Error in startActionMode, appcompat

Question

I used SherlockActionBar in my application, but after I began to use appcompat. And get error

"The method startActionMode(ActionMode.Callback) in the type Activity is not applicable for the arguments (PageFragment.ActionModeCallback)"

in the raw

   mActionMode = getActivity().startActionMode(new ActionModeCallback());

Help me please, what I do incorrect?

Thanks for posting the code. It's a bit long, though--can you please edit your question to include just the relevant parts? @Gopal asked for the imports section, so I imagine you need to include that, and perhaps the specific function which is raising the error. Only include the rest of the code if it's needed. – Carmody

mActionMode = ((ActionBarActivity) getActivity()).startSupportActionMode(new ActionModeCallback()); solution – Ratiocinate

Answer 1

Just to improve readability, according to user3176367, the solution was to cast the result of getActivity to ActionBarActivity.

Here is the working code:

((ActionBarActivity) getActivity()).startSupportActionMode(new ActionModeCallback());
