it sounds like you're facing an issue where the RecyclerView works on Android 11 but not on Android 13. Here are a few things to check:

Permissions: Make sure your app has the necessary permissions for Android 13. For example, permissions for accessing storage or other resources may have changed.

API Changes: There might be changes in the Android 13 API that affect how RecyclerView behaves. Check if any deprecated methods or new requirements need to be handled differently for Android 13.

Target SDK: Verify that your targetSdkVersion in build.gradle is set properly and you're using the appropriate libraries for Android 13.

Logging: Try adding log statements to see if the RecyclerView is being populated correctly or if it's failing silently on Android 13.

Compatibility: Test the RecyclerView with a simple implementation to ensure there's no compatibility issue with newer Android versions.

Let me know if this helps!
