android – “AppName” has stopped. I get a dialog message when I run my app

When I try to run my application, it first displays a white screen and then I get the pop-up message that “the application” has stopped. I tried to troubleshoot the issue but the problem remains the same for this particular code snippet.

package com.example.recycleviewscroller

import android.content.Context
import android.view.LayoutInflater
import android.view.ViewGroup
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
import com.example.recycleviewscroller.databinding.RvItemBinding

class RvAdapter(var datalist: ArrayList<RvModel>, var context: Context): RecyclerView.Adapter<RvAdapter.MyViewHolder>(){
     override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): MyViewHolder {
//        var view = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.rv_item,parent,false)
//         return MyViewHolder(view)
         var binding = RvItemBinding.inflate(LayoutInflater.from(context),parent,false)
         return MyViewHolder(binding)
     }

     override fun getItemCount(): Int {
         return datalist.size
     }

     override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: MyViewHolder, position: Int) {
        holder.binding.profile.setImageResource(datalist(position).profile)
         holder.binding.hotelName.text = datalist(position).hotelName
         holder.binding.address.text = datalist(position).address
     }
     inner class MyViewHolder(var binding: RvItemBinding) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(binding.root)

 }

        binding.rv.adapter = rvAdapter

    }
}

Here is the Logcat error I faced
