Initializing a Loader in an Activity

Question

I am currently trying to learn how to use Loaders and am having trouble starting a Loader in my activity.

import android.support.v4.app.LoaderManager;
import         


        

Answer 1

As I can see you use supportV4 library. So to implement Loader you should do some things:

1. extend your activity from FragmentActivity class
2. Use getSupportLoaderManager method instead of getLoaderManager

here is sample code:

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.support.v4.app.LoaderManager;
import android.support.v4.content.Loader;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MyActivity extends FragmentActivity implements LoaderManager.LoaderCallbacks
