How is
myMutableList
created? And can you show the stacktrace?

this is my adapter
abstract class BaseRecyclerAdapter<T>(
       private var masterList: MutableList<T> = mutableListOf()
) : RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerView.ViewHolder>() {
fun updateList(list: List<T>) {
    masterList.clear()
    masterList.addAll(list as MutableList<T>)
    notifyDataSetChanged()
}

Why are you casting to
MutableList<T>
?
addAll
accepts a plain
List<T>
, no need for a mutable list.

And that error should be impossible to get with that code, because
mutableListOf
returns an
ArrayList
, which overrides
add

yet
so it was my original function
fun updateList(list: List<T>) {
    masterList.clear()
    masterList.addAll(list)
    notifyDataSetChanged()
}
but i get this error every time
adapterBlog.updateList((List<BlogPost>) results);

If you put a breakpoint at the start of that method, is
masterList
still an
ArrayList
?

masterList = {Collections$EmptryList@19456} size = 0

Are you assigning
masterList
anywhere else? Like
masterList = ...
anywhere?

But then it can't be
Collections.EmptyList
