getSupportActionBar using FragmentActivity

Question

I'm using fragment activity on one project, but it seems v4 support FragmentActivity doesn't has getSupportActionBar() method, and I need to use the support one in order to use android.support.v7.app.ActionBar

The ActionBarActivity does support the method you require, and is a subclass of FragmentActivity. See: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v7/app/ActionBarActivity.html

Can I use it for both: APIs below 11 AND above 11, or only for those below? – Christopher Francisco Oct 01 '13 at 14:58

`ActionBarActivity` is now deprecated, use `AppCompatActivity` – camelCaseCoder Oct 16 '15 at 04:33

Sameera getSupportActionBar() is the new way to get the ToolBar. In fact, ActionBar is now deprecated in Google Material Design.
