Cannot resolve method 'getSupportFragmentManager ( )' inside Fragment

Question

I found the message Cannot resolve method 'getSupportFragmentManager ( )' I want to fragment as activity. because I want to use Maps on the tabs swipe.

public class PETAcikarangsukatani extends Fragment {
Context context;

private static final LatLng SUKATANI = new LatLng(-6.171327, 107.178108);
private static final LatLng WRPOJOK = new LatLng(-6.222411, 107.162158);
private static final LatLng PILAR = new LatLng(-6.257033, 107.156472);
private static final LatLng CIKARANG = new LatLng(-6.256073, 107.143984);


GoogleMap googleMap;
final String TAG = "PathGoogleMapActivity";

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_path_google_map, container, false);
    context = rootView.getContext();

    SupportMapFragment fm = (SupportMapFragment)getSupportFragmentManager()
            .findFragmentById(R.id.map);
    googleMap = fm.getMap();

Solution 1

Inside a Fragment subclass you have to use getFragmentManager in place of getSupportFragmentManager. You will get the support one if the import are from the support library.

Solution 2

For my case, I made sure that Fragment class is imported from

android.support.v4.app.Fragment

Not from

android.app.Fragment

Then I have used

getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager();

And now its working. If I use activity instance which I got in onAttach() is not working also.

Solution 3

Extends FragmentActivity instead of Activity

Solution 4

Use getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager()

Solution 5

Replace getSupportFragmentManager() with getFragmentManager() if you are working in api 21. OR If your app supports versions of Android older than 3.0, be sure you've set up your Android project with the support library as described in Setting Up a Project to Use a Library and use getSupportFragmentManager() this time.
