I make extension function in android using kotlin and method from the data type, but my extension function not working properly?

Question

I want to make extension function using TextInputEditText and call addTextChangedListener, but when i run the app and using the feature, my app crash. My goal is to create an extension function addTextChangedListener for the TextInputEditText type so that the length of the code can be more concise

private fun TextInputEditText.textChangedListener() {
        addTextChangedListener(object: TextWatcher{
            override fun beforeTextChanged(p0: CharSequence?, p1: Int, p2: Int, p3: Int) {
            }

            override fun onTextChanged(p0: CharSequence?, p1: Int, p2: Int, p3: Int) {
            }

            override fun afterTextChanged(p0: Editable?) {
                findViewById<TextInputLayout>(R.id.regisPasswordLayout).error = null
                findViewById<TextInputLayout>(R.id.regisConfiPasswordLayout).error = null
                findViewById<TextInputLayout>(R.id.regisNamaLayout).error = null
                findViewById<TextInputLayout>(R.id.regisEmailLayout).error = null
            }
        })
}

How I call it

inputPassword.textChangedListener()
inputPasswordConfirmation.textChangedListener()
inputNama.textChangedListener()
inputEmail.textChangedListener()

error logcat which contains my activity

The problem is in findViewById, because your TextInputEditText doesn't containt TextInputLayout also your TextInputEditText can't contains nested view
