Adapter class cast exception when removing a Footer view?

Question

I have an exception I never thought I would see. A class cast exception of the adapter when removing a footer view from a ListView (sic).

 java.lang.ClassCa

The problem does not come from removeFooterView(), but from addFooterView(). If you read the documentation, it states that an wrapper will be added to your adapter:

If the ListView's adapter does not extend HeaderViewListAdapter, it will be wrapped with a supporting instance of WrapperListAdapter.

Thus you must use the getter for retrieving the wrapped adapter and cast it to your adapter. Like this:

((MyAdapter) ((HeaderViewListAdapter) listView.getAdapter()).getWrappedAdapter())

Hope this will help you with your issue.
