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

Question

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:+'
}

Ugh, you just need to use the FragmentPagerAdapter from the V13 support library

Android.Support.V13.App.FragmentPagerAdapter

Then all other Fragment related classes can be used from the "normal" libraries/namespaces, with the exception of ViewPager, but that's no big deal.

Here's a sample for completeness (modified "Support4" example from https://github.com/xamarin/monodroid-samples/):

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

using Android.App;
using Android.Content;
using Android.OS;
using Android.Runtime;
using Android.Util;
using Android.Views;
using Android.Widget;

using Java.Lang;

using Android.Support.V4.View;
using Fragment = Android.App.Fragment;

namespace Support4
{
    [Activity (Label = "@string/fragment_pager_support")]
    [IntentFilter (new[]{Intent.ActionMain}, Categories = new[]{ "mono.support4demo.sample" })]
    public class FragmentPagerSupport : Activity
    //public class FragmentPagerSupport : FragmentActivity
    {
        const int NUM_ITEMS = 4;

        protected MyAdapter _pagerAdapter;
        protected ViewPager _viewPager;

        protected override void OnCreate (Bundle bundle)
        {
            base.OnCreate (bundle);

            SetContentView(Resource.Layout.fragment_pager);

            List<Fragment> fragments = new List<Fragment>();

            // *** MonoDroid 4.2.7 letter case bug *** make's first letter lower.

            //string typeName = typeof(Fragment1).FullName;
            string typeName = "support4." + typeof(Fragment1).Name;

            fragments.Add(Fragment.Instantiate(this, typeName));
            fragments.Add(Fragment.Instantiate(this, typeName));
            fragments.Add(Fragment.Instantiate(this, typeName));
            fragments.Add(Fragment.Instantiate(this, typeName));

            //adapter = new MyAdapter(SupportFragmentManager);
            _pagerAdapter = new MyAdapter(FragmentManager, fragments);

            _viewPager = FindViewById<ViewPager>(Resource.Id.view_pager);
            _viewPager.Adapter = _pagerAdapter;
        }

        public override bool OnTouchEvent(MotionEvent e)
        {
            return base.OnTouchEvent(e);
        }

        protected class MyAdapter : Android.Support.V13.App.FragmentPagerAdapter
        {
            private List<Fragment> _fragments;

            public override Java.Lang.Object  InstantiateItem(View p0, int p1)
            {
                return base.InstantiateItem(p0, p1);
            }

            public MyAdapter(Android.App.FragmentManager fm)
                : base(fm)
            {

            }

            //public MyAdapter(Android.Support.V4.App.FragmentManager fm, List<Android.Support.V4.App.Fragment> fragments)
            //    : base(fm)
            public MyAdapter(FragmentManager fm, List<Fragment> fragments)
                : base(fm)
            {
                _fragments = fragments;
            }

            public override int Count {
                get {
                    return NUM_ITEMS;
                }
            }

            //public override Android.Support.V4.App.Fragment GetItem(int p0)
            public override Fragment GetItem(int p0)
            {
                return _fragments[p0];
            }

            public override float GetPageWidth(int p0)
            {
                //return base.GetPageWidth(p0);
                //base.GetPageWidth(p0);

                return (float)(0.5f);
            }
        }
    }

    //public class Fragment1 : Android.Support.V4.App.Fragment
    public class Fragment1 : Fragment
    {
        int num;

        private static int _colorIndex = 0;
        private static Android.Graphics.Color[] _colors = new[] { Android.Graphics.Color.Aqua, Android.Graphics.Color.DarkViolet,
        Android.Graphics.Color.Coral, Android.Graphics.Color.Bisque};

        public Fragment1()
        {
        }

        public Fragment1(int num)
        {
            var args = new Bundle();
            args.PutInt("num", num);
            Arguments = args;
        }

        public override void OnCreate(Bundle p0)
        {
            base.OnCreate(p0);

            num = Arguments != null ? Arguments.GetInt("num") : 1;
        }

        public override View OnCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
        {
            View v = inflater.Inflate(Resource.Layout.aaaaa, container, false);

            TextView tv = v.FindViewById<TextView>(Resource.Id.text);
            tv.Text = "# " + _colorIndex;
            tv.SetBackgroundColor(_colors[_colorIndex++]);

            return v;
        }

        public override void OnActivityCreated(Bundle p0)
        {
            base.OnActivityCreated(p0);
        }
    }
}

Add this dependecy to the gradle dependencies:

compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:+'

And use android.support.v13.app.FragmentPagerAdapter like this (I simply modified the official demo project in android studio: file → new → new project → next → next → tabbed activity → next → finish):

import android.app.Fragment;
import android.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v13.app.FragmentPagerAdapter;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment;

/** A simple FragmentPagerAdapter that returns a MapFragment and a PreferenceFragment. */
public class MainActivityAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {

    private MapFragment mapFragment;
    private PreferencesFragment preferencesFragment;

    public MainActivityAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
        super(fm);
        mapFragment = MapFragment.newInstance();
        preferencesFragment = new PreferencesFragment();
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return 2;
    }

    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int position) {
        switch (position) {
            case 0:
                return mapFragment;
            case 1:
                return preferencesFragment;
            default:
                return null;
        }
    }
}
