GetSherlockActivity not found

Question

I am trying to use this code for sending a message through whatsapp. The problem I have is, that "The method getSherlockActivity() is undefined for the type Send". Should I rename my Send or do I need to import something? The only suggestion eclipse makes, is creating it.

import com.actionbarsherlock.app.SherlockActivity;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.provider.ContactsContract;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class Send extends SherlockActivity{

    public void sendWhatsAppMessageTo(String whatsappid) {

        Cursor c = getSherlockActivity().getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI,
                new String[] { ContactsContract.Contacts.Data._ID }, ContactsContract.Data.DATA1 + "=?",
                new String[] { whatsappid }, null);
        c.moveToFirst();

        Intent whatsapp = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("content://com.android.contacts/data/" + c.getString(0)));
        c.close();

         if (whatsapp != null) {

        startActivity(whatsapp);      

        } else {
                Toast.makeText(this, "WhatsApp not Installed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                        .show();
        //download for example after dialog
                        Uri uri = Uri.parse("market://details?id=com.whatsapp");
                        Intent goToMarket = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
            }

        }

}

EDIT: Logcat output after removing the getSherlockActivity() is:
