I created a very simple fragment to test my app and I got the following error message: 

03-31 16:04:39.834: E/AndroidRuntime(7860): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.team3.domore/com.team3.domore.TabActivity}: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.team3.domore.SomeFrag cannot be cast to android.support.v4.app.Fragment

My fragment is really simple...

import android.app.Fragment;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;

public class SomeFrag extends Fragment {
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.alarm_frag, container, false);
    }

    @Override
    public void onStart() {
        super.onStart();
    }
}

Please help...I've been struggling with this for almost two hours..

EDIT: I'm pretty sure where I called this fragment (an activity that extends FragmentActivity) is working... just this fragment part is not working...

Your SomeFrag extends 

android.app.Fragment

as stated in the imports. Change the import to 

android.support.v4.app.Fragment

and the cast will succeed.
