java - RecyclerView.Adapter中的getItemCount() 返回数组的size是出现异常？

Question

1.问题描述：RecyclerView.Adapter中的getItemCount() 返回数组的size是出现异常.网络用的是okhttp,数据库框架是litepal，功能是从网络上获取JSON数据并把它们存入数据库然后再从数据库读取，在Addcity上显示出来。

2.主要报错信息：

3.相关代码：
CityAdapter:

public class CityAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<CityAdapter.ViewHolder> {

    private List<City> mCityList;

    public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder{

        TextView listItemCityView;
        public ViewHolder(View itemView){
            super(itemView);
            listItemCityView=(TextView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.tv_item_city);
        }

    }
    public CityAdapter(List<City> cityList){
        mCityList=cityList;
    }
    @Override
    public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup viewGroup, int viewType) {
    
        View view=LayoutInflater.from(viewGroup.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.city_list_item,viewGroup,false);
        return new ViewHolder(view);
    }

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int position) {
        City city=mCityList.get(position);
        holder.listItemCityView.setText(city.getCityZh());
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemCount() {
       // if(null==mCityList) return 0;  //如果有这条语句是不会报错的，但是RecyclerView获取不到数据
        return mCityList.size();
    }

}
