The app has suddenly stopped working. What could be the possible error?

you are trying to `setOnClickListener` on not initialized `Button` in `MainActivity` on line 25 — Bek, Dec 05 '17 at 14:30

You have button defined in Activity file, and you are accessing layout button but which is actually not there. Please check at your end.
