Question

import android.app.ActionBar;
import android.app.FragmentTransaction;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;

import com.rayz.digitalpostbox.R;
import com.rayz.digitalpostbox.activities.HomeActivity;
import com.rayz.digitalpostbox.adapters.TabsPagerAdapter;


public class AccountAndCardTabFragment extends Fragment implements ActionBar.TabListener {
    private ViewPager viewPager;
    private TabsPagerAdapter mAdapter;
    private ActionBar actionBar;
    private String[] tabs = {"Accounts", "Cards"};

    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.account_and_cards_tab_layout, container, false);
        ((HomeActivity) getActivity()).setTitle("My Wallet");
        ((HomeActivity) getActivity()).refferToolbar();
        ((HomeActivity) getActivity()).toolbarFunction();

        viewPager = (ViewPager) rootView.findViewById(R.id.pager);
        actionBar = getActivity().getActionBar();
        mAdapter = new TabsPagerAdapter(getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager());
        viewPager.setAdapter(mAdapter);
        actionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(false);
        actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);

        for (String tab_name : tabs) {
            actionBar.addTab(actionBar.newTab().setText(tab_name)
                    .setTabListener(this));
        }

        viewPager.setOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener() {

            @Override
            public void onPageSelected(int position) {
                actionBar.setSelectedNavigationItem(position);
            }

            @Override
            public void onPageScrolled(int arg0, float arg1, int arg2) {
            }

            @Override
            public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int arg0) {
            }
        });
        return rootView;
    }

    @Override
    public void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        ((HomeActivity) getActivity()).setTitle("Dashboard");
    }

    @Override
    public void onTabReselected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
    }

    @Override
    public void onTabSelected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
        viewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());
    }

    @Override
    public void onTabUnselected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
    }
}

Layout file is as :

<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/pager"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"

Answer 1

If you are using ActionBarActivity then try below code

actionBar = ((ActionBarActivity)getActivity()).getSupportActionBar();

and if AppCompatActivity then

ActionBar actionBar = ((AppCompatActivity)getActivity()).getSupportActionBar();
