我也犯了同样的错误，我修复了它如果你像我一样在等待数据，使用改造或类似的东西

放在Oncreate之前

private ArtistArrayAdapter adapter;
private RecyclerView recyclerView;

把它们放在Oncreate中

 recyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.cardList);
 recyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
 recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this));
 adapter = new ArtistArrayAdapter( artists , R.layout.list_item ,getApplicationContext());
 recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);

当你收到数据时放

adapter = new ArtistArrayAdapter( artists , R.layout.list_item ,getApplicationContext());
recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);

现在进入ArtistArrayAdapter类，执行这个操作它会做的是如果数组为空或为空它会让GetItemCount返回0如果不是它会让它成为艺术家数组的大小

@Override
public int getItemCount() {

    int a ;

    if(artists != null && !artists.isEmpty()) {

        a = artists.size();
    }
    else {

        a = 0;

     }

   return a;
}

我有这个错误，我试着修复了一段时间，直到我找到解决方案。

我做了一个私有方法buildRecyclerView，我调用它两次，第一次在onCreateView，然后在我的回调(其中我从API获取数据)。这是我的方法buildRecyclerView在我的片段:

private void buildRecyclerView(View v) {
        mRecyclerView = v.findViewById(R.id.recycler_view_loan);
        mLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getActivity());
        ((LinearLayoutManager) mLayoutManager).setOrientation(LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL);
        mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(mLayoutManager);
        mAdapter = new LoanAdapter(mExampleList);
        mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(mLayoutManager);
        mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mAdapter);
}

此外，我必须修改我的适配器中的get-Item-Count方法，因为On - On - create - view列表是空的，它通过一个错误。所以，我的get-Item-Count如下所示:

@Override
    public int getItemCount() {
        try {
            return mLoanList.size();
        } catch (Exception ex){return 0;}

    }

首先初始化适配器

public void initializeComments(){
    comments = new ArrayList<>();

    comments_myRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.comments_recycler);
    comments_mLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(myContext);
    comments_myRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(comments_mLayoutManager);

    updateComments();
    getCommentsData();

}

public void updateComments(){

    comments_mAdapter = new CommentsAdapter(comments, myContext);
    comments_myRecyclerView.setAdapter(comments_mAdapter);
}

当数据集中发生变化时，只需调用updateComments方法。

//当你在创建阶段没有设置适配器时发生:当api response得到Its Working时调用notifyDataSetChanged()

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


        magazineAdapter = new MagazineAdapter(getContext(), null, this );
        newClipRecyclerView.setAdapter(magazineAdapter);
        magazineAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

       APICall();
}

public void APICall() {
    if(Response.isSuccessfull()){
    mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mAdapter);
   }
}
Just move setting the adapter into onCreate with an empty data and when you have the data call:

mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

当你在创建阶段没有设置适配器时，会发生这种情况:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity);
    mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this));
    ....
}

public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mAdapter);
    ....
}

只需移动设置适配器到onCreate与一个空数据，当你有数据调用:

mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

在我的布局xml文件中，缺少了带有layoutManager的底线。我添加后错误消失了。

   <androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
    android:id="@+id/recycler_view_chat"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    app:layoutManager="LinearLayoutManager"/>
