10,020 PointsStatic context?
I'm getting an error saying that .setText is trying to reference .getPageTitle from a static context. Can someone please explain this to me?

mActionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);

for (int i = 0; i < pagerAdapter.getCount(); i++) {
ActionBar.Tab tab = mActionBar.newTab();
tab.setTabListener(this);

tab.setText(PagerAdapter.getPageTitle(i));
mActionBar.addTab(tab);
}

40,533 Points"getPageTitle" isn't a static method, so it needs to be called with an instance of a class, rather than the class itself. Use the instance "pagerAdapter" instead of the class name, "PagerAdapter".
