Using Cardslib: "CardView cannot be cast to CardNativeView"

Question

i just implemented Cardslib in my code.

I'm using the following code to implement TopColoredCard:

ArrayList<Card> cards = initCard();
updateAdapter(cards);    

...

private ArrayList<Card> initCard() {
    //Init an array of Cards
    ArrayList<Card> cards = new ArrayList<>();
    for (int i = 0; i < AppData.mTitles.length; i++) {
        TopColoredCard card = new TopColoredCard(getApplicationContext());
        card.setColorResourceId(AppData.mColors[i]);
        card.setTitleOverColor(AppData.mTitles[i]);
        card.setSubTitleOverColor(subTitle(i));
        cards.add(card);
    }
    return cards;
}

And implemented:

compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:21.0.3'
compile 'com.github.gabrielemariotti.cards:cardslib-core:2.0.1'
compile 'com.github.gabrielemariotti.cards:cardslib-recyclerview:2.0.1'
compile 'com.github.gabrielemariotti.cards:cardslib-cards:2.0.1'

It works well on Android 5.0 and higher. On lower Versions I get the following error:

I think it is a bug of the lib, because it works on API lvl. 20 but it doesn't work on lower version.

Maybe anyone of you can help me.

Change your class from CardView to CardNativeView in your xml file.
