Question

I want to get the initialized CursorLoader instance from LoaderManager like this:

CursorLoader loader = (CursorLoader) getLoaderManager().getLoader(0);

But the compiler gives me this error:

Cannot cast from Loader<Object> to CursorLoader

I could hold the CursorLoader instance when it is created, but I’d rather let LoaderManager maintain it. So any idea to fix this?

I am using compatibility-library-v4.

It needs to be converted twice:

Loader<Cursor> loader = getLoaderManager().getLoader(0);
CursorLoader cloader = (CursorLoader) loader;
