ClassCastException: XAdapter cannot be cast to android.widget.BaseAdapter - FastScroller

I created my own adapter - implementing ListAdapter. I checked fastScrollEnabled in the XML: android:fastScrollEnabled="true".

But, when the list/grid was being painted, I got a ClassCastException:

Solution

  • Well, it seems that Android's built in code assumes that you're using BaseAdapter if you want fast-scroll to be enabled.

    Couldn't find info on the subject so thought of posting this info on SO.

    The solution was to extends BaseAdapter. I didn't want to do this as I have my own listen/refresh mechanism but I couldn't find a different solution without rocking the ship too much.

    Looking further into FastScroller, I don't understand why it is so much based on BaseAdapter and not ListAdapter or just Adapter.
