while following along with a tutorial my app continuously kept crashing while trying to open another Activity through the floating action button. I'm not able to make out what's going on, so I kindly request someone to assist me with this issue. I'd appreciate it if you could send a detailed explanation and code if possible since I'm still a beginner there's not much I can understand with just a simple answer
