I'm using kotlin in android studio and when I run my code, only 2 out of 3 buttons work. I'm still confused why it does happen, because I just copy-pasted the same code for all the three buttons.
The 'TODAY' Button below doesn't work. It's id is btn_today
Other App details: The app should ask the name on the first install. The 3 buttons here open different activities.
MainActivity.kt:
package com.example.mytimetable
import android.content.Intent
import android.os.Bundle
import android.widget.*
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
        val prefs = getSharedPreferences("prefs", MODE_PRIVATE)
        val firstStart = prefs.getBoolean("firstStart", true)
        if (firstStart) {
            showStartDialog()
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_login)
            login() // asks name on first launch
            val buttonSubmit: Button = findViewById(R.id.btn_submit)
            buttonSubmit.setOnClickListener {
                //                TODO(reason = store name on first launch)
                string_name = editText_login.text.toString()
                //                name_text.text = string_name //uncommentting this line gives an error!
                setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
                Toast.makeText(this, "Please exit and open the app again",
                               Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show() // I had to ask the user to close and open the app again 
                // because 
                // the app doesn't respond to any of the buttons on the first start.
            }
        }
        if (!firstStart) {
            val button_today: Button = findViewById(R.id.btn_today)
            button_today.setOnClickListener {
                val intent = Intent(this, today_activity::class.java)
                startActivity(intent)
            }
            val button_tomorrow: Button = findViewById(R.id.btn_tomorrow)
            button_tomorrow.setOnClickListener {
                val intent = Intent(this, tomorrow_activity::class.java)
                startActivity(intent)
            }
            val button_all_days: Button = findViewById(R.id.weekly)
            button_all_days.setOnClickListener {
                val intent = Intent(this, all_days::class.java)
                startActivity(intent)
            }
            val button_settings: ImageButton = findViewById(R.id.setting_btn)
            //        TODO(reason = "Finish the Settings part")
            button_settings.setOnClickListener {
                Toast.makeText(this, "Settings still in development", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
                val intent = Intent(this, SettingsActivity::class.java)
                startActivity(intent)
            }
        }
    }
    private fun showStartDialog() {
        Toast.makeText(this, "Welcome to 9A timetable app", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
        val prefs = getSharedPreferences("prefs", MODE_PRIVATE)
        val editor = prefs.edit()
        editor.putBoolean("firstStart", false)
        editor.apply()
    }
    fun login() {
        val intent2 = Intent(this, login::class.java)
    }
}
