Android Studio crash while switching activities

Question

I've been having trouble with my app stopping/crashing every time I try to switch to a specific activity with a button click. I'm wondering if my manifest file is configured properly, as I'm new to this I'm still in the process of learning to use it.

This is the class activity containing the buttons causing the "App Stop".

package com.example.newdaily;

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    Button btn;

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

    public void addClickListener() {
        btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.start);
        btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, TasksOrNormal.class));
            }
        });
    }

}

Here's my manifest code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.newdaily">

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

        <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity android:name=".TasksOrNormal" />
        <activity android:name=".Normal"/>
        <activity android:name=".FinalAct" />
        <activity android:name=".hours" />
        <activity android:name=".EnterTasks"
            android:label="@string/title_activity_enter_tasks"
            android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar" />



    </application>

</manifest>
