Getting a 'Attempt to invoke virtual method' error in RecyclerView Adapter. Please see details

Question

I have a recyclerview for which I have an adapter.

The problem is that I am getting this error: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity android.support.v4.app.Fragment.getActivity()' on a null object reference at com.abc.xyz.RVAdapterAAR.onBindViewHolder(RVAdapterAAR.java:82) in the following code:

public class RVAdapterAAR extends RecyclerView.Adapter<RVAdapterAAR.PersonViewHolder> {

    public static class PersonViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {

        CardView cardView;
        TextView nPicTag;
        ImageView hImage;
        TextView nDescriptionTag;
        TextView hDescription;
        TextView hLocation;
        SupportMapFragment mapFragment;
        Button btn_accept;
        Button btn_share;
        TextView postDate;
        TextView postTime;
        TextView postedBy;

        PersonViewHolder(View itemView) {
            super(itemView);
            cardView = (CardView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.card_accept_request);
            nPicTag = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.needy_pic_tag);
            hImage = (ImageView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.h_pic_accept);
            nDescriptionTag = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.n_description_tag);
            hDescription = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.h_description_accept);
            hLocation = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.currentCoordinatesTagAccept);
            mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) mapFragment.getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map_fragment);
            btn_accept = (Button) itemView.findViewById(R.id.btn_accept);
            btn_share = (Button) itemView.findViewById(R.id.btn_share);
            postDate = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.post_date);
            postTime = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.post_time);
            postedBy = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.posted_by);
        }

    }

    List<ListContentAAR> listContentAARs;

    RVAdapterAAR(List<ListContentAAR> listContentAARs) {
        this.listContentAARs = listContentAARs;
    }

    public void onAttachedToRecyclerView(RecyclerView recyclerView) {
        super.onAttachedToRecyclerView(recyclerView);
    }

    public PersonViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup viewGroup, int i) {
        View view = LayoutInflater.from(viewGroup.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.fragment_accept_a_request, viewGroup, false);
        PersonViewHolder personViewHolder = new PersonViewHolder(view);
        return personViewHolder;
    }

    public void onBindViewHolder (PersonViewHolder personViewHolder, int i) {
        personViewHolder.nPicTag.setText(listContentAARs.get(i).nPicTag);
        personViewHolder.hImage.setImageBitmap(listContentAARs.get(i).hImage);
        personViewHolder.nDescriptionTag.setText(listContentAARs.get(i).nDescriptionTag);
        personViewHolder.hDescription.setText(listContentAARs.get(i).hDescription);
        personViewHolder.hLocation.setText(listContentAARs.get(i).hLocation);
        personViewHolder.mapFragment.getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map_fragment);
        personViewHolder.btn_accept.findViewById(R.id.btn_accept);
        personViewHolder.btn_share.findViewById(R.id.btn_share);
        personViewHolder.postDate.setText(listContentAARs.get(i).postDate);
        personViewHolder.postTime.setText(listContentAARs.get(i).postTime);
        personViewHolder.postedBy.setText(listContentAARs.get(i).postedBy);
    }

    public int getItemCount() {
        return listContentAARs.size();
    }

}

Please let me know why am I getting this error.

Sorry for bad format of question, I'm still learning how to post good questions.

Thanks in advance.

mapFragment is null. findFragmentById can return null if it doesn't find the fragment (because it's not attached to the activity, for instance)

the `mapFragment` is in xml file of one of the two fragments attached with main activity. There are 2 tabs actually. – Jan 17 '16 at 04:05
