Below is the fatal error that I keep getting on my App. I am trying to run a chat messenger feature on my application using Firebase. It was running however it has since kept crashing the app entirely. I've made a few edits to the code in the hope of resolving the issues, but to no avail.
I've been following this tutorial on youtbe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn0tQHpMDnM and it appears by reading the comments that no one else has a similiar error to me.
According to the log, the errors are found on line 99 - displayChatMessage(); as well as on Line 109 - adapter = new FirebaseListAdapter<ChatMessage>(this,ChatMessage.class,R.layout.chat_list_item,FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference()) {
I'm hoping this maybe just a simple code error which I have created, or is it possible it could be to do with my gradle build. Below is the error log I am getting.
