I'm following a guide on coding by Easy Tuto, currently on part 7 at the end where the recycler_note_item.xml would show up on the interface. In the video, he fixed the problem by adding the onStart, onStop, onResume commands and adding `noteAdapter.startListening' in between the lines as shown here: image In the video, it worked and showed the item however nothing showed up for me as can be seen here . I tried scouring the video trying to find what I did wrong. I'm pretty new to coding and I was using his video as a base to learn more about it. I added those lines myself but it diddn't work for me it seems. Can someone please help me? It would be greatly appreciated. Here is my code for MainActivity.Java: 

JavaScript
package com.example.myapplication;

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.LinearLayoutManager;
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ImageButton;

import com.firebase.ui.firestore.FirestoreRecyclerOptions;
import com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton;
import com.google.firebase.firestore.Query;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    FloatingActionButton addNoteBtn;
    RecyclerView recyclerView;
    ImageButton menuBtn;
    NoteAdapter noteAdapter;

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

        addNoteBtn = findViewById(R.id.add_note_btn);
        recyclerView = findViewById(R.id.recyler_view);
        menuBtn = findViewById(R.id.menu_btn);

        addNoteBtn.setOnClickListener((v)-> startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this,NoteDetailsActivity.class)) );
        menuBtn.setOnClickListener((v)->showMenu());
        setupRecyclerView();
    }

    void showMenu(){
        //TODO Display menu
    }

    void setupRecyclerView(){
        Query query = Utility.getCollectionReferenceForNotes().orderBy("timestamp",Query.Direction.DESCENDING);
        FirestoreRecyclerOptions<Note> options = new FirestoreRecyclerOptions.Builder<Note>()
                .setQuery(query,Note.class).build();
        recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this));
        noteAdapter = new NoteAdapter(options,this);
        recyclerView.setAdapter(noteAdapter);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onStart() {
        super.onStart();
        noteAdapter.startListening();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onStop() {
        super.onStop();
        noteAdapter.stopListening();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        noteAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
    }
}


What I have tried:

I think the other relevant codes is my NoteAdapter which is this:

JavaScript
<pre>package com.example.myapplication;

import android.content.Context;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.TextView;



import androidx.annotation.NonNull;
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView;

import com.firebase.ui.firestore.FirestoreRecyclerAdapter;
import com.firebase.ui.firestore.FirestoreRecyclerOptions;

import io.grpc.okhttp.internal.Util;

public class NoteAdapter extends FirestoreRecyclerAdapter<Note, NoteAdapter.NoteViewHolder>{
    Context context;

    public NoteAdapter(@NonNull FirestoreRecyclerOptions<Note> options, Context context) {
        super(options);
        this.context = context;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull NoteViewHolder holder, int position, @NonNull Note note) {
        holder.titleTextView.setText(note.title);
        holder.contentTextView.setText(note.content);
        holder.timestampTextView.setText(Utility.timestamptoString(note.timeStamp));
    }

    @NonNull
    @Override
    public NoteViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(@NonNull ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
        View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.recycler_note_item,parent,true);
        return new NoteViewHolder(view);
    }

    class NoteViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder{

        TextView titleTextView,contentTextView,timestampTextView;

        public NoteViewHolder(@NonNull View itemView) {
            super(itemView);
            titleTextView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.note_title_text_view);
            contentTextView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.note_content_text_view);
            timestampTextView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.note_timestamp_text_view);
        }
    }
}

Please tell me if there are any other relevant codes I can give to help give more context on my problem. Thanks for helping me out if anyone!

So is the problem that you are not seeing the recycler_note_item layout, or that no data is coming from the Firebase query?
