Can't get Action Bar in fragment class

@Robert Estivil If you are using AppCompatActivity then use this:

actionBar = ((AppCompatActivity)getActivity()).getSupportActionBar();

A static class cannot see private fields of another class. You will need to use getActivity().getActionBar() to retrieve it.

Though i am late in answering here. I found arul's answer perfect, but now ActionbarActivity is deprecated so slight modification to that answer will finish the job:

ActionBar actionBar = ((AppCompatActivity)getActivity()).getSupportActionBar();
