Inconsistency errors between android.support.v4.app and android.app

Question

I'm trying to create an activity that shows some fragments. I'm following this example here: http://developer.android.com/training/animation/screen-slide.html, however there seems to be some missing code / inconsistencies. I've narrowed down many of the problems but I'm stuck on one part, though it seems it would be simple to someone that knows how this works.

private class ScreenSlidePagerAdapter extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {
public ScreenSlidePagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
    super(fm); // error on fm
}

error underlines fm on super(fm);: "FragmentStatePagerAdapter (android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager) in FragmentStatePagerAdapter cannot be applied to (android.app.FragmentManager)"

---

@Override
public Fragment getItem(int position) { // error on Fragment
    return ScreenSlidePageFragment.create(position);
}

error underlines Fragment on public Fragment getItem(int position) {: 'getItem(int)' in 'com.example.Application.ScreenSlideActivity.ScreenSlidePagerAdapter' clashes with 'getItem(int)' in 'android.support.v4.app.FragmentStatePagerAdapter'; attempting to use incompatible return type

Answer 1

You must import Fragment and FragmentManager class from support library please change your first two lines of import like below in your ScreenSlideActivity class

import  android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment
