My app crashes when execute Intent statement

Question

I learn android studio programing and I have problem in my programs, when I want to go to new activity using intent statement my app crashed, this is my main activity;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

private FirebaseAuth mAuth;
private FirebaseAuth.AuthStateListener mAuthListener;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    mAuth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();
}

public void onStart(){
    super.onStart();
    FirebaseUser CurrentUser = mAuth.getCurrentUser();
    if(CurrentUser == null){
        Intent StartIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, 
                                     StartActivity.class);
        startActivity(StartIntent);
        finish();
    }
  }

}

and this is manifest :

android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
    <activity android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <activity android:name=".StartActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name">

    </activity>

I solved this problem into another project by adding "intent-filter" into manifest file but it does not work with this project,

this is StartActivity :

public class StartActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

private Button mRegBtn ;
private Button mLoginBtn;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_start);

    mRegBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.RegBtn);
    mLoginBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.LoginBtn);

    mRegBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){

        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            Intent createAccount = new Intent(StartActivity.this, RegisterActivity.class);
            startActivity(createAccount);
        }
    });
    mLoginBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){  /////this is line 31
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            Intent loginAccount = new Intent(StartActivity.this, LoginActivity.class);
            startActivity(loginAccount);
        }
    });
}}

Sidenote : It is a convention in java that variable names should start with a lower case. — litelite, Aug 23 '17 at 18:38
You have a `NullPointerException` in the `onCreate` of `StartActivity` — litelite, Aug 23 '17 at 19:19
In Android Studio you can double click on the exception stacktrace line `at com.ruse.ayse.areyousmartenough.StartActivity.onCreate(StartActivity.java:31)` to jump to the line of code where the exception occurred. The code is dereferencing some `null` value there. — laalto, Aug 23 '17 at 19:40

Your problem is at StartActivity.java:31 you are trying to read from a null reference.

By your comment, you look to miss getting the mLoginBtn from your Layout=

mLoginBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_login);

this is what I have into StartActivity.java:31-37 : `mLoginBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){ @Override public void onClick(View view) { Intent loginAccount = new Intent(StartActivity.this, LoginActivity.class); startActivity(loginAccount); } });` – yazeed Aug 23 '17 at 19:39

@yazeed don't post relevent code in the comment of an answer. Instead edit your original question to add it – litelite Aug 23 '17 at 19:42
