There is a FATAL EXCEPTION:main in my project, MainActivity is not working

Question

MainActivity is not working. I tried to run it on Emulator but the application is forced to stop. I'm trying to jump from MainActivity to UserActivity

MainActivity.java

package com.example.kanishk.coachingfinder;

    import android.content.Intent;
    import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.view.View;
    import android.widget.Button;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

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

    Button clickHere = (Button)findViewById(R.id.clickHere);
    clickHere.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            Intent mainIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this,UserActivity.class);
            startActivity(mainIntent);
        }
    });
}
}

LogCat (Arguments are on next line in many lines of codes)

I suspect that this is due to a configuration issue in your XML layout. This issue had a similar exception:

InflateException: Binary XML file line #8: Error inflating class ImageView

I would check the source of your image, whether it exists in the correct location and what the file format is.

Also posting the XML would help a lot in debugging.

While I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to do, try doing this:

Intent mainIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), UserActivity.class);

Here's my resource, since I've done this before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ow3L39Wxmg

Skip to about 21:45 to take a look at a similar line of code.
