You are initialising your edittext and button in wrong way. You need to remove android prefix from their id

EditText editText = findViewById(android.R.id.edit);

should be

 EditText editText = findViewById(R.id.edit);

and this

Button bnt = findViewById(android.R.id.button1);

should be

Button bnt = findViewById(R.id.button1);
