Answer 1

From this ActionBarActivity startSupportActionMode (ActionMode.Callback callback) is method of ActionBarActivity which is used for ActionBar

if your Activity extend ActionBarActivity you can set like .

For ActionBarActivity

ActionBarActivity activity=(ActionBarActivity)getActiivty();
activity.startSupportActionMode(modeCallBack);

For Activity

getActivity().startActionMode(modeCallBack);
