Process: com.example.yudha.kotlinauth, PID: 16435 java.lang.IllegalStateException: video_recyclerview must not be null at com.example.yudha.kotlinauth.fragments.VideoFragment.onCreateView(VideoFragment.kt:30)

RecyclerView Adapter:

    class MainAdapter : RecyclerView.Adapter<CustomViewHolder>(){
    val videoTitles = listOf("First title", "Second", "3rd", "Moore Title")

    //number of item
    override fun getItemCount(): Int {
        return videoTitles.size
    }

    override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): CustomViewHolder {
        //create view
        val layoutInflater = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context)
        val cellForRow = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.video_row, parent, false)
        return CustomViewHolder(cellForRow)
    }

    override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: CustomViewHolder, position: Int) {
        val videoTitle = videoTitles.get(position)
        holder?.view?.video_title.text= videoTitle
    }
}

class CustomViewHolder(val view: View): RecyclerView.ViewHolder(view){

}

Fragment Activity:

class VideoFragment : Fragment() {

    override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?,
                              savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
        val rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_video, container, false)


        video_recyclerview.layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(activity)
        video_recyclerview.adapter = MainAdapter()
        return rootView
    }
}

myFragment XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    android:layout_width="match_parent"

    android:orientation="vertical"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    tools:context=".fragments.VideoFragment">


    <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
        android:id="@+id/video_recyclerview"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>

Recycler view(videorow.xml):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

You have forgot to do:

video_recyclerview = rootView.findViewById(R.id.id_of_video_recyclerview) as RecyclerView

So the code be like:-

override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?,
                              savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
        val rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_video, container, false)
        video_recyclerview = rootView.findViewById(R.id.id_of_video_recyclerview) as RecyclerView // Add this
        video_recyclerview.layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(activity)
        video_recyclerview.adapter = MainAdapter()
        return rootView
    }
