My app crashes when I attempt to click on articles published days ago, however it works fine when I tried to do it on a more recent article, here is an image for reference.
The app crashes when I scroll down and click on past news, the app also seems to be quite laggy and unresponsive, would appreciate any advice.
The error seems to lie on the Onclicklistener portion of the code, I uploaded all the codes which I think are relevant.
Runtime error
From the errors below, the classes highlighted were the BreakingNews and the NewsAdapter.

Article class
(The article itself)
I extended the serialization class so I can pass info between fragments via Bundle
data class Article(
@PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true)
var id: Int? =null,
val author: String?,
val content: String?,
val description: String?,
val publishedAt: String?,
val source: Source?,
val title: String?,
val url: String,
val urlToImage: String?
) : Serializable
Source (for the source datatype in the Article data class)
data class Source(
val id: Any,
val name: String
)
TypeConverters (Convert the Source datatype to a primative type)
class Converters {
@TypeConverter
fun fromSource(source: Source): String{
return source.name
}
@TypeConverter
fun toSource(name: String): Source {
return Source(name, name)
}
}
