Question

Just implemented RecyclerView in my code, replacing ListView.

Everything works fine. The data is displayed.

Answer 1

In Kotlin we had this weird illogical issue.

This didn't work:

 mBinding.serviceProviderCertificates.apply {
            adapter = adapter
            layoutManager =  LinearLayoutManager(activity)
        }

While this worked:

mBinding.serviceProviderCertificates.adapter = adapter
mBinding.serviceProviderCertificates.layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(activity)

Once I get more after work hours, I will share more insights.
