App crashes while retrieving data from firebase database into Recyclerview

Question

I get this message in logcat when I try to retrieve data in app from firebase into RecyclerView and my app crashes. Below is my java code that I am using to retrieve data from firebase database. App is showing blank screen and when I open it on a real device it crashes all the time. Is there any other way to do this?

Before Android 4.1, method int android.support.v7.widget.ListViewCompat.lookForSelectablePosition(int, boolean) would have incorrectly overridden the package-private method in android.widget.ListView

public class Home extends AppCompatActivity

        Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        toolbar.setTitle("Menu");

        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

        //init firebase
        database=FirebaseDatabase.getInstance();
        category=database.getReference("category");

        FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);

Try to use this adapter in your recyclerview
