I am using minSDK 27 and had this same issue, I tried to cast like @Dexter suggest, but that gave an error saying cannot be cast to android.app.LoaderManager$LoaderCallbacks, so I then tried to use different import statements and this worked. I commented out the v4 versions and this is what I have now and the app is working:

//import android.support.v4.app.LoaderManager;
import android.app.LoaderManager;
import android.support.v4.app.NavUtils;
//import android.support.v4.content.CursorLoader;
import android.content.CursorLoader;
//import android.support.v4.content.Loader;
//import android.content.Loader;

Not quite sure when/how the v4 versions were imported.
