New app developer here. I started working on an app a few days ago. It worked completely fine until I replaced the default to scroll view. I'm trying to make a scroll view with a design similar to reddit, the endless boxes with a set size. After changing the code, I expected multiple boxes that are the same size in scrollview. Instead, it crashes immediately on startup.
I tried changing the dimensions on the scrollview and I tried adding child elements but its still not working for me
I get the following error message in logs:

Any help or suggestions would help me out a ton. I've been stuck on this for hours. Thanks!
Based on the logs, it is crashing at findNavController which is this line in your MainActivity:
val navController = findNavController(R.id.scrollview1).
The activity is just inflating the views in onCreate, when you try to get NavController it will fail.
One simple way to verify this is to comment/delete the code after this line in onCreate and check if the app crash.
If this is the issue, you can move these code into onViewCreated where all the views are inflated.
You can try this:
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
val toolbar: Toolbar = findViewById(R.id.toolbar)
setSupportActionBar(toolbar)
}
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
val fab: FloatingActionButton = findViewById(R.id.fab)
fab.setOnClickListener { view ->
Snackbar.make(view, "Replace with your own action", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
.setAction("Action", null).show()
}
val drawerLayout: DrawerLayout = findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout)
val navView: NavigationView = findViewById(R.id.nav_view)
val navController = findNavController(R.id.scrollview1)
// Passing each menu ID as a set of Ids because each
// menu should be considered as top level destinations.
appBarConfiguration = AppBarConfiguration(
setOf(
R.id.nav_home, R.id.nav_new, R.id.nav_rising,
R.id.nav_top, R.id.nav_inbox, R.id.nav_message
), drawerLayout
)
setupActionBarWithNavController(navController, appBarConfiguration)
navView.setupWithNavController(navController)
}
