Hilt ClassCastException: ViewComponentManager$FragmentContextWrapper cannot be cast to AppCompatActivity

Issue

I have this code where I show Dialog Fragment when clicking a viewHolder item in Adapter

 SpecialRequestNotFoundBottomSheetDialog {
            requestItem?.specialRequestEntity?.id?.let { id -> onCancelReasonsSelected(id, it) }
        }.show(itemView.context as AppCompatActivity).supportFragmentManager)

recently I'm migrating to Hilt and I got class cast exception, looks like Hilt wrapping the context and I can't get the parent Activity to get the required FragmentManager to show the Dialog

Solution

I may found a workaround to this crash by checking the Context type and getting the BaseContext. Here's what I'm using now. I don't know if there's a better way to do it with Hilt.

private fun activityContext(): Context? {
    val context = itemView.context
    return if (context is ViewComponentManager.FragmentContextWrapper) {
        context.baseContext
    } else context
}
