I just made a recycler view and it was not working, so I put a breakpoint on getItemCount and the method is not being called. I have never seen anyone else on SO have that particular issue, I am sure it is something ridiculously obvious. Here is my code.

public class SearchAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerView.ViewHolder> {



private ArrayList<Object> displayList;



public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {

    public ViewHolder(View v) {

        super(v);

    }

}



public class ErrorSearchItem extends ViewHolder {

    //this is here if there is no other viewholder



    public ErrorSearchItem(View view) {

        super(view);



    }

}



public class HeaderViewHolder extends ViewHolder {





    public HeaderViewHolder(View view) {

        super(view);



    }

}







@Override

public int getItemViewType(int position) {



    return position;

}



public SearchAdapter(ArrayList<Object> displayList) {

    this.displayList = displayList;

}



@Override

public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {

    if (displayList.get(viewType) instanceof String){

        View itemView = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())

                .inflate(R.layout.row_search_title, parent, false);

        return new HeaderViewHolder(itemView);

    }

    else{  //this is for if there is an error and no other xml files match

        View itemView = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())

                .inflate(R.layout.row_error_search_item, parent, false);

        return new ErrorSearchItem(itemView);

    }

}



@Override

public void onBindViewHolder(RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder, int position) {



}





@Override

public int getItemCount() {



    return displayList.size();

}



@Override

public void onAttachedToRecyclerView(RecyclerView recyclerView) {

    super.onAttachedToRecyclerView(recyclerView);



}



}

edit: fragment code:

private RecyclerView recyclerView;

private SearchAdapter searchAdapter;



 recyclerView = (RecyclerView) v.findViewById(R.id.recycler_view);



    searchAdapter = new SearchAdapter(categorizedArray);

    recyclerView.setItemAnimator(new DefaultItemAnimator());

    recyclerView.setAdapter(searchAdapter);

I know It's completely nonsense but for me the problem solved when I changed the RecylerView layout_width and layout_height property from match_parent to wrap_content!!.

add recycler.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this)); before applying adapter
