setOnClickListener doesnt work when clicking the button

Question

So I am trying to build a small calculator app in Android Studio using Kotlin. When the user presses the add button both the numbers should be calculated and displayed in the textView but when I press the button nothing happens. Please help me resolve this.

I am getting unresolved references error please have a look

MainActivity.kt

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setContentView(activity_main)
    addButton.setOnClickListener {
        addition()
    }
}
fun addition() {
    val num1Text = numberFirst.toString()
    val num2Text = numberSecond.toString()
    // Check if the input is empty
    if (num1Text.isEmpty() || num2Text.isEmpty()) {
        resultView = "Please enter valid numbers".toInt()
        return
    }
    // Convert the input to integers and perform addition
    val num1 = num1Text.toInt()
    val num2 = num2Text.toInt()
    val sum = num1 + num2
    resultView = "Result: $sum".toInt() // Display the result in 
    the TextView
   }
  }

This is the activity main file.

Try this>

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

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

    val addButton = findViewById<Button>(R.id.addButton) // Button element with ID addButton

    addButton.setOnClickListener {
        addition()
    }
}

fun addition() {
    val num1Text = findViewById<EditText>(R.id.numberFirst).text.toString() // EditText with ID numberFirst
    val num2Text = findViewById<EditText>(R.id.numberSecond).text.toString() // EditText with ID numberSecond
    val resultView = findViewById<TextView>(R.id.resultView) // TextView with ID resultView

    if (num1Text.isEmpty() || num2Text.isEmpty()) {
        resultView.text = "Please enter valid numbers"
        return
    }

    val num1 = num1Text.toInt()
    val num2 = num2Text.toInt()
    val sum = num1 + num2

    resultView.text = "Result: $sum"
   }
 }
