When I run my application on my Android Phone from Android Studio, it shows blank screen

Issue

I am building a Chatting App and I am stuck at Sign Up because when I run my application, it shows a blank screen.

By the way, I am using binding.

And when I use this code:

public class SignUpActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    ActivitySignUpBinding binding;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        binding = ActivitySignUpBinding.inflate(getLayoutInflater());
        binding.getRoot();
    }
}

It shows a blank screen.

And when I use this code:

public class SignUpActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    ActivitySignUpBinding binding;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_sign_up);
    }
}

It shows an error that: NewAge Chat keeps stopping.

        binding = ActivitySignUpBinding.inflate(getLayoutInflater());
        binding.getRoot();

        getSupportActionBar().hide();

        binding.alreadyHaveAccount.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Intent intent = new Intent(SignUpActivity.this, SignInActivity.class);
                startActivity(intent);
            }
        });
    }
}

AndroidManifest.xml code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    package="com.agrim.newagechat">

        android:theme="@style/Theme.NewAgeChat"

        <activity
            android:name=".SignUpActivity"
            android:exported="true">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:exported="false"/>
    </application>

</manifest>

I have setted the <intent-filter></intent-filter> also...

Solution

You forgot to set setContentView()

You should set like this:

setContentView(binding.getRoot());

This should work perfectly.
