Android app crashing when attempting to pass linkedlist to fragment and do anything with it

I am trying to display fields of these objects in a listview which I have working and is in a fragment. My issue is with any example I have that is working it appears to be for arraylists not linkedlists. I will then convert to arraylist to puplate listview or find a way of using linkedlist.

In my code I create a new linked list and populate it in mainactivity with objects. I have a getter within mainactivity to retrieve the list. I have a fragment listview (created after parsing data and populating linkedlist). I am trying to populate the listview items with fields of these objects but cant figure out how to do this. I am at a stage where before i even attempt to do anything with the linked list I am unable to access it in any way without my app crashing.

As below I am creating and populating my linked list etc. and then in listviewfragment trying to access it and eventually afterwards use/change it to populate my listview. Please excuse the mess of code I have been trying multiple different ways to do this and have the same issue every time of crashing upon startup with no error messages.

From what I understand I am creating a list of items within my fragment which is being set to the returned list from main activity and I have tried a simple for each loop to get the description but no matter what changes i make to any piece of code the app crashes instantly on startup without any error message.
