I’m new in programming, and I’m having hard time trying to set this RECYCLEVIEW. Please HELP ME! if you could. The main problem is in the FRAGMENT, I believe.

Answer
You get this error because the onCreate() method was called before the onCreateView() method, so you tried to set the Adapter and LayoutManager before initializing the RecyclerView, so you need to add the Adapter and LayoutManager in the OnCreateView() method. please check the fragment lifecycle here: https://developer.android.com/guide/fragments/lifecycle#states
And also you have created two instances of RecyclerView one on your Fragment and the other in the onCreateView(), so you need to move all the code from the onCreate() to the onCreateView() in your Fragment
