Added the recycle view to the main activity xlm. Specified the layout here instead of java file.
app:layoutManager="androidx.recyclerview.widget.LinearLayoutManager"
Created a new layout for the recycle view items and the Mountain class which will hold the data for each item.
Created an adapter that will take a list of mountains. It holds a ViewHolder and sets the text of recycle view items to the name of each mountain.
holder.text.setText(mountains.get(position).getName());
Set gson as dependency and set permissions to access internet.
Updated and used the JSON_URL with the JsonTask. Wrote code in the onPostExecute method to use the json, add it to a list and pass it on to the adapter.
