Answer 1

Your activity must extend ActionBarActivity instead of FragmentActivity (note that ActionBarActivity extends FragmentActivity - it just adds support for the action bar via getSupportActionBar()).

Answer 2

I tried this code it is working fine

((ActionBarActivity) getActivity()).getSupportActionBar().setTitle(rivers[position]);
