Unable to cast Action Provider to Share Action Provider

Question

Below is the code for my Activity

    import android.app.Activity;
    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.support.v7.widget.ShareActionProvider;
          


        

Answer 1

You are using android.widget.ShareActionProvider, which is for the native API Level 11+ action bar. If you are using the AppCompat backport of the action bar, you need to use android.support.v7.widget.ShareActionProvider instead.
