dagger.hilt.android.internal.managers.ViewComponentManager$FragmentContextWrapper cannot be cast to android.app.Activity

Question

I'm using a third-party library that has some custom view implementations. In the implementation, they call Utils.showSoftKeyboard(context as Activity). This, along with using the fragment as an @AndroidEntryPoint causes the following exception:

java.lang.ClassCastException: dagger.hilt.android.internal.managers.ViewComponentManager$FragmentContextWrapper cannot be cast to android.app.Activity.

Is there any way to fix this without altering the third-party library?

Without Hilt Dependencies we can access parent activity as below

(context as ContextWrapper).baseContext
