Kotlin "D/skia: --- Failed to create image decoder with message 'unimplemented'" Error preventing functionality of button at login/registration screen

Question

Hello I am currently facing an issue with my Kotlin code in Android SDK. For the purposes of a small personal project I am trying to get a simple change password functionality working with a nodeJS file and mongoDB. However I've run into the issue while writting up some code to this end. It seems that my change_password function doesn't want to launch the sequence to input the new password due to the following error "D/skia: --- Failed to create image decoder with message 'unimplemented'" which is only visible in the debug mode. I am not even certain where to start debugging this issue, so I'm hoping someone here might be able to help. Bellow I have provided my MainActivity file where the change_password function is present. Additionally I have provided the xml layout files involved in these operations.
