// If problem, please fill out the below. If question, please delete.
[UIKit Version]
// What version of the SDK are you using?

[Reproduction Steps]
// Already Open ChannelListActivity and show list channel , when want action
setOnItemClickListener { _, _, channel -> showCustomChannelActivity(channel.url) }
on
override fun createFragment(): ChannelListFragment {
return ChannelListFragment.Builder(R.style.SendBird_Custom)
.setUseHeader(true)
.setHeaderTitle(getString(R.string.chat_customer))
.setUseHeaderRightButton(true)
.setHeaderLeftButtonIconResId(R.drawable.ics_o_arrow_left_alt)
.setHeaderRightButtonIconResId(R.drawable.ics_o_setting)
.setOnHeaderRightButtonClickListener { goToSettings() }
.setOnItemClickListener { _, _, channel → showCustomChannelActivity(channel.url) }
.setOnItemLongClickListener { _, _, _ → }
.build()
}

Apps will crash and return error log :
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to read from field 'com.sendbird.uikit.widgets.MentionEditText com.sendbird.uikit.databinding.SbViewMessageInputBinding.etInputText' on a null object reference
