title: The method getSupportFragmentManager() is undefined for the type Context
body: <p>The error <strong>The method getSupportFragmentManager() is undefined for the type Context</strong> occur when i used  getSupportFragmentManager() inside my oncreateview. </p>
  
  <p>Different context type reference was used to overcome this error but none of these works:</p>
  
  <p>e.g. globalContext = container.getContext(); globalContext  = getActivity().getApplicationContext(); </p>
  
  <p>getSupportFragmentManager() can be set only in FragmentActivity. My question is if there is a way to reference getSupportFragmentManager(). </p>
  
  <p>My fragment.</p>
  
  <pre><code>    public class HomeFragment extends Fragment implements
      ActionBar.TabListener {
  
          public HomeFragment(){}
  
          Context globalContext;
  
      @Override
          public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                  Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  
              rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_home, container, false);
              globalContext = this.getActivity();
  
              actionBar = getActivity().getActionBar();
  
              android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager fm = globalContext.getSupportFragmentManager(); // getting error The method getSupportFragmentManager() is undefined for the type Context }}
  
              mAdapter = new TabsPagerAdapter(fm);
  
  
      }
  
  
      }
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the tabhostlistner adapter.</p>
  
  <pre><code>import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
