when I start using navigation component the app crashes . it can`t inflate correctly the fragmentContaner view. the main activity kotlin
package com.example.task2
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import android.os.Bundle
import androidx.navigation.NavController
import androidx.navigation.NavHost
import androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment
import androidx.navigation.ui.setupWithNavController
import com.example.task2.databinding.ActivityMainBinding
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
lateinit var binding: ActivityMainBinding
lateinit var navController: NavController
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
binding = ActivityMainBinding.inflate(layoutInflater)
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(binding.root)
binding.bottomNavMain.menu.findItem(R.id.fragmentHome).isChecked = true
//nav component
val navHost = supportFragmentManager.findFragmentById(R.id.main_nav_host) as NavHostFragment
navController=navHost.navController
binding.bottomNavMain.setupWithNavController(navController)
}
}
main activity xml:

I tried using <fragment .../> instead of but it didn`t work
I copied your project and after 30 minutes of pulling my hair I finally saw it.
You need to call super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) before anything else.
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
binding = ActivityMainBinding.inflate(layoutInflater)
setContentView(binding.root)
binding.bottomNavMain.menu.findItem(R.id.fragmentHome).isChecked = true
