Java - Getting rid of a compiler warning?

Question

i have the following line of code which displays the following warning:

HashMap<String,String> currentItem = (HashMap<String,String>) adapter.getItemAtPosition(position);
// Warning: Type Safety: Unckecked cast from Object to HashMap <String,String>

How can i get rid of this warning?

Answer 1

Have the getItemAtPosition method return a generic HashMap, so you don't have to cast it. Either that or use the appropriate annotation -- @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
