I am trying to refresh a RecyclerView by assigning a new adapter to the RecyclerView but it is throwing a NullPointerException.
I have created a TabLayout which has three tabs and when you reselect the first tab the method is called to refresh the RecyclerView. But, I am getting a NullPointerException on recyclerViewAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();. I have initialized recyclerViewAdapter in the onCreateView(); but I still get an Exception.
EDIT :
This is a fragment not an Activity, I cannot setContentView();. Please read the question before down voting or doing anything not helpful.
Please suggest a proper way if I am doing it wrong.
Fragment which has the RecyclerView :
Tab1.class :
public class Tab1 extends Fragment {
private RecyclerView recyclerView;
private RecyclerViewAdapter recyclerViewAdapter;
private List<World> worldList;
private OnFragmentInteractionListener mListener;
private DBHelper helper;
private Context myContext;
private View view;
@Override
public void onStart() {
this.helper = new DBHelper(getContext());
recyclerViewAdapter = new RecyclerViewAdapter(getContext(), helper.getList());
super.onStart();
}
public Tab1() {
}
public void update() {
recyclerViewAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
this.helper = new DBHelper(getContext());
this.worldList = new ArrayList<>();
this.worldList = helper.getList();
this.recyclerViewAdapter = new RecyclerViewAdapter(getContext(), this.worldList);
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_tab1, container, false);
recyclerView = (RecyclerView) view.findViewById(R.id.recyclerView);
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(getActivity()));
recyclerViewAdapter = new RecyclerViewAdapter(getContext(), worldList);
recyclerView.setAdapter(recyclerViewAdapter);
return view;
}
@Override
public void onAttach(Context context) {
super.onAttach(context);
if (context instanceof OnFragmentInteractionListener) {
mListener = (OnFragmentInteractionListener) context;
} else {
throw new RuntimeException(context.toString()
+ " must implement OnFragmentInteractionListener");
}
}
@Override
public void onDetach() {
super.onDetach();
mListener = null;
}
public interface OnFragmentInteractionListener {
void onFragmentInteraction(Uri uri);
}
}
The method is called from the MainActivity.class(When the Tab is re selected).
MainActivty.class :
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements Tab1.OnFragmentInteractionListener, Tab2.OnFragmentInteractionListener, Tab3.OnFragmentInteractionListener {

CONTEXT = getApplicationContext();
MessageReciever reciever = new MessageReciever(new Message());

intent.putExtra("reciever", reciever);
startService(intent);

location = tracker.getLocation();
helper = new DBHelper(getApplicationContext());
tab1 = new Tab1();

tabLayout.getTabAt(1).setIcon(R.drawable.ic_person_pin);
tabLayout.getTabAt(2).setIcon(R.drawable.ic_fitness_excercise);
tabLayout.setTabGravity(TabLayout.GRAVITY_FILL);
//onError();
final ViewPager viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.myViewPager);
final PagerAdapter pagerAdapter = new PagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager(), tabLayout.getTabCount());
viewPager.setAdapter(pagerAdapter);
viewPager.setOnPageChangeListener(new TabLayout.TabLayoutOnPageChangeListener(tabLayout));
tabLayout.setOnTabSelectedListener(new TabLayout.OnTabSelectedListener() {
@Override
public void onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
}
@Override
public void onTabUnselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
}
@Override
public void onTabReselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
if (tab.getPosition() == 0) {
Tab1 tab1 = new Tab1();
tab1.update();
}
}
});
}
public void locationChanged(double longi, double lati) {
final Location location = new Location("");
location.setLatitude(lati);
location.setLongitude(longi);

world.setLongitude(location.getLongitude());
world.setLatitiude(location.getLatitude());
world.setDate(timeStamp);
world.setTime(timeStamp);
world.setLocation("Anonymous");
helper.addRow(world);
//tab1.update(getApplicationContext());
}
@Override
public void onFragmentInteraction(Uri uri) {
}
public class Message {
public void displayMessage(int resultCode, Bundle resultData) throws NullPointerException {
double longi = resultData.getDouble("longitude");
double lati = resultData.getDouble("latitude");
locationChanged(longi, lati);
//Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "TOASTY X : " + e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
//Log.v("TOASTY X : ","" + e.getMessage());
}
}
public void onError() {
helper.onDropTable();
Toast.makeText(this, "TABLE DROPED!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
