Courses Plus Student 324 PointsAction Bar not show for Android Studio 1.0
Am using Android Studio 1.0 for this project and the action bar is not show up for Edit Friends and Choose Recipient. Upon researching I learnt you have to extends ActionBarActivity for action bar to appear. Now my question is I have extends ActionBarActivity in the RecipientsActivity class and getting red colour error with the below:
- getListView()
- setListAdapter(adapter);
- .onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
Your help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

20,054 PointsI ran into the same problem, you cannot extend from ActionBarView and ListView at the same time. My solution was to declare the ListView as a member Variable:
protected ListView mListview;
in onCreate:
mListview = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.receipientsListView);
mListview.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE);
With that in place you can replace "getListView()" with "mListview"
The id of your ListView has to bet set too (in the layout file)
<ListView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="@+id/receipientsListView"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"/>

and
onListItemClick(ListView,View,int,long) to mListview.onListItemClick(ListView,View,int,long)
