Why is this Error showing “Incompatible Types.” “Required: android.support.v4.app.Fragment”?

Question

So my issue is with my Android app Fragments fragment=new SlideShow(); is in a switch, this fuctions the NavDrawer and these people had the same issue but none of these Solutions fixed my problem Solution 1 and Solution 2 also Solution 3

You may see something in the code that I haven't. I will the Error as it shows!

I've tried adding imports and also switching implements and extends, nothing has worked and no one with the same issue as mien.

Error:

Error:(176, 26) error: incompatible types: SlideShow cannot be converted to Fragment

and

Incompatible Types. Required: android.support.v4.app.Fragment Found: com.adobe.SlideShow

Answer 1

Slideshow is an Activity not a Fragment. You'll either need to recreate it as a Fragment or use an intent to switch to it. You could do something like:

case 0:
   Intent intent = new Intent(this, Slideshow.class);
   startActivity(intent);
   return;
