BaseFragmentActivityApi16.startActivityForResult(intent, int, Bundle) throwing error when targeting Android O

Question

I started targeting android O in my project I get an error when calling startActivityForResult(intent, int, Bundle) with the error saying it can only be called from group id com.android.support.

Gradle:

compile 'com.android.support:design:26.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:26.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:26.0.0'

Answer 1

It's a bit late but I've found a workaround. I tried ActivityCompat.startActivityForResult(Activity, intent, int, Bundle); and the warning is gone!

Answer 2

Edit:

As per this link, this is a bug. For a workaround, Add this comment above the line of code which gives the warning:

//noinspection RestrictedApi

Old Ans:

I hope you are not importing wrong library. Fragment support library supports fragment for devices running versions prior to Android3.0.

As per this post in SO

Also remember to use Activity if you are using android.app.Fragment; use FragmentActivity if you are using android.support.v4.app.Fragment. Never attach a android.support.v4.app.Fragment to an android.app.Activity, as this will cause an exception to be thrown.

android.app.Fragment is different than android.support.v4.app.Fragment.

The support library one is annotated @RestrictTo(LIBRARY_GROUP), and also @hide - it's not meant to be a public API.
