CastException: after Updating Fragment from ViewPager

I'm updating my Fragment number 2 using:

@Override
public int getItemPosition(Object object) {
    FragmentPage2 f = (FragmentPage2) object;
    if (f != null) {
        f.update();
    }
    return super.getItemPosition(object);
}

Now, when I add and additional and different Fragment in getItem(int position), everything seems to be working fine. However, when I run mPager.getAdapter().notifyDataSetChanged(); it throws me:

08-07 19:45:50.844: E/AndroidRuntime(17776): java.lang.ClassCastException: com.foodbuilder.FragmentPage1 cannot be cast to com.foodbuilder.FragmentPage2

@Override
public int getItemPosition(Object object) {
    if(object != null && object instanceof FragmentPage2){
        FragmentPage2 f = (FragmentPage2) object;
        f.update();        
    }
    return super.getItemPosition(object);
}

Similarly you can get object class and check if it is assignable from FragmentPage2.class:

if(object.getClass().isAssignalbeFrom(FragmentPage2.class))

This happens because you have different classes that inherit Fragment and getItemPosition() does not care about the type of the object, but the casting you do does care about the type of the object.

Hope it helps.
