App crashes in ChangeLogFragment due to Uninitialized RecyclerView

[euptron]

Problem Description

The app encounters a NullPointerException in the ChangeLogFragment class when attempting to read from a RecyclerView that has not been initialized. This issue occurs because the RecyclerView reference is null when checkIfLoaded() is called. As a result, the app crashes when handling data load events.

Steps to Reproduce the Behavior

1. Open the app and navigate to the section where ChangeLogFragment is used.
2. Trigger a data load event (e.g., by initiating a network request for logs).
3. Observe the crash, which occurs when the app tries to read from a null RecyclerView reference in the checkIfLoaded() method.

Expected Behavior

• The app should handle data load events in ChangeLogFragment without crashing. The RecyclerView should be properly initialized before accessing its properties, ensuring smooth data handling.
