I do not want to use the Fragment\'s from Android.Support.V4.App, as my target API is 14 and higher (Andr

Had the same issue. My solution was to copy the code from android.support.v4.app.FragmentPagerAdapter, then change the imported Fragment class to android.app.Fragment. Afterwards do other minor adaptions to remove all errors. To my surprise it works perfectly. IMO this is simpler than adding a support library that you do not really need.

import android.app.Fragment;
import android.app.FragmentManager;
import android.app.FragmentTransaction;
import android.os.Parcelable;
import android.support.v4.view.PagerAdapter;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;

/**
 * PagerAdapter for ViewPager that is compatible with android.app.Fragment.
 */
abstract class FragmentPagerAdapter extends PagerAdapter {

    private final FragmentManager mFragmentManager;
    private FragmentTransaction mCurTransaction = null;
    private Fragment mCurrentPrimaryItem = null;

    /**
     * Returns a unique id for the fragment on the given position.
     * For example this can be the view id that is used on the page's fragment.
     * @param position The page index
     * @return An id that is unique with respect to the pages in the adapter.
     */
    abstract long getItemId(int position);

    /**
     * Returns the fragment for the given page index.
     * @param position The page index
     * @return The fragment
     */
    abstract Fragment getItem(int position);

    public FragmentPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fragmentManager) {
        super();
        mFragmentManager = fragmentManager;
    }

    @Override
    public Object instantiateItem(ViewGroup container, int position) {
        if (mCurTransaction == null) {
            mCurTransaction = mFragmentManager.beginTransaction();
        }

        final long itemId = getItemId(position);

        // Do we already have this fragment?
        String name = makeFragmentName(container.getId(), itemId);
        Fragment fragment = mFragmentManager.findFragmentByTag(name);
        if (fragment != null) {
            mCurTransaction.attach(fragment);
        } else {
            fragment = getItem(position);
            mCurTransaction.add(container.getId(), fragment,
                    makeFragmentName(container.getId(), itemId));
        }
        if (fragment != mCurrentPrimaryItem) {
            fragment.setMenuVisibility(false);
        }

        return fragment;
    }

    @Override
    public void destroyItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
        if (mCurTransaction == null) {
            mCurTransaction = mFragmentManager.beginTransaction();
        }
        mCurTransaction.detach((Fragment) object);
    }

    @Override
    public void setPrimaryItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
        Fragment fragment = (Fragment)object;
        if (fragment != mCurrentPrimaryItem) {
            if (mCurrentPrimaryItem != null) {
                mCurrentPrimaryItem.setMenuVisibility(false);
            }
            if (fragment != null) {
                fragment.setMenuVisibility(true);

    @Override
    public boolean isViewFromObject(View view, Object object) {
        return ((Fragment)object).getView() == view;

    private static String makeFragmentName(int viewId, long id) {
        return "android:switcher:" + viewId + ":" + id;
