Bottom Nav Program is crashing

Question

I am creating a bottom nav program that involves two buttons. One to open up the camera and one to import pictures from the camera roll. This was working on a singular fragment but implementing the bottom nav is giving me no errors and I am crashing. Please help! I have been messing with this thing for hours no with no luck. I feel like it has somethig to do with the placement of the pre given code (bindings and such)
