RecycleView No adapter attached

Question

Recently i am working on RecycleView nad Retrofit for Json practise. I have managed everything but when i run my app it crushed and shows that no adapter attached.

This is my MainActivity class

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity{
public MyRecycleViewAdapter adapter;
public RecyclerView recyclerView;
List<Movie> movies;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);


    recyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.recycler_view);
    LinearLayoutManager llm= new LinearLayoutManager(this,LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL,false);
    recyclerView.setLayoutManager(llm);

    ApiINterface apiINterface = ApiClient.getClient().create(ApiINterface.class);
    Call<Movies> call = apiINterface.getSongList("just_added");

    call.enqueue(new Callback<Movies>() {
        @Override
        public void onResponse(Call<Movies> call, Response<Movies> response) {

           movies = response.body().getMovies();

            adapter = new MyRecycleViewAdapter(MainActivity.this , movies);
            recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
        }

        @Override
        public void onFailure(Call<Movies> call, Throwable t) {

        }
    });

}}

And this is my Logcat:

 06-14 17:05:21.16125804-25804/com.example.lolipop.retrofitexamplewithhindisong E/RecyclerView:

why this question will duplicate this is about RecycleView Adapter problem and you tag that is null point problem @Ironman — pavel, Jun 14 '16 at 11:17
did you check if `response.body().getMovies();` is not returning null value ? — M.Waqas Pervez, Jun 14 '16 at 11:20
Also check if `onFailure` is being called instead of `onResponse`. — Ishita Sinha, Jun 14 '16 at 11:22

Tip: if you click MainActivity.java:45 on the logcat at the first line under null pointer exception it would show you the exact line which causes the error. Do that and show that exact line using a comment. The line should be inside the onResponse() method. — Malith Lakshan, Jun 14 '16 at 11:28

I think response.body().getMovies() returning null. Better to check for null -

if(response.body() != null && response.body().getMovies() != null && response.body().getMovies().size()> 0){
adapter = new MyRecycleViewAdapter(MainActivity.this , movies);
                recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
}

RecycleView No adapter attached
