android - contextthemewrapper cannot be cast to activity

Question

in my small app i have a PageAdapter->Fragment->ListView->ImageView. On onImageClick i want display my image in another Fragment (Fragment3), but when i load an image in my Fragment3 get an Exception

public class Fragment3 extends DialogFragment {
ImageLoader imageLoader;
...
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    view = (ViewGroup) inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment3_layout, container, false);
    imageView = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.imageViewFrag3);
    detail = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.textViewFrag3);
    imageUrl = getArguments().getString("URL");
    imageView.setTag(imageUrl); 
    activity=this;      
    imageLoader = new ImageLoader(activity.getActivity().getApplicationContext());      
    imageLoader.DisplayImage(imageUrl, (Activity) activity.getActivity(), imageView);       
    return view;
}
...
}

and code which creates an Exception. When i create a fragment and add the ListView all passed ok, but when i create another fragment (child) and want to load Photo it fails.

code, how i create a child fragment, without PageAdapter

holder.imgViewImage = (ImageView) vi.findViewById(R.id.imageView01);
        holder.imgViewImage.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {                   
                android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction ft = activity.getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();                   
                Fragment3 newFragment = Fragment3.newInstance();                    
                Bundle bundle=new Bundle();
                bundle.putString("URL", holder.imgViewImage.getTag().toString());
                newFragment.setArguments(bundle);
                newFragment.show( ft, "dialog");
                Log.i("!!!", "Click on image");                 
            }
        })

here is Photo Loader Thread,

class PhotosLoader extends Thread {
    public void run() {
        try {
            while(true)
            {
                if(photosQueue.photosToLoad.size()==0)
                    synchronized(photosQueue.photosToLoad){
                        photosQueue.photosToLoad.wait();
                    }
                if(photosQueue.photosToLoad.size()!=0)
                {
                    PhotoToLoad photoToLoad;
                    synchronized(photosQueue.photosToLoad){
                        photoToLoad=photosQueue.photosToLoad.pop();
                    }
                    Bitmap bmp=getBitmap(photoToLoad.url);
                    cache.put(photoToLoad.url, bmp);
                    if(((String)photoToLoad.imageView.getTag()).equals(photoToLoad.url)){
                        BitmapDisplayer bd=new BitmapDisplayer(bmp, photoToLoad.imageView);            
                        //Exception contextthemewrapper cannot be cast to activity !!!
                        Activity a= (Activity)(photoToLoad.imageView.getContext());
                        a.runOnUiThread(bd);
                    }
                }
                if(Thread.interrupted())
                    break;
            }
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        }
    }
}

Similar case I have. May be related question> Accessing activity from custom button

I solve my case with this snippet.

private static Activity scanForActivity(Context cont) {
    if (cont == null)
        return null;
    else if (cont instanceof Activity)
        return (Activity)cont;
    else if (cont instanceof ContextWrapper)
        return scanForActivity(((ContextWrapper)cont).getBaseContext());

    return null;
}
