Android Compatibility Pack does not include Activity.getFragmentManager ()

Question

I started trying to add fragments to my version 2.1-based Android app using the Android Compatibility Package, which was released only on March 3. I included the library in my project and started moving the code from my activity-based class to fragmented, but I noticed that the snippet examples from Google seem to rely on the Activity class in 3.0 (Honeycomb) to have a new getFragmentManager ( ) This seems to be an integral hook into the Fragment system.

I tried to look into the compatibility package library for some of the included Activity actions that have getFragmentManager () but I cannot find it. Does anyone know where I can find getFragmentManager (), so I can enable Fragments for Honeycomb compatibility, or if you don't know how to include fragments without using FragmentManager?

Answer 1

You will need to expand FragmentActivity instead of the usual Activity . Then you can call getSupportFragmentManager() , which works just like getFragmentManager() .

Answer 2

You need to change your Android object to API level = 12

Answer 3

For people trying to do this job with the Google Maps SDK, see getFragmentManager with API8 and don't forget to update your layout file too!
