App crashes whenever a Kotlin activity is launched from a Java Activity while using Intent

This app currently has three activities, a Login activity, Register activity and an activity written in Kotlin called the Bookjamroom activity. The Bookjamroom activity is supposed to be displayed On click of the login button, but whenever i do so the app forcefully shuts down.

PS: This is my first post here at stack overflow, please excuse me if I have made any discrepancies, Thank you. Also the classes/activities are declared in the Manifest. And there isn't any issue with the Anim files.

You should instantiate views in onCreate method.

private var bfa: FloatingActionButton? = null

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_book_jam_room)
    bfa = findViewById<FloatingActionButton>(R.id.bfa)
}

or use access directly by id:

import kotlinx.android.synthetic.main.activity_book_jam_room.*

class Bookjamroom : AppCompatActivity() {

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_book_jam_room)
        bfa?.setOnClickListener {
            onAddButtonClicked()
        }
    }

Try the following change on your kotlin activity.

class Bookjamroom : AppCompatActivity() {
private lateinit var bfa: FloatingActionButton 
private lateinit var bnj: FloatingActionButton 
private lateinit var bp : FloatingActionButton
private lateinit var bhb : FloatingActionButton

then onCreate:

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_book_jam_room)

        bfa = findViewById<FloatingActionButton>(R.id.bfa)
        bnj = findViewById<FloatingActionButton>(R.id.bnj)
        bp = findViewById<FloatingActionButton>(R.id.bp)
        bhb = findViewById<FloatingActionButton>(R.id.bhb)

        bfa?.setOnClickListener {
            onAddButtonClicked()
        }
        bnj?.setOnClickListener {
            Toast.makeText(this, "1button is clicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()

        }
        bp?.setOnClickListener {
            Toast.makeText(this, "2button is clicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()

        }
        bhb?.setOnClickListener {
            Toast.makeText(this, "3button is clicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()

        }

    }

</details>
