/**
 * <p>
 * RecyclerView adapter designed to wrap an existing adapter allowing the addition of
 * header views and footer views.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * I implemented it to aid with the transition from ListView to RecyclerView where the ListView's
 * addHeaderView and addFooterView methods were used. Using this class you may initialize your
 * header views in the Fragment/Activity and add them to the adapter in the same way you used to
 * add them to a ListView.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * I also required to be able to swap out multiple adapters with different content, therefore
 * setAdapter may be called multiple times.
 * </p>

fix cast exception when user override onViewAttachedToWindow or onViewDetachedFromWindow method
wish do someone's help
