A sample solution

  val btn_start = findViewById<Button>(R.id.btnStart)
        btn_start.setOnClickListener{
            //Your code
        }

Now, the plugins section is as follows:

plugins {
    id 'com.android.application'
    id 'kotlin-android'
    id 'kotlin-android-extensions'
}

Kotlin Android Extensions have been deprecated. You can use Data binding or view binding offered by Jetpack.

You just need to include these line in your Module build.gradle file:

android {
...    

buildFeatures {
    viewBinding true
}

}

A binding object based on your Activity name will be generated e.g MainActivity will generate ActivityMainBinding

private lateinit var binding: ActivityMainBinding

You can now use this binding variable to inflate the view and reference the views in the layout:

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

private lateinit var binding: ActivityMainBinding

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    binding = ActivityMainBinding.inflate(layoutInflater)
    val view = binding.root
    setContentView(view)

    binding.result.text = "My “Result!"
}

}

There is a better way called View Bindging. It makes things much easier. When you use it you won't need 'kotlin-android-extensions'.

Make sure you have this 2 lines at the top of your gradle file

apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'

and put

import kotlinx.android.synthetic.main.activity_main.* in your activity file
