Can't resolve getActionBarActivity() method

I am trying to hide the ActionBar in my Activity. I have an Activity with a Fragment, which looks like this: 

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.ActionBar;
import android.app.Fragment;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.os.Build;


public class IntroActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.intro_activity);
        if (savedInstanceState == null) {
            getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
                    .add(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment())
                    .commit();

            ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();<---- Error here
            actionBar.hide();
        }
    }


    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_intro, menu);

        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        int id = item.getItemId();

        //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            return true;
        }

        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }

    /**
     * A placeholder fragment containing a simple view.
     */
    public static class PlaceholderFragment extends Fragment {

        public PlaceholderFragment() {
        }

        @Override
        public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                                 Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.intro_page_1, container, false);
            return rootView;
        }
    }
}

The error I get is Cannot resolve method getActionBarActivity method. I have tried extending ActionBarActivity, but when I do, I get onCreate errors, and several others.

How can I hide the action bar?

It does not look like you are using the support library? If that is the case you should call getActionBar() not getSupportActionBar()

use this code

ActionBar bar = getActionBar();
bar.hide();

This will solve your problem

From your imports, it looks like you're not using support library. So you should use getActionBar() instead of getSupportActionBar().
