The program suddently finish when changing activity

Question

I encountered a situation where I could not start a new activity when switching activities, and the simulator restarted the program by itself.

This is the activity before the switch

 private fun login(email:String,password:String){
        //Login function of customer
        cAuth.signInWithEmailAndPassword(email, password)
                .addOnCompleteListener(this) { task ->
                    if (task.isSuccessful) {
                        // Sign in success, update UI with the signed-in user's information
                        Toast.makeText(this,"Sucessful login", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
                        val intent = Intent(this, custMainMenu::class.java)

                        startActivity(intent)

                    } else {
                        // If sign in fails, display a message to the user.
                        Toast.makeText(this,"Wrong password or email", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
                    }
                }

                }

This is its xml

This is the activity after switching

class custMainMenu : AppCompatActivity() {
    private lateinit var bottomMenu:BottomNavigationView
    private lateinit var chatButton: Button
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_cust_main_menu)

        bottomMenu = findViewById(R.id.bottomMenu)
        chatButton=findViewById(R.id.chatButton)
        val navigationController = findNavController(R.id.navigate1)

        bottomMenu.setupWithNavController(navigationController)
        chatButton.setOnClickListener(){
            val intent= Intent(this,CustMainActivity::class.java)
            startActivity(intent)
        }
    }
}

This is the xml for second activity

        android:src="@drawable/ic_baseline_chat_24"
         />

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

You have imageView with id chatButton.

<ImageView
        android:id="@+id/chatButton"..

but you're declaring it as Button

private lateinit var chatButton: Button

it should be of course ImageView

this is THE problem based on your logs. If you have other problems, they are not shown in this log; and this fix addresses your wrong casting problem you showed here. – Dmitri Nov 18 '21 at 15:43
