[android-developers] Using v4 Fragments with v11 ActionBar tabs
I'm having trouble implementing ActionBar tabs whilst also using backward-compatible Fragments (with the compatibility package). The main issue being that ActionBar.TabListener expects android.app.Fragment, and my Fragment classes inherit from android.support.v4.app.Fragment. Therefore I can't use my Fragments with the ActionBar on 3.0-and-later devices. Anyone have any ideas how I can solve or work around this? (besides just not using tabs) -dave -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

(besides just not using tabs) ActionBar.TabListener does not expect android.app.Fragment. It does, however, supply an android.app.FragmentTransaction as a parameter, rather than the Android Compatibility Library implementation of FragmentTransaction. What seems to be working for me is to simply ignore the passed-in FragmentTransaction and use your own.

Re: [android-developers] Using v4 Fragments with v11 ActionBar tabs
As far as I know, you can't use the ActionBar pre-Honeycomb anyway. So you wouldn't have a scenario in which you'd be able to use the ActionBar unless you're targeting Honeycomb. And to clarify, I don't know much, so I could be completely wrong. :) -- Chris Stewart http://chriswstewart.com On Tue, Apr 19, 2011 at 11:10 AM, Dave Johnston john...@gmail.com wrote: I'm having trouble implementing ActionBar tabs whilst also using backward-compatible Fragments (with the compatibility package).

No, but you can have an application that uses the Android Compatibility Library for older devices, yet you want to use the ActionBar on Honeycomb tablets. In fact, I would expect the vast majority of Android Compatibility Library apps will take this approach. Now, how many of them will want to use tabs on their action bar is another matter entirely. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android 3.0 Programming Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
