androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView$LayoutParams cannot be cast to androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout$LayoutParams

Question

I have an Activity which xml layout contains Constraint layout and Linearlayout, RecyclerView as it's child layouts.

I have a button tied to an onCLick listener on the adapter, every time a click is performed. The application crashes and logs this error.

My Activity class

public class MyBillActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private RecyclerView recyclerView;
    private RecyclerView.Adapter mAdapter;
    private RecyclerView.LayoutManager layoutManager;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_my_bill);



        recyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.recycler);
        recyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);

        layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this);
        recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);


        // specify an adapter (see also next example)
        mAdapter = new MyBillAdapter(new String[]{"", "", "", ""});
        recyclerView.setAdapter(mAdapter);

    }

}

Answer 1

First Check your adapter class casting..

setLayoutParams(new RecyclerView.LayoutParams(0, 0));

if you're no need to change this LayoutParams So comment or remove this line.

setLayoutParams(new RecyclerView.LayoutParams(0, 0)); 

I hope solve your issues...
