Attempt to invoke interface method 'java.lang.Object[] java.util.Collection.toArray()' on a null object reference

Question

I have trouble loading data from remote server to my list view. It is showing the above mentioned error, and the app crashes as soon as I open the list. I have highlighted the functions where the error occurs in log cat. I also mentioned where is the fuction in my classes.

public class Library extends Fragment {
private MaterialSearchView searchView;
Librarycontact currentItem;
private SimpleAdapterLibrary adpt;
List<Librarycontact> result;
ListView lView ;

public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.lib, container, false);

    setHasOptionsMenu(true);

    searchView = (MaterialSearchView)v.findViewById(R.id.search_view);
    searchView.setVoiceSearch(true); //or false
  //  searchView.setSuggestions(getResources().getStringArray(R.array.query_suggestions));
 //   searchView.setCursorDrawable(R.drawable.custom_cursor);

    adpt  = new SimpleAdapterLibrary(new ArrayList<Librarycontact>(), getActivity());

    searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new MaterialSearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {


        @Override

            for (int i = 0; i < lView.getAdapter().getCount(); i++) {
                currentItem = result.get(i);

You have to do this in class SimpleAdapterLibrary:

 public void setItemList(List<Librarycontact> itemListt) {
        if(itemListt==null) {
                return;
        }
        this.itemList = itemListt;
        contactListOrigin.addAll(itemListt);
    }

or in class AsyncListViewLoader:

 @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(List<Librarycontact> result) {
        super.onPostExecute(result);
        dialog.dismiss();
        if(result!=null){
                adpt.setItemList(result);
                adpt.notifyDataSetChanged();
        }        
    }
