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;
    }
}

Answer 1

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.
