Issue
I have two RecyclerViews. Parent RecyclerView works perfectly but the setadapter of the child's in the parent adapter does not work.
I tried to make some log messages in the child adapter but they didn't even appear so the adapter is not even starting
Below is the piece of code for better understanding.
MainFragment.java
// Set up the RecyclerView.
recyclerview = rootView.findViewById(R.id.recycler_view);
adapter = new TodayAdapter(getContext());
recyclerview.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(getContext()));
recyclerview.setAdapter(adapter);
taskViewModel = new ViewModelProvider(requireActivity()).get(TaskViewModel.class);
List<TaskList> categories = new ArrayList<>();
TaskList completedTasks = new TaskList("Completed Tasks",null);
TaskList incompletedTasks = new TaskList("Incompleted Tasks",null);
List<Task> intask = new ArrayList<>();
List<Task> comtask = new ArrayList<>();
// Update the cached copy of the words in the adapter.
// Get all the words from the database
// and associate them to the adapter.
taskViewModel.getAllTasks().observe( getActivity(), new Observer<List<Task>>() {
@Override
public void onChanged(List<Task> tasks) {
for(Task task : tasks){
if(task.getState().equals("0")) {
intask.add(task);
incompletedTasks.setTasks(intask);
} else{
comtask.add(task);
completedTasks.setTasks(comtask);
}
}
categories.add(incompletedTasks);
categories.add(completedTasks);
adapter.setCategory(categories);
}
});
ParentAdapter.java
public class TodayAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<TodayAdapter.TodayHolder>{
private List<TaskList> categories;
public TodayAdapter(List<TaskList> todayLists) {
this.categories = todayLists;
}
public TodayAdapter(Context context) {
LayoutInflater mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
}
@NonNull
@Override
public TodayHolder onCreateViewHolder(@NonNull ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View itemView = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.list_item, parent, false);
return new TodayAdapter.TodayHolder(itemView); }
@SuppressLint("NotifyDataSetChanged")
@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull TodayHolder holder, int position) {
Log.d("test", Integer.toString(categories.size()));
if(categories!=null) {
TaskList category = categories.get(position);
holder.title.setText(category.getTitle());
holder.tasks.setHasFixedSize(true);
TaskAdapter taskAdapter = new TaskAdapter();
taskAdapter.setTasks(category.getTasks());
holder.tasks.setAdapter(taskAdapter);
taskAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}

Solution
That is because you must prefetch the child items first before you create its adapter using:
layoutManager.setInitialPrefetchItemCount(parentItem, .size());
