I am using a RecylerView to populate CardView items. I am noticing that the RecyclerView is generating a NullPointer here, as for some reason the RecyclerView references the parent view and not the individual CardView.
public ViewHolder(View v) {
super(v);
userAvatar = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.profile_image);
userID = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.user_ID);
userComment = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.user_comment_textview);
}
