Kotlin/Parse : com.parse.ParseObject cannot be cast to

Question

I'm trying to do a Parse request but I got this error :

com.parse.ParseObject cannot be cast to com.mysapp.mys.common.model.Lesson

but it doesn't enter inside the subscribe after the return of the request. The answer of the server is good because I have the log of it on real-time.

I believe I have a problem when I receive the answer and when I cast implicitly with the lambda. But I don't know how to achieve it in another way.

fun getLessons(coach: Boolean, lessonType: LessonType?, date: Date?, position: LatLng, distance: Double): Single<List<Lesson>> {
        val params = hashMapOf<String, Any?>()
        if (lessonType == null){
            params["lessonType"] = ""
        }
        else{

        }
        params["lessonType"] = 12

        params["date"] = date
        params["geoPoint"] = ParseGeoPoint(44.557514, -0.86099)
        params["within"] = 4935.772
        Log.e("params : ", "lessonType: " + params.get("lessonType") + "| date : " + params.get("date").toString()
                + " | geoPoint: " + params.get("geoPoint") + " | within: "+ params.get("within"))
        return ParseObservable.callFunction<List<Lesson>>("getSessions", params).singleOrError()
    }

how I treat it :

disposables.add(repository.getLessons(false, lesson, dateSelected, position, distance.toDouble())
                .observeOn(Schedulers.io())
                .subscribe({ lessons ->
                    Log.e("LESSONS", lessons.toString())
                    removeCanceledLessonsAndEmit(lessons)
                }, Throwable::printStackTrace)
        )

I don't know how Parse is working so that's why I have copied on this

request who already exists in the project :

fun getAverageRating(coachId: String): Single<HashMap<String, Int>> {
        val params = hashMapOf<String, String>()
        params["coachId"] = coachId
        return ParseObservable.callFunction<HashMap<String, Int>>("getAverageRating", params).singleOrError()
    }

how it's treated :

disposables.add(repository.getAverageRating(coachId)
                .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
                .subscribe({ rating ->
                    if (rating > 0) {
                        ratingBar.visibility = View.VISIBLE
                        ratingBar.rating = rating
                    } else
                        ratingBar.visibility = View.GONE

                }, Throwable::printStackTrace)
        )

If you need any details feel free to ask me.

In subscribe, I need to convert the `ParseObject` to a **subclass** of `ParseObject`. Do you have any info on that. I get a `ClassCastExpection` when I try to do that. — Deepak Joshi, Jun 27 '19 at 07:18

The following method getSessions is returning a ParseObject instead of returning a Lesson type object. Try to check the type and return appropriate model from that.

Change getLessons return type to this

   ParseObservable.callFunction<List<Any>>("getSessions", params).singleOrError()

and treat like this to check return type.

disposables.add(repository.getLessons(false, lesson, dateSelected, position, distance.toDouble())
                .observeOn(Schedulers.io())
                .subscribe({ lessons ->
                    Log.e("LESSONS", lessons.toString())
                    //removeCanceledLessonsAndEmit(lessons)
                }, Throwable::printStackTrace)
        )

To get lessons in com.mysapp.mys.common.model.Lesson POJO you can do any of the followings

Annotate Lessons class with @ParseClassName("Lesson") See this answer for details
Cast parse object to JSON and use gson to convert to Lesson POJO

Finally, don't forget to do the necessary changes to this line ParseObservable.callFunction>("getSessions", params).singleOrError()

Yes now it entered in the `subscribe` ! But I still need to cast it into a `List`. I already tried the following which is not working : `val list = lessons.filterIsInstance() if (list.size != lessons.size){ Log.e("CAST", "CAST FAILED") }` – Itoun Jun 11 '19 at 16:55
Casting won't help inside subscribe, you need to return lessons from `getSessions` method. You can add that method in your answer so that I can check. – minhazur Jun 11 '19 at 16:58
the getSessions is on the server side and return automatically `ParseObject` – Itoun Jun 11 '19 at 17:04
But I'm wondering something, why in the example I gave into my post (`averageRating`) it also returns a `ParseObject` but the `cast` to `Int` is working ? – Itoun Jun 11 '19 at 17:07
I think that just works for primitives, not for objects. Please, check the answer for the update. – minhazur Jun 11 '19 at 17:58

Finally after some talk I understood that a `ParseObject` is like a `JSON` so I can read data like this : `name = parseObject.getString("name")` – Itoun Jun 11 '19 at 18:05
