Access ActionBar from fragment

How do you access the ActionBar from a fragment (android.support.v4.app.Fragment file). I am using Android v4 and v7 support library. I do not use the Sherlock library.

The activity hosting the fragment is ActionBarActivity.

I read the Android Fragment help section, which also led me to getActivity (), but there is no getSupportActionBar () method.

ActionBar actionBar = getActivity().getSupportActionBar()

You will need to specify the result of getActivity() as ActionBarActivity , on which you will find getSupportActionBar() .

If you are using AppCompatActivity then do it like this. ((AppCompatActivity )getActivity()).getSupportActionBar();

It is also recommended that you go to Toolbar using AppCompatActivity instead of the action bar (application bar). For more information, refer to http://android-developers.blogspot.in/2014/10/appcompat-v21-material-design-for-pre.html
