Solution 1:

onCreateView is a method of a Fragment, not a method on Activity, so your method in your MainActivity isn't ever called by the framework.

In fact, that code isn't what you'd use in an Activity at all as per the View Binding documentation.

Therefore your MainActivity should instead look like:

publicclassMainActivityextendsAppCompatActivity  {
   
    private  ActivityMainBinding binding;

    @OverrideprotectedvoidonCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        // Inflate, and then call setContentView() on the returned view root
        binding = ActivityMainBinding.inflate(getLayoutInflater());
        setContentView(binding.getRoot());
        
        NavControllernavController= Navigation.findNavController(this,
            R.id.navHostfragment);
        NavigationUI.setupWithNavController(binding.bottomNavigation, navController);
    }
}
