In your onCreate you is using historyList before instance.

try change these lines:

    historyListAdapter = new HistoryListAdapter(historyList);
    historyList = new ArrayList<>();

to:

    historyList = new ArrayList<>();
    historyListAdapter = new HistoryListAdapter(historyList);

Changed the error to java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not deserialize object. Class com.maps.contour.contour.HistoryModel does not define a no-argument constructor. If you are using ProGuard, make sure these constructors are not stripped at at android.os.Handler.handleCallback(Handler.java:754) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:95) at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:163) at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:6228) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method)
