FragmentPagerAdapter Exists Only In Android.Support.V4.App (and not Android.App)

Question

I cannot find find FragmentPagerAdapter within Android.App.

I do not want to use the Fragment's from Android.Support.V4.App, as my target API is 14 and higher (Android 4.0 and up). So, I want to just use plain of Android.App.Fragments, and there associated classes.

I only have found it within Android.Support.V4.App, but this doesn't suffice for me b/c I'm trying to use Android.App.Fragment's (not Android.Support.V4.App.Fragment's) and there related classes within Android.App (not Android.Support.V4.App), and my code wont compile if I derive my pager from FragmentPagerAdapter if its from the Support library, because of the resulting type mismatch's between Android.App and Android.Support.V4.App.

Just as with the case here Cannot be cast to android.app.Fragment, is there a "normal" pager (PagerAdapter) class I should be using in place of FragmentPagerAdapter or something (just like you derive from normal Activity, and not FragmentActivity, when targeting API 11 or higher).

Here is the sample code I'm working with (its the FragmentPagerSupport.cs file within the Support4.sln solution from the MonoDroid examples found at https://github.com/xamarin/monodroid-samples/tree/master/Support4).

I've commented out the lines that referenced Android.Support.V4.App and replaced them with code that references Android.App. There is no FramePagerAdapter outside of Android.Support.V4.App that I could find, and I really need it).

Thanks.

There is one that is in android.support.v13.app.FragmentPagerAdapter, which should do what you want it to do. It's a FragmentPagerAdapter for non-support fragments.

Android Studio Installation

Please add follow Gradle dependencies

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:+'
}
