I don't know what is the problem since no errors occurred in my coding.
This is my Login.java as below

Button register = (Button) findViewById(R.id.register);
@SuppressLint("NewApi")
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_login);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);
login.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override

});
register.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

});
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {

// does not behave as a button
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
}
}
@Override

// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.login, menu);
return true;
}

You need to retrieve your elements after inflating your layout, otherwise findViewById will return null and hence you get a NPE at login.setOnClickListener(/**/).
onCreate(Bundle)is where you initialize your activity. Most importantly, here you will usually callsetContentView(int)with a layout resource defining your UI, and usingfindViewById(int)to retrieve the widgets in that UI that you need to interact with programmatically.
Button login;
Button register;
@SuppressLint("NewApi")
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_login); //<-- here the layout is inflated
//Now you can retrieve your elements from the XML file.
login = (Button) findViewById(R.id.login);
register = (Button) findViewById(R.id.register);
