Is it possible to convert ComponentActivity or Activity to FragmentActivity in Kotlin & HOW ??

[gildor]

Why do you need this?
ComponentActivity is way to go for all cases

[Satyam G]

There is a use case which requires FragmentActivity or Fragment for initialisation. But in Compose it's giving error if I am directly passing Activity so needs this conversions. Is it possible ??

Need Casting ComponentActivity as Activity or FragmentActivity

[gildor]

ComponentActivity is Activity, no need to cast

[Nicolas B]

private fun getContextFromComponent(): Context? {
        return when (val componentCallbacks = componentCallbacksWeakReference.get()) {
            is Fragment -> {
                componentCallbacks.context
            }
            is FragmentActivity -> componentCallbacks
            else -> null
        }
    }

[gildor]

If some API requires FragmentActivity, you just should extend it, it cannot be "casted" somehow

[gildor]

What are you trying to do in this code?
What is componentCallvacks?

[Satyam G]

Yes. Agree. But passing Activity as a parameter to my use case which needs Fragment or FragmentActivity as a instance gives me error as this cast can't be succeed

[Satyam G]

This is the Use case

[gildor]

Right, just extend FragmentActivity, not ComponentActivity
