How to implement scrolling in RecyclerView on Android TV?

Question

I have an application that I need to adapt for Android TV. This app contains a horizontal RecyclerView and does not scroll when I press the D-pad buttons on the remote control. I found this solution , but it fails. Here is the code:

<ru.myapp.package.HorizontalPersistentFocusWrapper
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">
       <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
           android:id="@+id/recycler_view"
           android:layout_width="match_parent"
           android:layout_height="250dp"
           android:background="@null"
           android:scrollbars="none"/>
</ru.myapp.package.HorizontalPersistentFocusWrapper>

HorizontalPersistentFocusWrapper is the same as PersistentFocusWrapper , but mPersistFocusVertical = false;

At this point, a crash occurs:

@Override
    public void requestChildFocus(View child, View focused) {
        super.requestChildFocus(child, focused);
        View view = focused;
        while (view != null && view.getParent() != child) {
            view = (View) view.getParent(); <<<------ Crash here
        }
        mSelectedPosition = view == null ? -1 : ((ViewGroup) child).indexOfChild(view);
        if (DEBUG) Log.v(TAG, "requestChildFocus focused " + focused + " mSelectedPosition " + mSelectedPosition);
    }

Crash stacktrace:

    @Override
public void requestChildFocus(View child, View focused) {
    super.requestChildFocus(child, focused);
    View view = focused;
    while (view != null && view.getParent() != child) {
        try {
            view = (View) view.getParent();
        } catch (ClassCastException e) {
            view = null;
        }
    }
    mSelectedPosition = view == null ? -1 : ((ViewGroup) child).indexOfChild(view);
    if (DEBUG)
        Log.v(TAG, "requestChildFocus focused " + focused + " mSelectedPosition " + mSelectedPosition);
