Kotlin Android Fragment recyclerView and context issue

Move this code

recylerView_Main.layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(context)
recylerView_Main.adapter = Mainadapter()

from onCreateView to onActivityCreated

override onActivityCreated and place the above code.

There are two things incorrect in your code :

1. You are trying to access recyclerView even before inflating the View.

2. The context of a Fragment is null in onCreateView and is usable in between onAttach and onDetach
