Cannot convert from android.support.v4.app.Fragment to android.app.Fragment

Question

I\'m doing my first Android app, and wanted to get straight into the ICS API. I have so far created an app using an ActionBar, with swipeable tabs using Viewpager and Fragme

Answer 1

Whats going on here?

While the Android Support package gives you a backwards-compatible Fragment implementation, the ActionBar is not part of the Android Support package. Hence, ActionBar.TabListener is expecting native API Level 11 Fragment objects. Consider using ActionBarSherlock to have both an action bar and Android Support fragments.

but then I'm left with another problem in my FragmentPagerAdapter

The FragmentPagerAdapter in the Android Support package is a bit messy -- it wants API Level 11 Fragment objects, not Android Support Fragment objects. However, you can clone the source to FragmentPagerAdapter (source is in your SDK) and create your own implementation that uses the support.v4 flavor of Fragment and kin.
