Why I cannot use Listview within Fragment

How to use Listview within Fragment. I have implemented almost similar code in an Activity, there it worked perfectly. But in case of Fragment, I have only modified a little to avoid the errors showed by Android Studio. But, it's not working here. here is my code:

class FragmentMascot : Fragment() {
  override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater?, container: ViewGroup?, savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
    val view= inflater!!.inflate(R.layout.fragment_mascot, container, false)
    val listview = view.findViewById<ListView>(R.id.maskot_list)
    //listview.adapter = MaskotAdapter(this) -> this does't work in fragment but worked in activity
    listview.adapter = MaskotAdapter(context)
    return view
  }

and my MaskotAdapter class is:

private class MaskotAdapter(context: Context): BaseAdapter() {

    private val mContext: Context

    //values can be entered from database too.

    private val maskot_names_list = arrayListOf<String>("","","","")

    private val maskot_details_list = arrayListOf<String>("","","","")

    private val maskot_images_list = arrayListOf<Int>(0,0,0,0)

    init {
      this.mContext = context
    }
    //row count
    override fun getCount(): Int {
      return maskot_names_list.size //To change body of created functions use File | Settings | File Templates.
    }

    override fun getItem(position: Int): Any {
      return "test String" //To change body of created functions use File | Settings | File Templates.
    }

    override fun getItemId(position: Int): Long {
      return position.toLong()//To change body of created functions use File | Settings | File Templates.
    }
    //renders each row
    override fun getView(position: Int, convertView: View?, parent: ViewGroup?): View {
      val layoutInflater = LayoutInflater.from(mContext)
      val maskot_row=layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_maskot_fragment, parent, false)

      val maskot_names = maskot_row.findViewById<TextView>(R.id.maskot_name)
      maskot_names.text=maskot_names_list.get(position)

      // showing ??? if maskot name is empty
      // and giving it a little padding top, to not to keep it on top
      if(maskot_names.text=="")
      {
        maskot_names.text="？？？"
        maskot_names.setPadding( 0, 16, 0, 0)
      }

      val maskot_details = maskot_row.findViewById<TextView>(R.id.maskot_details)
      maskot_details.text=maskot_details_list.get(position)


      if(maskot_images_list.get(position)!=0)
      {
        // showing particular maskot image if maskot image is not empty
        val maskot_image = maskot_row.findViewById<ImageView>(R.id.maskot_image)
        maskot_image.setImageResource(maskot_images_list.get(position))
      }
      return maskot_row
    }
  }
