44,638 PointsThis Is The Droid You Are Looking For con't: You can't get the Action Bar to show in EditFriendsActivity
So, once again, we've hit a problem with deprecated code and differences between Eclipse and Android Studio. The EditFriendsActivity overlays the ActionBar, and now you can't see it. If you want to fix this, what we have to do is split this activity into a Activity and a fragment inside an activity, like we did with MainActivity, displaying InboxFragment and FriendsFragment inside of it. This answer is a continuation of the "This Is The Droid You Are Looking For" from the Modifying Tabs From The Template video from the previous badge. It uses all non-deprecated code and looks a little different, so I strongly suggest you look over my answer there before attempting this:
Because the problems are getting a little big, I'm going to give you the link to the GitHub page that has the current version of this code relating to this specific class progress in the answer, so go there for the source.
