App crashing while retrieving from Firebase Firestore

Question

I tried making a RecyclerView that is getting data from Firebase Firestore and it's crashing.

It's not error with Adapter because when I add data manually to ArrayList it works just fine, I commented those lines.

I excluded Importing tags from code, everything is good there. I also double-checked name of collection on Firestore and in my code and it matches.

Here is my code:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    RecyclerView items;
    ArrayList<Item> itemsList;
    MyAdapter adapter;
    FirebaseFirestore db;
    ProgressDialog pD;

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

        pD = new ProgressDialog(this);
        pD.setCancelable(false);
        pD.setMessage("Retrieving Data...");
        pD.show();

        items = findViewById(R.id.recycle);
        items.setHasFixedSize(true);
        items.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this));

        db = FirebaseFirestore.getInstance();
        itemsList = new ArrayList<Item>();
        adapter = new MyAdapter(MainActivity.this, itemsList);

        items.setAdapter(adapter);

        itemsList.add(new Item("Test", "Test"));  //This is test line to see if error is in Adapter.

        EventChangeListener();
    }

    private void EventChangeListener() {

        db.collection("Foods")
                .addSnapshotListener(new EventListener<QuerySnapshot>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onEvent(@Nullable QuerySnapshot value, @Nullable FirebaseFirestoreException error) {

                        if (error != null){

                            Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Database Error " + error.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                            return;
                        }

                        for (DocumentChange dc : value.getDocumentChanges()){

                            if(dc.getType() == DocumentChange.Type.ADDED){

                                itemsList.add(dc.getDocument().toObject(Item.class)); //When I comment this line it works fine
                                //and if I add items to list manually like shown above it works fine

                            }

                            adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

                        }
                    }
                });
    }
}

I don't get any error it just crashes.

Edit 1:

I looked into another posts connected with Logcat and every seems to just put Exception:

Also here is a screenshot of Firebase Firestore:

Data is on my first language not English and also a placeholders.

61th line is .addSnapshotListener(new EventListener<QuerySnapshot>() {

75th line is itemsList.add(dc.getDocument().toObject(Item.class));

If an app crashes there is a stack trace written to its logcat output. Please find this and add the complete error message and stack trace to your question.

I found a solution.

Firstly I haven't made a empty constructor in Item class.

package com.example.recyclerview;

import android.widget.ImageView;

public class Item {

    protected String Name;
    protected String Type;
    private int photo;

    public Item(String name, String type) {
        Name = name;
        Type = type;
        this.photo = R.drawable.ic_launcher_background;
    }

    
    //I added this
    public Item(){

    }

    public String getName() {
        return Name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        Name = name;
    }

    public String getType() {
        return Type;
    }

    public void setType(String type) {
        Type = type;
    }

    public int getPhoto() {
        return photo;
    }

    public void setPhoto(int photo) {
        this.photo = photo;
    }
}

Line is commented. I found this answer on this Stack post.

After that I got empty Cardview layouts because I didn't match Firestore names with names in Item class.

Hope I help someone as well.
