java.lang.ClassCastException:fragment cannot be cast to android.support.v4.app.Fragment

Question

I am trying to implement Tab Navigation, I have a Container Activity that extends Fragment Activity, and this Activity creates a TabView using an ActionBar. The app will try to create three tabs and add them to the ActionBar, and I want to change the fragment depending on the TabSelection..But occured an error 07-04 12:17:33.534: E/AndroidRuntime(795): Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.freight.fragments.TruckStatus cannot be cast to android.support.v4.app.Fragment.

Changing the import from android.app.Fragment to android.support.v4.app.Fragment helped me solve this. Thanks!

import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;

Before you do this Right click project->properties->buildpath->java build path -> libraries .. then click on add external jars

the go to

user\android-sdks\extras\android\support\v4

and select android-support-v4.jar

How @lakvin said you can change: 1) android.app.Fragment => support.v4.app.Fragment I changed even 2) android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction; 3) implements android.app.ActionBar.TabListener

However make sure that your Theme can handle the ActionBar: 1) styles.xml and I changed mine into android:Theme.Material.Light or even you can use Theme.Holo….
