Firebase RecyclerView: No Adapter Attached, Skipping Layout From Fragment

Question

I have an activity that hosts a TabLayout with 3 tabs. I am trying to load a recyclerview based on dynamic data in Firebase and the recyclerview simply is not populating any views. I am not sure if it has to do with the FragmentSectionPager adapter or what, but I am having no luck loading the actual RecyclerView.

Activity:

public class HomeActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements TrendingFragment.FragmentListener,FollowingFragment.OnFragmentInteractionListener, LiveFragment.OnFragmentInteractionListener {


private DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout;
private ListView mDrawerList;
private ActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle;
private Toolbar toolbar;
private boolean isOpen;
private ProgressBar mProgressBar;
private TextView mProgressText;
private TabLayout mTabLayout;
private ViewPager mViewPager;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_home);
    toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.action_tool_bar);
    toolbar.setTitleTextColor(ContextCompat.getColor(getApplicationContext(), R.color.white));
    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
    setTitle(R.string.app_name);
    Window window = getWindow();

    final android.support.v7.app.ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
    if(actionBar != null){
        actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
        actionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
    }

    mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
    mProgressBar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.pbHeaderProgress);
    mProgressText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.progress_text);
    mTabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tab_layout);
    mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.tab_swipe_container);
    mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
            this,                  /* host Activity */
            mDrawerLayout,         /* DrawerLayout object */
            toolbar,  /* nav drawer icon to replace 'Up' caret */
            R.string.drawer_open,  /* "open drawer" description */
            R.string.drawer_close  /* "close drawer" description */
    ) {

        /** Called when a drawer has settled in a completely closed state. */
        public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
            super.onDrawerClosed(view);
            isOpen = false;
        }

        /** Called when a drawer has settled in a completely open state. */
        public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
            super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);
            isOpen = true;
        }
    };
    mDrawerLayout.addDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);

    mDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.left_drawer);
    ArrayList<String> drawerTitleArray = new ArrayList<>();
    drawerTitleArray.add(0, "TEST");
    drawerTitleArray.add(1, "TEST 1");
    // Set the adapter for the list view
    mDrawerList.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
            R.layout.drawer_list_item, drawerTitleArray));


    mViewPager.setAdapter(new SectionPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager()));
    mTabLayout.setupWithViewPager(mViewPager);
    Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
    int position = 0;
    if(extras != null) {
        position = extras.getInt("viewpager_position");
    }
    mViewPager.setCurrentItem(position);

}


@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item){
    return mDrawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item) || super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
