What to use instead of getSupportActionBar() in Library 22?

Question

There is a line in my code, that marked as yellow:

getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);

After installing appcompat-v7

Answer 1

If you're extending a Theme.AppCompat which has an action bar or have called setSupportActionBar(...) yourself, calling getSupportActionBar() is safe.

To get around the warning do a null check or

assert getSupportActionBar() != null;

which will throw an exception if the expression is not true. Both have their uses.
