Youtube player support fragment no longer working on Android studio 3.2 (androidx)

Question

I just updated my Android Studio to version 3.2 and followed instructions to use androidx.

I\'ve been using a Youtube fragment inside a Fragment activity and everyth

Answer 1

I got it working by following code chunk.

Object obj = 
getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.youtube_player_fragment);
    if (obj instanceof YouTubePlayerSupportFragment)
        youTubePlayerFragment = (YouTubePlayerSupportFragment) obj;

During debugging I found that the fragmentmanager was coming to be instance of YouTubePlayerSupportFragment only. But compiler was not able to cast it when I would write

(YouTubePlayerSupportFragment) 
getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.youtube_player_fragment);

The above code chunk (instanceof ) worked fine.
