get ListView in BroadcastReceiver error receiving broadcast intent

Question

I'm writing a downloadable listview items and i used download manager. for updating listview after finishing every download i need to update row so i used BroadcastReceiver,my code is just fine for listfragment page but it just not working for listactivity page. Bellow is my code that has error:

BroadcastReceiver alldownloadReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {

      @Override
      public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

       intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
       //check if the broadcast message is for our Enqueued download
       long referenceId = intent.getLongExtra(DownloadManager.EXTRA_DOWNLOAD_ID, -1);
       //final int position = intent.getIntExtra("position", -1);
       //Log.d("rrr", "dd");
       final AllproAdapter adapter = (AllproAdapter) getListView().getAdapter();

        //((AllproAdapter)((HeaderViewListAdapter)lv.getAdapter()).getWrappedAdapter()).notifyDataSetChanged();
        //adapter.setDownloadFinished(referenceId);

        // Ask the adapter to refresh the ListView
        //adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

      }
};//end of broadcast reciever

the error is in this line f code:

final AllproAdapter adapter = (AllproAdapter) getListView().getAdapter();

and this is logcat:

Answer 1

You've added a header view and/or a footer view to the ListView. Internally ListView will wrap the adapter it was given with another adapter, so that it can provide the header/footer views. When y9ou call getAdapter() , it returns you this wrapper, which you cannot cast to your custom type (AllproAdapter).

You can just keep a reference to your own adapter in your Activity/Fragment and use it directly.

// class member
private AllproAdapter adapter;
...
// initialization
adapter = ...
setListAdapter(adapter);
...
// inside broadcast receiver
long referenceId = intent.getLongExtra(DownloadManager.EXTRA_DOWNLOAD_ID, -1);
adapter.setDownloadFinished(referenceId);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
