Design UI:
First, we will declare the variable rBar to access the Rating using the id like
private lateinit var ratingBar: RatingBar
ratingBar = findViewById(R.id.ratingBar)
then, declare another variable button and access the button using its id.
private lateinit var button: Button
button = findViewById(R.id.button)
In the end, to display toast msg while submitting the ratings we code like this
button.setOnClickListener {
textView.text = "You Rated : " + ratingBar.rating
}
