The problem is that getItemCount() can be called before you provide items to the adapter, so you need to make sure it returns 0 if the list of items is null.

replace this code

@Override
public int getItemCount() {
    return arrayListAudio.size();
}

with

@Override
public int getItemCount() {
    return arrayListAudio == null ? 0 : arrayListAudio.size();
}
