Why is my RecyclerView not showing in Fragment?

Question

I am new in using RecyclerView so I just followed my previous working code so that I can apply this on a thesis project that I am doing.

The problem is that when I click my NavDrawer and select the option to show my Inventory Fragment where my RecyclerView is stored, my app will suddenly close.

There is an error in my logcat but I don't know why there is an error since my previous project contains the same line of code.

Answer 1

Update your Adapter as follows.

Inflate customlayout_inventorylist instead of fragment_list_options

        View view = LayoutInflater.from(viewGroup.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.customlayout_inventorylist, viewGroup, false);

Here is your updated adapter.

public class InventoryOptionsAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter {
    @NonNull
    @Override
    public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(@NonNull ViewGroup viewGroup, int i) {
        View view = LayoutInflater.from(viewGroup.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.customlayout_inventorylist, viewGroup, false);
        return new RecyclerViewHolder(view);
    }

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull RecyclerView.ViewHolder viewHolder, int i) {
        ((RecyclerViewHolder)viewHolder).bindView(i);
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemCount() {
        return InventoryOptions.label.length;
    }

    private class RecyclerViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener {
        private TextView mItemText;
        private ImageView mItemImage;

        public RecyclerViewHolder(View itemView){
            super(itemView);
            mItemText = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.inventorylist_title);
            mItemImage = (ImageView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.inventorylist_icon);
            itemView.setOnClickListener(this);
        }


        public void bindView(int position){
            mItemText.setText(InventoryOptions.label[position]);
            mItemImage.setImageResource(InventoryOptions.picturePath[position]);
        }

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            //write something here
        }
    }
}

Answer 2

Instead of

<fragment
        android:id="@+id/inventorylist_fragment"
        android:name="com.example.devcash.ListOptionsFragment"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        tools:layout="@layout/fragment_list_options">

    </fragment>

Use Framelayout and replace your current fragment to inventory list fragment
