App crashing when trying to use RecyclerView With LayoutManager

Question

I'm trying to show a data in RecyclerView but application crass Error:

Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView.setLayoutManager(android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView$LayoutManager)' on a null object reference

Declaration of RecyclerView :

RecyclerView rvTodos;

findViewByid of RecyclerView :

rvTodos = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.rvTodos);

Here is my SetAdapter class:

private void setAdapters() {
        todosAdapter = new TodosAdapter(toDoList);
        RecyclerView.LayoutManager mLayoutManager1 = new LinearLayoutManager(getApplicationContext());
        rvTodos.setLayoutManager(mLayoutManager1);
        rvTodos.setItemAnimator(new DefaultItemAnimator());
        rvTodos.setAdapter(todosAdapter);
    }

Open Logcat and show the error and i click on error then it's go in this line:

rvTodos.setItemAnimator(new DefaultItemAnimator());

Here is my TodosListActivity.class

public class TodosListActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnClickListener{

    TextView txtTitle, txtClose, txtSave, txtAdd;

    String label_todos, text_add_todo;

    RecyclerView rvTodos;

    private List<ToDo> toDoList = new ArrayList<>();
    private TodosAdapter todosAdapter;

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

        init();
    }

    private void init() {

        txtTitle = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtTitle);
        label_todos = getResources().getString(R.string.label_todos);
        txtTitle.setText(label_todos);

        txtSave = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtSave);
        txtSave.setVisibility(View.GONE);

        txtClose = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtClose);
        txtClose.setOnClickListener(this);
        txtAdd = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtAdd);
        txtAdd.setOnClickListener(this);
        text_add_todo = getResources().getString(R.string.text_add_todo);
        txtAdd.setText(text_add_todo);

        rvTodos = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.rvTodos);

        setAdapters();
        prepareToDOData();
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        switch (v.getId()) {

            case R.id.txtAdd:
                Intent intent = new Intent(this, AddTodoActivity.class);
                startActivity(intent);
                break;

            case R.id.txtClose:
                finish();
                break;

        }

    }

    private void setAdapters() {
        todosAdapter = new TodosAdapter(toDoList);
        RecyclerView.LayoutManager mLayoutManager1 = new LinearLayoutManager(getApplicationContext());
        rvTodos.setLayoutManager(mLayoutManager1);
        rvTodos.setItemAnimator(new DefaultItemAnimator());
        rvTodos.setAdapter(todosAdapter);
    }

    private void prepareToDOData() {
        ToDo data = new ToDo("David Cummings", "26/10/2017 2:25PM");
        toDoList.add(data);

        data = new ToDo("Lawrence Cummings", "26/10/2017 2:25PM");
        toDoList.add(data);


        data = new ToDo("Ketul Inc.", "11/11/2017 3:46 PM");
        toDoList.add(data);

        //notesAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
        todosAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
    }
}

I refer this link but it's not work for me : App crashing when trying to use RecyclerView on android 5.0

Answer 1

As you mentioned you are using two reyclerView so please check your recyclerview Id is it there perfect recyclerview id or you are assign same id for both of the recyclerview .

Reference Code :

Reference : https://www.androidhive.info/2016/01/android-working-with-recycler-view/

call prepareToDOData(); inside setAdapters()

     private void setAdapters() {
        todosAdapter = new TodosAdapter(toDoList);
        RecyclerView.LayoutManager mLayoutManager1 = new LinearLayoutManager(getApplicationContext());
        rvTodos.setLayoutManager(mLayoutManager1);
        rvTodos.setItemAnimator(new DefaultItemAnimator());
        rvTodos.setAdapter(todosAdapter);

        prepareToDOData();//call here
    }


 private void prepareToDOData() {
        ToDo data = new ToDo("David Cummings", "26/10/2017 2:25PM");
        toDoList.add(data);

        data = new ToDo("Lawrence Cummings", "26/10/2017 2:25PM");
        toDoList.add(data);


        data = new ToDo("Ketul Inc.", "11/11/2017 3:46 PM");
        toDoList.add(data);

        //notesAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
        todosAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
    }
