Rendering Problems: java.lang.NullPointerException at android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView in Android Studio 1.1.0

Question

I have recently updated android sdk to api 22 and android studio 1.1.0. After that I am getting rendering issues on RecyclerView. Here is what I am getting

Answer 1

My problem was solved when I took out this line from the xml file for the RecyclerView:

android:scrollbars="vertical"

I am using the following dependencies:

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.0.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:22.0.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:22.0.0'
}

EDIT: The root of this issue was pointed out by commentators on this solution - to solve the problem, you can just ensure that the LayoutManager for the RecyclerView is set before you display the RecyclerView with the scrollbars property set.
