Android - ClassCastException - BluetoothManager cannot be cast to android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter Error

I'm having an issue right now with some BluetoothAdapter code I wrote. I'm trying to determine what exactly is causing this issue:

04-27 08:27:35.749    7802-7802/com.engineering.yellow E/AndroidRuntime﹕ FATAL EXCEPTION: main
Process: com.engineering.yellow, PID: 7802

        at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method)

Here is the code I'm currently using:

@Override
public void isConnected() {
    Log.d(Constants.TAG, "Connected device");
    mNumDevicesConnected++;
    if (mNumDevicesConnected == mNumDevicesSelected) {
        if (mProgressDialog != null) {
            mProgressDialog.dismiss();
        }
        mBluetoothManager.startReading(getActivity());
        getActivity().setResult(Activity.RESULT_OK);
        getActivity().finish();
    }
}

@Override
public void isNotConnected() {
   BluetoothAdapter blutoothAdapter;

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR2) {
        appcontext = getActivity().getApplicationContext();
        Log.i("SetDevicesFragment", "Context Val:" + appcontext);
        appcontext = getActivity().getApplicationContext();
        blutoothAdapter = (BluetoothAdapter) appcontext.getSystemService(Context.BLUETOOTH_SERVICE);
    } else {
        blutoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
    }

    Log.i("SetDevicesFragment", "SetDevicesFragment-BluetoothConnection-MACAddress: " + blutoothAdapter.getAddress());

    if (mProgressDialog != null) {
        mProgressDialog.dismiss();
    }

    //We check to make sure we still have activity access, in case the user attempted to go back
    //before we show the dialog.
    if (getActivity() != null) {
        AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(new ContextThemeWrapper(getActivity(), android.R.style.Theme_Holo_Dialog));
        builder.setTitle(R.string.device_connection_error_title).setMessage(R.string.device_connection_error_message)
                .setPositiveButton(R.string.auto_shutdown_dialog_session_ended_positive_button, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                        dialog.dismiss();
                    }
                });
        AlertDialog alertDialog = builder.create();
        breakExistingConnections();
        alertDialog.show();
    }
}

This is the line of code that is causing this ClassCastException: 

blutoothAdapter = (BluetoothAdapter) appcontext.getSystemService(Context.BLUETOOTH_SERVICE);

What could be causing this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

final BluetoothManager bluetoothManager = (BluetoothManager) getSystemService(Context.BLUETOOTH_SERVICE);

mbluetoothAdpt = bluetoothManager.getAdapter();

appcontext.getSystemService(Context.BLUETOOTH_SERVICE) returns an object of type BluetoothManager. You're trying to declare, or cast, this object as a BluetoothAdapter instead, which (in this case) isn't possible and hence the error. Luckily though, you can get the the adapter from the manager.

To fix, simply change this:

blutoothAdapter = (BluetoothAdapter) appcontext.getSystemService(Context.BLUETOOTH_SERVICE);

to this: 

blutoothAdapter = ((BluetoothManager) appcontext.getSystemService(Context.BLUETOOTH_SERVICE)).getAdapter();

I'll cite the official documentation here:

To get a BluetoothAdapter representing the local Bluetooth adapter, when running on JELLY_BEAN_MR1 and below, call the static getDefaultAdapter() method; when running on JELLY_BEAN_MR2 and higher, retrieve it through getSystemService(String) with BLUETOOTH_SERVICE.

As the exception says Context.getSystemService(Context.BLUETOOTH_SERVICE) returns BluetoothManager not BluetoothAdapter.

To get the adapter use the BluetoothManager.getAdapter()
