Having issues inflating a fragment list

With this line of code,

View view  = (View)inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_list, container ,false);

I the following fragment extending class

public class ListFragment extends Fragment {
    @Nullable
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View view  = (View)inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_list, container ,false);


        RecyclerView recyclerView = (RecyclerView) view.findViewById(R.id.list_recyclerView);
        ListAdapter listAdapter = new ListAdapter();
        recyclerView.setAdapter(listAdapter);
        RecyclerView.LayoutManager layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getActivity());
        recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);

        return view;

    }
}

I get the following error message.

That all seems fine to me. Though maybe there's something wrong with the layout file; could you post that as well?

1-Check the id you are putting as an argument for findViewById() 2-Where is the list data you are passing to the adapter to represent??
