mRecycler' is not public in 'androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView'. Cannot be accessed from outside package

Hi,
Recently I converted entire project into Androidx which start giving me below error in RecyclerViewHelper class.

mRecycler' is not public in 'androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView'. Cannot be accessed from outside package

package androidx.support.v7.widget;

import androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView;

  public class RecyclerViewHelper {
  public static int convertPreLayoutPositionToPostLayout(RecyclerView recyclerView, int position) {
    return recyclerView.mRecycler.convertPreLayoutPositionToPostLayout(position);
   }
}

Any other way to access mRecycler and override this error?

Thanks.

Hi @The-RobinHood , I just solve for another project and came across your question.

Since the package of RecyclerView has changed, What I did was to change the package:
package androidx.support.v7.widget;

to:
package androidx.recyclerview.widget;

Hope it can help.
