edit your ActionBarActivity class.

This class is defined in your code (com.google.android.actionbarcompat). The only thing you have to do is change extends Activity to extends FragmentActivity from the android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity.
