Host activity must extend AppCompatActivity about banner-slider HOT 7 CLOSED

In my case the problem was that the library expects the context to be AppCompatActivity (which my activity is) but getContext() returns ContextWrapper.
So I imported the library and changed its code starting at line 123 of BannerSlider.java to this:

if (getContext() instanceof AppCompatActivity) {
                        hostActivity = (AppCompatActivity) getContext();
                    } else if (getContext() instanceof ContextWrapper && ((ContextWrapper) getContext()).getBaseContext() instanceof AppCompatActivity) {
                        hostActivity = (AppCompatActivity)((ContextWrapper)getContext()).getBaseContext();
                    } else {
                        throw new RuntimeException("Host activity must extend AppCompatActivity");
                    }

Also, when I added no indicators the library crashed, that was solved by changing

slideIndicatorsGroup.onSlideAdd();

to

if (!hideIndicators) {
    slideIndicatorsGroup.onSlideAdd();
}

in method setBanners of BannerSlider.java

from banner-slider.
