My app is crashing when I try to go to another activity

Question

I'm trying to make a clickable image button redirect to the mainactivity But since I've putted this code, the app crash when I click on the button to go to the 2nd Activity.

This id the first time I'm making an application.

Activity_good.java

public class Activity_good extends AppCompatActivity {

    private Button backGood;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_good);

        final TextView txtBien = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtBien);
        Button genBien = (Button) findViewById(R.id.genBien);
        final String[] pBien={"« Pour réussir, votre désir de réussite doit être plus grand que votre peur de l’échec.  » Bill Cosby", "trql", "oui", "non"};
        genBien.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                int rando = (int) (Math.random()*4);
                txtBien.setText(pBien[rando]);
            }
        });

        backGood = (Button) findViewById(R.id.backGood);
        backGood.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                openMainActivity();
            }
        });
    }
    public void openMainActivity(){
        Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
        startActivity(intent);
    }
}

MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private Button button1;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        final MediaPlayer pianoman = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.piano);
        button1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
        button1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                pianoman.start();
                openActivity_good();
            }
        });
    }
    public void openActivity_good() {
        Intent intent = new Intent(this, Activity_good.class);
        startActivity(intent);
    }
}

Answer 1

Change this line:

backGood = (Button) findViewById(R.id.backGood);

To this:

backGood = (AppCompatImageButton) findViewById(R.id.backGood);

You are casting a AppCompatImageButton as a Button.
