Hi Laura, can you attach your error message from the Android Studio console ? — Stefano Sansone, Oct 28 '21 at 22:36

You must register your MotorActivity activity in your manifest.

<activity android:name=".MotorActivity" />

As i can see the above code, if you are using Activity then you don't need to use getApplicationContext() instead of this you should use this.ActivityName or only this because Context is define for their specific reason like example if you are using fragment then you can use context from onAttach and for Apdater you can use application context.
Please share your error without error i am not sure what is the reason of crash in your app.

for reference check this answer : Android button onClick changing activity cause app to crash

and for context description :- https://medium.com/@banmarkovic/what-is-context-in-android-and-which-one-should-you-use-e1a8c6529652

Thank you, but unfortunatelly it hasn't solve my problem :( – Laura Ferrari Nov 03 '21 at 17:39 — Laura Ferrari, Nov 03 '21 at 17:39
