Getting error in FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction fragmentManager.beginTransaction();

Find below code:

package com.example.i7.fragments;

import android.content.res.Configuration; import android.support.v4.app.Fragment; import android.app.FragmentManager; import android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction; import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity; import android.os.Bundle;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    Configuration config = getResources().getConfiguration();

    FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
    FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction =
    fragmentManager.beginTransaction();

    if (config.orientation== Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE){
        LM_Fragement lm_fragement= new LM_Fragement();
        fragmentTransaction.replace(android.R.id,lm_fragement);
    }
    else{
        PM_Fragment pm_fragment = new PM_Fragment();
        fragmentTransaction.replace(android.R.id, pm_fragment);

    }

    fragmentTransaction.commit();


}

}

I don't know Android, but I took a look. I've seen a couple similar errors related to mixing libraries resulting from faulty import statements. The android.app.FragmentManager beginTransaction method returns a android.app.FragmentTransaction, which doesn't seem to be able to be be accepted as a android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction (which is what your import statement indicated is the full type of FragmentTransaction). (sorry i couldn't be more help. i don't know how these libraries are meant to relate to each other )

Since you are using the Support Library version of Fragment you need to use getSupportFragmentManager() instead of getFragmentManager().
