Android TabActivity with Toolbar - setSupportActionBar() unknow

Question

Is it possible to use setSupportActionBar() in an TabActivity? Extending with AppCompatActivity is not possible...

public class TabHost extends TabActivity {

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.tabhost);


        Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar); // this is unkown
        getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true); //also

Do I have to switch from TabActivity to FragmentTabHost? Thanks

no you can't. You have to extend AppCompatActivity, and you shouldn't use TabActivity in the first place. It was deprecated long time ago. You should use a solution based on a ViewPager and Fragments to achieve the same behavior
