How to set filter for recycler view if search query resulting no match in search view

Question

This code works fine if the item we entered in search view matches but if we enter some query which does not match ...application is crashing in android.

Here Main_ATMItemList is the list in which whole list of results are returned. Please help me what I need to add so that the code works even the query does not match.

I have created this method in adapter class

public void setFilter(String queryText) {
        visibleObjects = new ArrayList<>();

            for (RouteByATMList.Route_ATM item : Main_ATMItemList) {
                if (item.ATMNumber.startsWith(queryText))
                {
                    visibleObjects.add(item);

                }
            }
        }

        notifyDataSetChanged();
        Log.e("dataset changed","dataset changed");
    }

Use this works for me all time

private List<ExampleModel> filter(List<ExampleModel> models, String query) {
    query = query.toLowerCase();

    final List<ExampleModel> filteredModelList = new ArrayList<>();
    for (ExampleModel model : models) {
        final String text = model.getText().toLowerCase();
        if (text.contains(query)) {
            filteredModelList.add(model);
        }
    }
    return filteredModelList;
}

Then onQueryTextChange(String query) call the filter

final List<ExampleModel> filteredModelList = filter(mModels, query);
        mAdapter.animateTo(filteredModelList);
        mRecyclerView.scrollToPosition(0);

below is the animateTo method found in the Adapter

 public void animateTo(List<ExampleModel> models) {
        applyAndAnimateRemovals(models);
        applyAndAnimateAdditions(models);
        applyAndAnimateMovedItems(models);
    }

private void applyAndAnimateRemovals(List<ExampleModel> newModels) {
    for (int i = mModels.size() - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
        final ExampleModel model = mModels.get(i);
        if (!newModels.contains(model)) {
            removeItem(i);
        }
    }
}

private void applyAndAnimateAdditions(List<ExampleModel> newModels) {
    for (int i = 0, count = newModels.size(); i < count; i++) {
        final ExampleModel model = newModels.get(i);
        if (!mModels.contains(model)) {
            addItem(i, model);
        }
    }
}

private void applyAndAnimateMovedItems(List<ExampleModel> newModels) {
    for (int toPosition = newModels.size() - 1; toPosition >= 0; toPosition--) {
        final ExampleModel model = newModels.get(toPosition);
        final int fromPosition = mModels.indexOf(model);
        if (fromPosition >= 0 && fromPosition != toPosition) {
            moveItem(fromPosition, toPosition);
        }
    }
}

public ExampleModel removeItem(int position) {
    final ExampleModel model = mModels.remove(position);
    notifyItemRemoved(position);
    return model;
}

public void addItem(int position, ExampleModel model) {
    mModels.add(position, model);
    notifyItemInserted(position);
}

public void moveItem(int fromPosition, int toPosition) {
    final ExampleModel model = mModels.remove(fromPosition);
    mModels.add(toPosition, model);
    notifyItemMoved(fromPosition, toPosition);
}

}
