java.lang.NullPointerException null object reference viewpager

I am stuck while coding and need help on that. I am using view binding in my project. I have unable binding and that is working fine. I have used same code in my earlier project except view binding and that project was working fine.

Here is my XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:padding="5dp"
tools:context=".Home">

<androidx.viewpager.widget.ViewPager
    android:id="@+id/pager"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_above="@id/bottom_navigation" />

<com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
    android:id="@+id/bottom_navigation"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    app:menu="@menu/bottom_navigation_menu" />

</RelativeLayout>

Here is my Java code

package com.example.professionals;

public class Home extends AppCompatActivity {

private ActivityHomeBinding Homebinding;
protected ViewPager viewPager;
protected Mypager_Adapter mypager_adapter;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_home);
    Homebinding = ActivityHomeBinding.inflate(getLayoutInflater());
    View view = Homebinding.getRoot();
    setContentView(view);

    Homebinding.pager.findViewById(R.id.pager);
    mypager_adapter = new Mypager_Adapter(this);
    viewPager.setAdapter(mypager_adapter);

    Homebinding.bottomNavigation.setOnItemSelectedListener(new 
    NavigationBarView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem item) {
            switch (item.getItemId()) {
                case R.id.home:
                    showMsg("Home");
                    break;
                case R.id.profile:
                    showMsg("Profile");
                    break;
            }
            return false;
        }
    });
}

private void showMsg(String msg) {
    Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this, msg, Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
    toast.show();
}
}

Here is the error list

You haven't initialize your ViewPager.

You need initialize your viewPager. For that you have couple of options

Initialize with findViewById before setting adapter.

viewPager = findViewById(R.id.pager)

As you are using view binding would be the good idea

Homebinding.pager.setAdapter(mypager_adapter)

You need to add

viewPager = findViewById<ViewPager>(R.id.pager)

Before this line

viewPager.setAdapter(mypager_adapter);

Edit:

Actually it seems like you're attempting to use ViewBinding as well as regular findViewById, if I were you I'd stick with ViewBinding and delete this line

protected ViewPager viewPager;

Then try this instead

Homebinding.pager.setAdapter(mypager_adapter);
