Is setRetainInstance is supported with FragmentActivity

I want to retain the instance of an object on configuration changes using Fragments. And I want to support older versions of android using support library. So I extended FragmentActivity like this.

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;

public class test extends FragmentActivity {
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle state){
        super.onCreate(state);  
        setRetainInstance(true);
    }
}

But when I do this, Eclips complains that there is no such a thing as setRetainInstance. But when I change the FragmentActivity to Fragment every thing is OK. what am I missing?

setRetainInstance(Boolean) is a method in Fragment class. not of FragmentActivity class...

and There is a support library for Fragments in Android SDK.

see at android-sdk/extras/android/support/v4/android-support-v4.jar
