尝试从 null object 参考上的字段 'android.view.View androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView$b0.a' 中读取

Question

I am working on an app that does BLE scan and update recycler view. The app runs completely fine in the android studio in debug mode. But when I release in production on the play store it crashes with the following error(from crashlytics)..

Fatal Exception : java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to read from field 'android.view.View androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView$b0.a' on a null object reference

I am trying this solution But having the same issue.

Here is view holder generic class

  @Override
    public V onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent,
                                int viewType) {. ///
        // create a new view
        View v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(viewResId, parent, false);

        Class[] args = new Class[1];
        args[0] = View.class;

        try {
            return holderClass.getDeclaredConstructor(args).newInstance(v);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            if (e != null && e.getMessage() != null) {
                AppLogger.e(RecyclerListAdapter.class.getSimpleName(), e.getMessage());
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            return null;
        }
    }

Any help/suggestion would be great. Thanks

Answering my own question as I found its solution:

For me the problem was uploading.aab file to play console without specifying the proguard rules.
