ClassCastException ViewGroup$LayoutParams cannot be cast to ViewPager$LayoutParams

Question

My initial code line is inside the overridden method onGlobalLayout():

img.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, 100));

ClassCastException occuring in the overridden method onGlobalLayout()-

Error Log:

And when I do the following in order to resolve the above error as indicated in other SO posts:

img.setLayoutParams(new ViewPager.LayoutParams(ViewPager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, 100));

Then, I get the compile time error:

The constructor ViewPager.LayoutParams(int, int) is undefined

ViewPager in xml is defined like:

<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
 android:id="@+id/HView"
 android:layout_width="560dp"
 android:layout_height="255dp"
 android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
 android:layout_marginLeft="160sp"
 android:layout_marginTop="110sp"
 android:layout_marginBottom="80sp">
 </android.support.v4.view.ViewPager>

Your image already has layout params. Instead of replacing them with a new object (which is of wrong type in this case, ViewPager expects them to be ViewPager.LayoutParams), you can modify existing layout params like this:

ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = img.getLayoutParams();
params.width = ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT;
params.height = 100;
img.requestLayout();

Note that unconditionally requesting re-layout in onGlobalLayout() can be a bad idea, leading to infinite layout passes. I haven't verified it myself whether this is the case.
