Apps Crossed out onAttach(activity) = deprecated ?

[ac4android]

Hi, I was creating an interface (listener) between a fragment and an activity, using the onAttach() method

AS crossed out the method name and wen I hover over it with the pointer, it says "deprecated".

Can I still use the onAttach() method?

I am too new to Java

Unfortunately as the Android SDK evolves, things get changed. A deprecated method means that you can still use it, but warning that it may be removed from future versions of the interface, so at some point your code will break. It is a pain, but you have to either change your code, or find a way to support both versions. Here's a possible solution:

This worked for me when i have userdefind interface 'TopSectionFragment' and its object activitycommander:

//This method gets called whenever we attach fragment to the activity
@override
public void onAttach(Context context) {
super.onAttach(context);
Activity a=getActivity();
try {
if(context instanceof Activity)
this.activitycommander=(TopSectionListener)a;
}catch (ClassCastException e){
throw new ClassCastException(a.toString());}

}
