InflateException with Custom RecyclerView in Android

For a project of mine, I wanted to build a custom recyclerview. So, I have extended the RecyclerView the following way:

class MyCustomRecyclerView : RecyclerView {

    constructor(context: Context) : super(context){
        initializationCode(context)
    }
    constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet?) : super(context, attrs){
        initializationCode(context)
    }
    ...
}

For the sake of brevity, I excluded the most parts of the custom RecyclerView. As you can see, I also added the required constructors as secondary constructors in Kotlin. Especially, the constructor with the AttributeSet which is crucial for such custom view implementations. Now, the XML that gets inflated looks like this:

<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

    <data>
        <variable
            name="postListViewModel"
            type="com.celik.abdullah.myproject.viewmodels.PostFragmentViewModel" />
    </data>

    <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        tools:context=".ui.fragments.PostFragment">

        <com.celik.abdullah.myproject.util.MyCustomRecyclerView
            android:id="@+id/custom_recycler_view"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
            android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
            android:padding="6dp"
            android:clipToPadding="false"
            app:layoutManager="androidx.recyclerview.widget.LinearLayoutManager"
            app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
            app:postListData="@{postListViewModel.postList}"
            tools:listitem="@layout/post_list_item">

        </com.celik.abdullah.myproject.util.MyCustomRecyclerView>

    </androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
</layout>

But I get the following exception:

Can someone help ?

It looks like your initializationCode throws exception during inflation. InvocationTargetException wraps en exceptions thrown by constructor.
