title: Big Nerd Ranch Android. RecyclerView won't display data
body: <p>Kind of a shot in the dark here. Maybe somebody will have an idea what I'm talking about but I'm stuck on a problem that I've tried everything on to no avail :( </p>
  
  <p>It's chapter 9 at the very end in the second edition of the Big Nerd Ranch Android book, 2nd Edition. When I run the code on the simulator all I get is a blank white screen with a tiny blue bar at the top, I'm supposed to have custom list items in a listview. </p>
  
  <p>I have the code exact at this point but my recycler view won't show any data from the model. To make this easier on the eye rather than copying and pasting a bunch of places here is the repository for where I can't get it. I've toyed around with XML files and my logcat doesn't give me anything noteworthy. I'm using Android Studio 1.5</p>
