Are you sure you are calling this from Fragment? Fragment does not have method `getActionBar();` [Read this.](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12013849/cant-get-action-bar-in-fragment-class) — Marius, Jun 18 '14 at 06:02

Are you using `appcompat` library? – Gunaseelan Jun 18 '14 at 06:14
May I know where you are calling this, in `MainActivity` or `NavigationDrawerFragment`? – Gunaseelan Jun 18 '14 at 06:17
Okay, If you use `getSupportActionBar` means what error you are getting? – Gunaseelan Jun 18 '14 at 06:20
error is: The method getSupportActionBar() is undefined for the type new ActionBarDrawerToggle(){} – prabhu Jun 18 '14 at 06:23

Fragment does not have method getActionBar(). A fragment is usually used as part of an activity's user interface and contributes its own layout to the activity. To provide a layout for a fragment, you must implement the onCreateView() callback method, which the Android system calls when it's time for the fragment to draw its layout. So, fragment requires its activity in which it is present.

So, try getActivity().getActionBar();
