android:onClick intent crashing app, throws IllegalStateException

I am very new to Android development and I am having an issue with an onClick function in my app. I have five buttons on one activity, and all of them are using the exact same code:
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Book 2"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:onClick="openBook2"/>
They're obviously adjusted according to the different java functions, which all look like this:
public void openBook2(View view) {
Intent i = new Intent(this, Real2.class);
startActivity(i);
}
The other four functions work perfectly, without error. For some reason, only this function causes a crash. Like I said, I'm new to this so I don't really understand what is going wrong here (or how to properly debug). I ran breakpoints on the openBook2 function and it came back with this in AppCompatViewInflater.java:
#Override
public void onClick(#NonNull View v) {
if (mResolvedMethod == null) {
resolveMethod(mHostView.getContext(), mMethodName);
}
try {
mResolvedMethod.invoke(mResolvedContext, v);
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
throw new IllegalStateException(
"Could not execute non-public method for android:onClick", e);
} catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
throw new IllegalStateException(
"Could not execute method for android:onClick", e);
}
}
I don't know what this means. I also know that I should be using a click listener because having the onClick directly in the xml is bad but I have tried to understand click listeners and I truly do not. And, the onClick has been working perfectly fine for me about a hundred other times in the app so I don't see a problem with it (especially since my app is only buttons and TextViews).
If you need any additional information, please let me know!

Yes, your problem is exactly the ScrollView. ScrollView doesn't work like that it has to have a layout on it to be used. so just add simply a layout on your ScrollView and put your TextView on that layout.
ScrollView > LinearLayout > TextView
(You can change LinearLayout to any ViewGroup type)just like this:
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation:"vertical">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/real2"
android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="16dp"
android:paddingRight="16dp"
android:layout_gravity=""
android:textSize="15sp" />
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
Edit:
The Second problem and main problem of your code is probably the long String you had set for TextView just try to reduce the text.

Error inflating class ImageButton Stops app from starting

My app fails to start because of Error inflating class ImageButton, Because of this the phone says "app has stopped" Etc.
I am using firebase test lab to debug the problem
the Errors occur on samsung devices specifically A20, s7 Edge , s7(tested with firebase same problem)
I am new to android and have tried many solutions from google and SO none have worked sofar

It means upload_files_upload is not found in drawble folder, well this can be a case, where your file may present in drawable-24 but not in drawble folder, in that case this problem still arise. The point is your file must be in all drawble folder.

The reason for your error is that the upload_files_upload is not in your drawable folder :
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/UploadButton"
android:layout_width="300dp"
android:layout_height="209dp"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/flexboxLayout"
app:srcCompat="#drawable/upload_files_upload"// this line
android:contentDescription="#string/todo" />

I have solved The Issue I changed app:srcCompat="#drawable/upload_files_upload"// to android:src="#drawable/upload_files_upload"
So the problem was by app:srcCompat I changed it to Android:src and it works fine now

How to fix 'Error inflating class EditText' in Android XML Layout

I am getting following error for the line #30 i.e. first line of first EditText in the provided code. This XML is basically associated with an Activity. The error is while binding XML inside activity
setContentView(R.layout.activity_login)

EditText widget should load normally but the activity is crashing with error above.
Providing additional info:
compileSdkVersion 28
minSdkVersion 21
targetSdkVersion 28
implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:1.3.31"
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:28.0.0'

You should set left drawable programmatically if its vector for pre kitkat.
company_code.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(AppCompatResources.getDrawable(this,R.drawable.ic_store_white_24dp), null, null, null);```

Which android version you are using, I think you use Vector Drawable in EditText, But Vector Drawable support after KitKat.

SOLUTION
Issue got solved. I am using "android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Holo""
for my dummy class in android manifest which is not defined. removing
this line solved my issue

As you said, you are not able to get Log file. I'm not pretty much sure on the reason behind this. You may try this.
1. Unexpected text /> in your xml below the Listview myList. Remove that part
Even you can see warning in your XML with Unexpected text found in file: "/>" Always Check your XML warning for any InflateClassException
Layout Resource file should only content elements and attributes.Any
XML text content found in file is likely accidental.
(From the warning message that represents the chance of crash.)
2. Remove Numbers form Id as ids are typically assigned in the layout XML file as a string.

Having issues writing to EditText in Kotlin

So I think I'm having some scoping issues.
I'm trying to use the function setZipEdit to set the R.id.zipHolder editText in my activity. I'm just having issues in setting up the code to be able to do this. Below is what I have which isn't currently working. mZipHold is coming back as not initialized which I though it was in the override
UPDATED
class SecondActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
lateinit var townInfo:JsonArray<JsonObject>
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity2)
SET_TOWN.setOnClickListener {v -> setTowns()}
GET_TOWNS.setOnClickListener {v -> retrieveTowns()}
}
fun setZipEdit(zipEdit:String){
Log.d("SZE",zipEdit)
zipHolder.setText(zipEdit)
//mZipHold.setText(zipEdit,TextView.BufferType.EDITABLE)
}

Ok, But using kotlinextension is a better way to do this, I think you need to do 2 things may solve your problem
first
import kotlinx.android.synthetic.main.activity_main2.*
I think which you have already done
second instead of initializing your Editext by findViewById direct use as
fun setZipEdit(zipEdit:String){
Log.d("SZE",zipEdit)
Log.d("mzh",mZipHold.toString())
zipHolder.setText(zipEdit)
//mZipHold.setText(zipEdit,TextView.BufferType.EDITABLE)
}
you can access your views by only use their id. Let try this and let me know if works
