My news page in my app isn't retrieving any news and only a blank white page is being displayed instead of a newsfeed

I am currently working on Android Studio 4.0, Build #AI-193.6911.18.40.6514223.

Upon entering the news page, I am being shown a blank page. It appears that the API is not retrieving the news it's supposed to. I've double checked my entire app for any typos (in case it doesn't match the API parameters). Everything appears right but the API is not retrieving the data.

I have attached below the code with respect to the problem.

    private RecyclerView recyclerView;
    private Adapter adapter;

    private List<Article> articles = new ArrayList<>();
    private String TAG = Newspage.class.getSimpleName();

    @Override

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_newspage);
        recyclerView = findViewById(R.id.recyclerView);
        layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this);
        recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
        adapter = new Adapter(articles, Newspage.this);
        recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
        recyclerView.setItemAnimator(new DefaultItemAnimator());
        recyclerView.setNestedScrollingEnabled(false);
        LoadJson();
    }
public void LoadJson(){
    ApiInterface apiInterface = ApiClient.getApiClient().create(ApiInterface.class);
    String country = Utils.getCountry();

    Call<News> call;
    call = apiInterface.getNews(country, API_KEY);
    call.enqueue(new Callback<News>() {
        @Override
        public void onResponse(Call<News> call, Response<News> response) {
            if (response.isSuccessful() && response.body().getArticle()!=null){
                articles.clear();
                articles = response.body().getArticle();
                adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
            }
        }

    }

EDIT :
I have added some code in the API interface as follows and the same problem has come up again after trying to use this query :

@GET("everything")
Call<News> getNewsSearch(

    @Query("q") String Keyword,
    @Query("language") String language,
    @Query("SortBy") String sortBy,
    @Query("apiKey") String apiKey

    );

You need to add this method in your Adapter.java:

public void addArticles(List<Article> articles) {
    this.articles.addAll(articles);
    int count = getItemCount();
    notifyItemRangeInserted(count, count + articles.size());
}

And use it this way in your NewsPage.java:

public void LoadJson() {
   ApiInterface apiInterface = ApiClient.getApiClient().create(ApiInterface.class);
   String       country      = Utils.getCountry();

   Call<News> call;
   call = apiInterface.getNews(country, API_KEY);
   call.enqueue(new Callback<News>() {

      @Override
      public void onResponse(Call<News> call, Response<News> response) {
         List<Article> newArticles = response.body().getArticle();
         if (response.isSuccessful() && newArticles != null) {
            adapter.addArticles(newArticles);
         }
      }

      @Override
      public void onFailure(Call<News> call, Throwable t) {
         Toast.makeText(NewsPage.this, "NO result", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
      }
   });
}
