import android.widget.TextView;
import androidx.annotation.NonNull;
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView;

public class MovieAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MovieAdapter.ViewHolder> {
    Context context;
    String[] movieNameList;
    String[] movieDescriptionList;
    int[] movieImages;


    public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder{
        TextView rowName;
        TextView rowDescription;
        TextView rowImage;

        public ViewHolder(View itemView){
            super(itemView);
            rowName = itemView.findViewById(R.id.text1);
            rowDescription = itemView.findViewById(R.id.text2);
            rowImage = itemView.findViewById(R.id.imageView3);

    public MovieAdapter(Context context,String[] movieNameList,String[] movieDescriptionList,int[] 
     movieImages){
        this.context = context;
        this.movieNameList = movieNameList;
        this.movieDescriptionList = movieDescriptionList;

        LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.firstpage,parent,false);
        return new ViewHolder(view);

    }

@Override

Answer 1

Change the reference for rowImage from

 TextView rowImage;

To

 ImageView rowImage;  



 

Answer 2

I think you are probably using an imageView in the UI, but in the adapter, you defined it as textView

please first see the XML file and check TextView rowImage

   public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder{
        ...
        TextView rowImage;
    
        public ViewHolder(View itemView){
            super(itemView);
            ...
            rowImage = itemView.findViewById(R.id.imageView3);
        }
    
    }
