Why I can't start a new activity?

Whenever I tried to click the button it stops working.
Here are the logs:

you need add appcompat lib to build.gradle

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.1'

and add theme in styles.xml

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"/>

and in manifest file, peresent activity this way

<activity
    android:name="YOUR_ACTIVITY"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" />

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity.

example styles.xml:

<style name="ThemeCompatLight" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
</style>

AndroidManifest.xml

<activity
        android:name=".your.activity.name"
        android:theme="@style/ThemeCompatLight" />
