hi, i am new to android studio. i am trying to create a library management app that connects to firebase. i have already create a login and registration page. I am now trying to go to the next window, but when i click the button the app crashes. here is my code. this is the activity it crashes at. if i remove the following code the app does no crash.
may someone please assist me.

>Solution :

in your onCreate() method, make the below changes

add

cname = findViewById(R.id.CName);
cAdd = findViewById(R.id.cAdd);

instead of

cname.findViewById(R.id.CName);
cAdd.findViewById(R.id.cAdd);
