Android RecyclerView: No adapter attached; skipping layout?

Question

I have the following code for a RecyclerView:

public class HomeFragment extends Fragment {

public static HomeFragment newInstance() {
    return new HomeFragment();
}

private RecyclerView mRecyclerView;
private PostAdapter mAdapter;

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // Inflate the layout for this fragment
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_home, container, false);

    mRecyclerView = view.findViewById(R.id.home_recycler_view);
    mRecyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);

    List<Post> postList = new ArrayList<>();
    try {
        postList.add(new Post(1, new JSONObject("{}"), new ArrayList<Bitmap>()));
    } catch (JSONException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    mAdapter = new PostAdapter(postList);
    mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
    mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mAdapter);

    LinearLayoutManager linearLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getActivity());
    mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(linearLayoutManager);

    return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_home, container, false);
}

}

This produces the error: E/RecyclerView: No adapter attached; skipping layout even though there is clearly an adapter attached to the RecyclerView. What am I doing wrong?

@Sony it's called in the onCreateView inside of a fragment. Is this off the main thread? — Jordan Osterberg, Sep 30 '17 at 03:29
try creating the adapter first and then set the adapter and then set the layout manager — Sony, Sep 30 '17 at 03:32
@Sony that's the way I have the code now and it doesn't work. The order doesn't seem to matter — Jordan Osterberg, Sep 30 '17 at 03:33
are you using another recyclerview to show the arraylist of bitmaps? — Sony, Sep 30 '17 at 03:36
@Sony the array list of BitMaps is irrelevant right now, nothing shows in the RecyclerView no matter what the data is. All of the PostAdapter methods never get called. — Jordan Osterberg, Sep 30 '17 at 03:38

 return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_home, container, false);

instead of this you must do

return view;
