please help me

Solution

The code which i have written was perfectly good and its working without any problem, In my main code the RecyclearView height was zero that's why i didn't get the output .

[Admin]

My problem was that i forgot to implement getItemCount() in the adapter. Resulted in the same behaviour, nothing showed up.
