I went through all questions on this,but failed to find answer to this question.I have added library for recyclerview in my gradle file.I couldnt figure it out what i was missing.I have implemted RecyclerView many times.But in this project i dont know what am i doing wrong that recyclerview wont display.Please help

Answer 1

public class Video { private String videoUrl; public Video() { } public Video(String videoUrl) { this.videoUrl = videoUrl; } public String getVideoUrl() { return videoUrl; } public void setVideoUrl(String videoUrl) { this.videoUrl = videoUrl; } }``

In video class use getter instead of setter may be it works.

Answer 2

Change the place where you called:

 getApplicationContext()

Use:

MainActivity.this

And because you are not in an inner class You can just call:

this

Answer 3

EDIT: try using this instead of getApplicationContext();

Try This.

@Override public VideoAdapter.MyViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType){ 
View view = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.list_item, parent,false); 
return new MyViewHolder(view); 
} 

Answer 4

did you add the correct version in build.gradle.

try

compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:25.0.1'

you can refer following simple recyclerview code also
