I've a fragment namely HomeFragment in my app. Following is the code for it:

}
}

The app compiles successfully. But just as I open it on my device, the app crashes. And this is the error I'm getting in logcat upon running the app:

I assume I've tried to access lifecycleOwner of the fragment view in the wrong place. Please help me with this issue.
Your onCreateView() is not returning the View you just inflated. This means that your Fragment's View is null and viewLifecycleOwner is indeed not valid.
You should change your onCreateView to return your newly inflated View:
override fun onCreateView(
inflater: LayoutInflater,
container: ViewGroup?,
savedInstanceState: Bundle?
): View? {
homeView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.home_fragment, container, false)
return homeView
}
