Unable to parse json and set it to recyclerview : <p>Hi I am learning Android App Development. For this, I wanted to make myself a simple wallpaper app. Hence, I wrote something roughly which is presented here. I want to get wallpaper urls from json. Unfortunately, I am unable to get data from my server. <code>java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to read from null array</code> 
How do I get the data correctly from the jsonParse asynctask?
I am stuck on this the whole day. What could have gone wrong here? 
Here is my code:</p>

<p>myjson.json:</p>

<pre><code>{
    "walls":[
                   {"ourUrl":"http://www.hdbloggers.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Wallpapers-for-Android.jpg"},
                   {"ourUrl":"http://androidwallpape.rs/content/02-wallpapers/131-night-sky/wallpaper-2707591.jpg"},
                   {"ourUrl":"http://androidwallpape.rs/content/02-wallpapers/155-starrynight/starry-night-sky-star-galaxy-space-dark-9-wallpaper.jpg"}
            ]
}
</code></pre>

<p>MainActivity.java:</p>

<pre><code>package regalstreak.me.wallpapers;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.widget.LinearLayoutManager;
import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    RecyclerView recyclerView;
    RecyclerView.LayoutManager layoutManager;
    RecyclerView.Adapter adapter;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        recyclerView = (RecyclerView)findViewById(R.id.recycler_view);
        layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this);
        recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
        adapter = new RecyclerAdapter(this);
        recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
