CodePudding user response：

It looks like messageBox isn't initialized in:

val message = messageBox.text.toString()

The reason is that you're introducing a new local variable here:

var messageBox =  findViewById<EditText>(R.id.message)

To initialize the messageBox field, remove the var keyword:

messageBox =  findViewById<EditText>(R.id.message)

CodePudding user response：

You have overrided messageBox object creation.

Just remove var from inside class object creation

var messageBox = findViewById<EditText>(R.id.message) to only

messageBox =  findViewById<EditText>(R.id.message)
