ActionBarCompat in FragmentActivty

I am getting error "The method getSupportActionBar() is undefined for the type MainActivity"

import android.app.FragmentTransaction;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBar;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBar.Tab;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentPagerAdapter;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity implements ActionBar.TabListener {

AppSectionsPagerAdapter mAppSectionsPagerAdapter;

ViewPager mViewPager;

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);


    mAppSectionsPagerAdapter = new AppSectionsPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());


    final ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();


    //actionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(false);


    actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);


    mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
    mViewPager.setAdapter(mAppSectionsPagerAdapter);
    mViewPager.setOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.SimpleOnPageChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onPageSelected(int position) {

            actionBar.setSelectedNavigationItem(position);
        }
    });

    for (int i = 0; i < mAppSectionsPagerAdapter.getCount(); i++) {
        actionBar.addTab(
                actionBar.newTab()
                        .setText(mAppSectionsPagerAdapter.getPageTitle(i))
                        .setTabListener(this));
    }
}
.
.
.
}

Please help me out. Does setHomeButtonEnabled() support?

Which is better ActionBarCompat or ActionBarSherlock?

When application is using getSupportActionBar() your activity must extend from ActionBarActivity. It is defined in the Support Package which you have already added as I can see in your imports.

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity
                          implements ActionBar.TabListener {
    // your code goes here
}

Your class needs to extends ActionBarActivity. Because of ActionBarActivity extends from FragmentActivity, you can use Fragments.
