If you don't provide specific information, then you probably won't get a specific answer. So here is the most specific answer you will get with the information you have provided.

You are getting a run-time error which is causing your app to crash.

Now here's how to get a more specific answer. Next time you run the app, and every time you run the app, make sure you have the log console in AndroidStudio open and expanded. When the app crashes you will get very specific information about why the app crashed. You will need to spend some time going through that line by line to figure out which is the relevant line. It WILL be an error in the code you have written. Error messages appear in red. It will be a large section of text.

If you can't figure out what you have done wrong after that. Post the relevant error message along with a headline that gives people a clue if they can actually help you or not. Ask yourself, honestly, how does "My app is not working" help anyone to help you?
