Problem in opening an Activity from Fragment Activity

Question

I have created a Fragment view in my Navigation Drawer and I want to call an Activity from that Fragment view using an ImageView for that I have written this java code in My Fragment View class But I don't know why whenever I click on my image the app gets crashed please help out

package com.example.gamesense.ui.Maps;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;

import androidx.annotation.NonNull;
import androidx.fragment.app.Fragment;
import androidx.lifecycle.ViewModelProvider;

import com.example.gamesense.R;

public class MapsFragment extends Fragment {
    private MapsViewModel mapsViewModel;
    private ImageView erangle_image;
    public View onCreateView(@NonNull LayoutInflater inflater,
                             ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        mapsViewModel =
                new ViewModelProvider(this).get(MapsViewModel.class);
            View root = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_maps, container, false);

            //on click listener for image

            erangle_image = root.findViewById(R.id.erangle_image);
            erangle_image.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
              startActivity(new Intent(getActivity(),ErangleMap.class));
            }
        });

        return root;
    }

}

it says "You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity." maybe you edited/removed the theme by mistake. check your manifest

Add or modify existing theme with AppCompat theme in your styles.xml. like the following:

<style name="yourThemeName" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat....">
    //.... items will go here
</style>

And you can use this theme as global theme

<application
    android:theme="@style/yourThemeName">

OR

For specific activity

<activity
    android:name=".ErangleMap"
    android:theme="@style/yourThemeName">
    //.... 
</activity>
