java.lang.ClassCastException: cast to created interface issue?

Question

I am trying to add the option to click on the images/videos in my Gridview within a fragment but it says I cannot cast my main activity to OnClickThumbListener interface that I created... I think it is because I am using fragment and not FragmentActivity.

Main:

public class MyPostsScreen extends Fragment implements
    LoaderManager.LoaderCallbacks<Cursor>, MediaStoreAdapter.OnClickThumbListener{

    private OnFragmentInteractionListener mListener;

    private final static int READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE_PERMMISSION_RESULT = 0;
    private final static int MEDIASTORE_LOADER_ID = 0;
    private RecyclerView mThumbnailRecyclerView;
    private MediaStoreAdapter mMediaStoreAdapter;

    public MyPostsScreen() {
        // Required empty public constructor
    }


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

    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_my_posts_screen, container, false);

        mThumbnailRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) v.findViewById(R.id.thumbnailRv);
        GridLayoutManager gridLayoutManager = new GridLayoutManager(this.getContext(), 3);
        mThumbnailRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(gridLayoutManager);
        mMediaStoreAdapter = new MediaStoreAdapter(this.getActivity());
        mThumbnailRecyclerView.setAdapter(mMediaStoreAdapter);

        checkReadExternalStoragePermission();

        // Inflate the layout for this fragment
        return v;
    }
}

MediaStoreAdapter:

public class MediaStoreAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MediaStoreAdapter.ViewHolder> {
    private Cursor mMediaStoreCursor;
    private final Activity mActivity;
    private OnClickThumbListener mOnClickThumbListener;

    public interface OnClickThumbListener {
        void OnClickImage(Uri imageUri);
        void OnClickVideo(Uri videoUri);
    }
    public MediaStoreAdapter(Activity activity) {
        this.mActivity = activity;
        //TODO: Figure out why this fails Java Class Exception, and FIX.
        this.mOnClickThumbListener = (OnClickThumbListener)activity;
    }
}

ERROR:

the interface is implemented by the fragment and not the activity. — Rajesh Gosemath

Change it to

private final Context mActivity;
....
....

public MediaStoreAdapter(Context context, OnClickThumbListener onClickThumbListener) {
    this.mActivity = context;
    this.mOnClickThumbListener = onClickThumbListener;

}

And in your MyPostsScreen fragment, call the adapter constructor like following,

mMediaStoreAdapter = new MediaStoreAdapter(this.getActivity(), this);
mThumbnailRecyclerView.setAdapter(mMediaStoreAdapter);

This is because your interface is implemented by the fragment, not the MainActivity.

Didn't work...The solution seems logical, but still produces the same errors. Tried changing the following as well: mMediaStoreAdapter = new MediaStoreAdapter(this.getActivity()); to mMediaStoreAdapter = new MediaStoreAdapter(this.getContext()); In the MyPostsScreen Class.

@fadysi92 See if the updated answer resolve your issue.

YES! this worked, thank you so much! Quick question though, how come we still use this.getActivity() and not this.getContext() in the MediaStoreAdapter?

Good question! Here is a good explanation on this stackoverflow.com/a/32227421/2709580. For your scenario, it should be fine no matter which method you opt for.
