cannot find symbol method getSupportActionBar()

I know this question has been posted plenty of times, but I still unable to solve even i have tried many solution from Stack Overflow.

import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBar;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import com.example.project.myapplication.API.InfoAPI;
import com.example.project.myapplication.Adapter.TabsFragmentPagerAdapter;


public class Edit extends FragmentActivity implements ActionBar.TabListener {

    private ViewPager viewPager;
    private ActionBar actionBar;
    private TabsFragmentPagerAdapter tabsAdapter;
    private String[] activities = new String[]{"Information","Work Force","Work Details"};
    ListView listViewEdit;
    InfoAPI sqlcon;
    private MyDatabaseHelper dbHelper;
    private SQLiteDatabase database;
    private SimpleCursorAdapter dataAdapter;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.edit);
        viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.viewPager);
        tabsAdapter = new TabsFragmentPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
        viewPager.setAdapter(tabsAdapter);
        actionBar = (ActionBarActivity)getApplicationContext().getSupportActionBar();
        actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
        for(int i=0; i<3; i++){
            actionBar.addTab(actionBar.newTab().setText(activities[i]).setTabListener(this));
        }

Error is on this line actionBar = (ActionBarActivity)getApplicationContext().getSupportActionBar();

Error

Error:(48, 63) error: cannot find symbol method getSupportActionBar()
Error:(48, 21) error: incompatible types: ActionBarActivity cannot be converted to ActionBar

Replace 

public class Edit extends FragmentActivity implements ActionBar.TabListener

with

public class Edit extends ActionBarActivity implements ActionBar.TabListener

and you line

actionBar = (ActionBar)getApplicationContext().getSupportActionBar();

Let Edit extend AppCompatActivity instead FragmentActivity. AppCompatActivity extends FragmentActivity and adds support for the ActionBar. You can read more here

you need to change FragmentActivity to ActionBarActivity because this method is not provide in FragmentActivity so change.

public class mainActivity extends ActionBarActivity
