То, как Вы создаете отладку .exe (MSVCRTD.lib) против выпуска, создало lib (MSVCRT.lib)?

Хорошо. Попробуйте это: создайте какой-нибудь класс, который, как я вижу, у вас есть Изображение и имя, а Имя класса - Категория:

public class Category {
private String CategoryName;   
private String CategoryImage;


public Category() {
}

public Category(String categoryName, String categoryImage) {
    CategoryName = categoryName;       
    CategoryImage = categoryImage;

}

public String getCategoryName() {
    return CategoryName;
}

public void setCategoryName(String categoryName) {
    CategoryName = categoryName;
}

public String getCategoryImage() {
    return CategoryImage;
}

public void setCategoryImage(String categoryImage) {
    CategoryImage = categoryImage;
}}

И еще одно упражнение с recyclerView

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".Category_List">

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
    android:id="@+id/category_recycler_view"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:listitem="@layout/category_item" />

И один файл ресурсов макета с просмотром карты, в котором отображается элемент категории

<android.support.v7.widget.CardView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="8dp">

<RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+id/category_relative_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/category_image_item"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="160dp"
        android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
        android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
        android:scaleType="centerCrop"
        app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_image" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/category_name_item"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/category_image_item"
        android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
        android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
        android:text="TextView"
        android:textSize="24sp" />
</RelativeLayout>

NextPap Category

public class CategoryAdapter extends FirestoreRecyclerAdapter<Category, CategoryAdapter.CategoryHolder> {
private OnItemClickListener listener;
public CategoryAdapter(@NonNull FirestoreRecyclerOptions<Category> options) {
    super(options);
}
@Override
protected void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull CategoryHolder holder, int position, @NonNull Category model) {
    holder.CategoryName.setText(model.getCategoryName());       
    Picasso.get().load(model.getCategoryImage()).error(R.drawable.ic_image).placeholder(R.drawable.ic_image).into(holder.CategoryImage);    }

@NonNull
@Override
public CategoryHolder onCreateViewHolder(@NonNull ViewGroup viewGroup, int i) {
    View v = LayoutInflater.from(viewGroup.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.category_item, viewGroup, false);
    return new CategoryHolder(v);
}


public class CategoryHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
    public TextView CategoryName;        
    public ImageView CategoryImage;        

    public CategoryHolder(@NonNull View itemView) {
        super(itemView);
        CategoryName = itemView.findViewById(R.id.category_name_item);            
        CategoryImage = itemView.findViewById(R.id.category_image_item);   

        itemView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                int position = getAdapterPosition();
                if (position != RecyclerView.NO_POSITION && listener != null) {
                    listener.onItemClick(getSnapshots().getSnapshot(position), position);
                }
            }
        });
    }
}

public interface OnItemClickListener {
    void onItemClick(DocumentSnapshot documentSnapshot, int position);
}

public void setOnItemClickListener(CategoryAdapter.OnItemClickListener listener) {
    this.listener = listener;
}

}

[ 1112] В MainActivity настройте окно повторного просмотра: сверху после метода создания создайте ссылку на Adapter,

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private FirebaseFirestore db = FirebaseFirestore.getInstance();
private CollectionReference categoryRef = db.collection("category_tbl");

public CategoryAdapter categoryAdapter;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_category__list);
    setTitle(R.string.category_list_title);
    setUpRecyclerView();
}

private void setUpRecyclerView() {
    Query query = categoryRef.orderBy("categoryPrior", Query.Direction.DESCENDING);
    final FirestoreRecyclerOptions<Category> category_options = new FirestoreRecyclerOptions.Builder<Category>()
            .setQuery(query, Category.class).build();

    categoryAdapter = new CategoryAdapter(category_options);
    RecyclerView recyclerView = findViewById(R.id.category_recycler_view);
    recyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
    recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this));
    recyclerView.setAdapter(categoryAdapter);

}

@Override
protected void onStart() {
    super.onStart();
    categoryAdapter.startListening();
}

@Override
protected void onStop() {
    super.onStop();
    categoryAdapter.stopListening();
}

В конце попробуйте добавить некоторые данные непосредственно в FiredatabaseFiresotre и посмотреть, отображается ли оно.
