Getting ClassCastException when using custom ArrayAdapter

Question

I'm trying to use a custom ArrayAdapter with a PageAdapter and ListFragments . I'm having an issue with the getView method crashing with ClassCastException and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Here is the code for the MainListFragment , everything up to this point is working. I should also point out this is a static inner class:

public static class MainListFragment extends ListFragment {
        /**
         * The fragment argument representing the section number for this
         * fragment.
         */

        int fragNum;
        public static final String ARG_SECTION_NUMBER = "section_number";

        private static MainListFragment init(int val) {
            MainListFragment mfl = new MainListFragment();

            Bundle args = new Bundle();
            args.putInt("val", val);
            mfl.setArguments(args);

            return mfl;
        }

        public MainListFragment() {
        }

        /**
         * Retrieving this instance's number from its arguments.
         */
        @Override
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            fragNum = getArguments() != null ? getArguments().getInt("val") : 1;
        }

        @Override
        public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            int page = getArguments().getInt(ARG_SECTION_NUMBER);
            View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.setting_fragment,
                    container, false);

            return rootView;
        }

        @Override
        public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);

            String arr[] = { "This is", "a ", "Demo", "App", "For", "Showing",
                    "FragmentPagerAdapter", "and ViewPager", "Implementation" };

            SettingListAdapter settingAdapter = new SettingListAdapter(
                    getActivity().getApplicationContext(),
                    R.layout.setting_item_row, arr);
            ListView listView = (ListView) getActivity().findViewById(android.R.id.list);
            listView.setAdapter(settingAdapter);
        }
    }

Here is the code for my custom ArrayAdapter :

public class SettingListAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> {

    Context context;
    int layoutResourceId;
    String[] arr; 

    public SettingListAdapter(Context context, int layoutResourceId,
            String[] arr) {
        super(context, layoutResourceId, arr);
        this.layoutResourceId = layoutResourceId; 
        this.context = context;
        this.arr = arr; 
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        View row = convertView;
        ProfileHolder holder; 

        if(row == null){
                    //this is line 35 from the error
            LayoutInflater inflater = ((Activity)context).getLayoutInflater();
            row = inflater.inflate(layoutResourceId, parent, false);

            holder = new ProfileHolder(); 
            holder.title = (TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.txtTitle);

            row.setTag(holder); 
        }
        else{
            holder = (ProfileHolder)row.getTag(); 
        }

        String profile = arr[position];
        holder.title.setText(profile); 
        return row; 
    }


    static class ProfileHolder{
        TextView title; 
    }
}

Here is the stacktrace that I'm getting:

I have added a comment to where line 35 is in the ArrayAdapter class.

Any help would be great.

Answer 1

You're passing application context to SettingListAdapter's constructor. Then you casting that context to activity ( (Activity)context ) and it obviosly fails. Pass activity context to adapter. Change getActivity().getApplicationContext() to getActivity() .
