I am trying to use a recycler view inside my dashboard fragment but the app crashes when I try to run the app and shows this error in logcat window -> Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView.setLayoutManager(androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView$LayoutManager)' on a null object reference
This is my fragment code
package com.example.bookhub;
import android.content.Context;
import android.os.Bundle;
import androidx.fragment.app.Fragment;
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.LinearLayoutManager;
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
public class Dashboard_Fragment extends Fragment {
RecyclerView Recycler;
RecyclerView.LayoutManager layoutManager;
Dashboard_Recycler_Adapter recyclerAdapter;
List<String> bookList = Arrays.asList(
"P.S. I love You",
"The Great Gatsby",
"Anna Karenina",
"Madame Bovary",
"War & Peace",
"Middlemarch",
"The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn",
"Moby-Dick",
"The Lord of the Rings");
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
Recycler = getActivity().findViewById(R.id.Recycler);
layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getActivity());
recyclerAdapter = new Dashboard_Recycler_Adapter((Context) getActivity(),bookList);
Recycler.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
Recycler.setAdapter(recyclerAdapter);
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_dashboard, container, false);
}
}
This is the code for adapter
package com.example.bookhub;
import android.content.Context;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.TextView;
import androidx.annotation.NonNull;
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class Dashboard_Recycler_Adapter extends
RecyclerView.Adapter<Dashboard_Recycler_Adapter.DashboardViewHolder>{
List<String> bookList;
public Dashboard_Recycler_Adapter(Context context, List<String> list)
{
this.bookList = list;
}
@NonNull
@Override
public DashboardViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(@NonNull ViewGroup parent, int viewType)
{
View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.recycler_view_single_row, parent, false);
return new DashboardViewHolder(view);
}
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull DashboardViewHolder holder, int position)
{
holder.textView.setText(bookList.get(position));
}
@Override
public int getItemCount()
{
return bookList.size();
}
public static class DashboardViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder
{
TextView textView;
public DashboardViewHolder(@NonNull View itemView) {
super(itemView);
textView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.txtRecyclerRowItem);
}
}
}
This is the XML Code of the recycler view in the dashboard fragment
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

You should inflate the view before to get its RecyclerView.
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
public class Dashboard_Fragment extends Fragment {
RecyclerView recycler;
Dashboard_Recycler_Adapter recyclerAdapter;
List<String> books= Arrays.asList(
"P.S. I love You",
"The Great Gatsby",
"Anna Karenina",
"Madame Bovary",
"War & Peace",
"Middlemarch",
"The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn",
"Moby-Dick",
"The Lord of the Rings");
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_dashboard, container, false);
recycler = view.findViewById(R.id.Recycler);
recyclerAdapter = new Dashboard_Recycler_Adapter(requiredContext(), books);
recycler.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(requiredActivity()));
recycler.setAdapter(recyclerAdapter);
return view;
}
}
Advices : you should name your classes in camel case format (DashboardFragment, DashboardRecyclerAdapter etc.). In fragments use resquiredContext and requiredActivity when you wants context or activity.

Change this line
RecyclerView Recycler;
to this
RecyclerView recycler;
and also this line
Recycler = getActivity().findViewById(R.id.Recycler);
to this
recycler= getActivity().findViewById(R.id.Recycler);
