Question

How to slove this? ActionMode not supported in Fragment?

Thanks

Answer 1

You are trying to invoke an instance method of an Activity from a static Fragment (i.e. one that is separate from the instance of the Activity). Remembrer that you can always access the activity that contains your fragment using getActivity(). So:

  if (getActivity() != null) {
    mMode = getActivity().startActionMode(new AnActionModeOfEpicProportions());
  }

A cleaner approach would be to declare an interface class to manage the communication between fragments and activities.
