android - Illegal state exception OnClick Method

Question

I am new to Kotlin and trying to make the application like taboo. I have 6 text views, one of them is the main word and the others are the forbidden words. When I click the button words are replacing with other words. However, after I click the button several times it gives me an Illegal State Exception.

var tabooList = ArrayList<WordModel>()
lateinit var wordMain : TextView
lateinit var word1 : TextView
lateinit var word2 : TextView
lateinit var word3 : TextView
lateinit var word4 : TextView
lateinit var word5 : TextView

Here are my definitions.

 wordMain = findViewById(R.id.kelimeMain)
    word1 = findViewById(R.id.kelime1)
    word2 = findViewById(R.id.kelime2)
    word3 = findViewById(R.id.kelime3)
    word4 = findViewById(R.id.kelime4)
    word5 = findViewById(R.id.kelime5)


    tabooList.add(WordModel("F??L","??","OLU?","HAREKET","EYLEM","S?ZCüK"))
    tabooList.add(WordModel("UYAK", "???R", "D?ZE", "BENZERL?K", "KAF?YE", "SES"))

This is my OnCreate Method.

fun randomWord(view: View) {
    var random = (0..tabooList.size).random()

wordMain.text = tabooList[random].anaKelime
    word1.text = tabooList[random].kelime1
    word2.text = tabooList[random].kelime2
    word3.text = tabooList[random].kelime3
    word4.text = tabooList[random].kelime4
    word5.text = tabooList[random].kelime5
}

And, this one is my button's onClick method. It gives me an error on this line firstly wordMain.text = tabooList[random].anaKelime .

This is the error.

Answer 1

Size returns the total amount of items in your list, so if you have 2 items, then the size will be 2, but arrays are zero based, so you have to add a -1 to your statement:

 var random = (0..tabooList.size-1).random()
