binding.bottomNavigationView.setupWithNavController doesn't work - kotlin

Question

I'm developing an Android app, in which I utilize both Android Navigation Component and BottomNavigationView.
The problem is that assigning setupWithNavController to my BottomNavigationView, and when i run the app is crashed and generate java.lang.RuntimeException error
Code
NewsActivity.ky
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import android.os.Bundle
import androidx.lifecycle.ViewModelProvider
import androidx.navigation.findNavController
import androidx.navigation.fragment.findNavController
import androidx.navigation.ui.setupWithNavController
import com.example.myapplication.databinding.ActivityNewsBinding
import com.example.myapplication.db.ArticleDatabase
import com.example.myapplication.repository.NewsRepository
import kotlinx.android.synthetic.main.activity_news.*
class NewsActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
lateinit var viewModel: NewsViewModel
lateinit var binding : ActivityNewsBinding
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
binding = ActivityNewsBinding.inflate(layoutInflater)
setContentView(binding.root)
val newsRepository = NewsRepository(ArticleDatabase(this))
val viewModelProviderFactory = NewsViewModelProviderFactory(newsRepository)
viewModel = ViewModelProvider(this, viewModelProviderFactory)[NewsViewModel::class.java]
binding.bottomNavigationView.setupWithNavController(binding.newsNavHostFragment.findNavController())
}
}
