I have used toolbar for as my title bar for all the activity. Now one of my class need to use getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true); and here comes the error .The question is how to replace getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true); to other option. I have tried getSupportActionBar()but it gives an error. This is the logcat error:
/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main

This is part of my code, I have shorten my code:

return 0;
}

// Creates a ViewHolder and store references to the two children

holder = new ViewHolder();
holder.text = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.text);
holder.icon = (ImageView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.icon);

} else {

}
// Bind the data efficiently with the holder.
