<app-name> has unforunately stopped

Question

i am a novice on android application development. I am trying to link a demo android application to a java servlet which is hosted on an apache tomcat server.

I followed the steps of the tutorial accordingly, however i can`t seem to get my android application to function properly. It keeps stopping when i launched it on the emulator

I have followed the instructions from this tutorial http://veereshr.com/Android/AndroidToServlet

Below are the logs from logcat, my Android manifest file and source codes

DoubleMeActivity.java

public class DoubleMeActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {

EditText inputValue=null;
Integer doubledValue =0;
Button doubleMe;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    inputValue = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.inputNum);
    doubleMe = (Button) findViewById(R.id.doubleme);

    doubleMe.setOnClickListener(this);

Answer 1

You should go for following steps:-

1. restart eclipse.
2. clean all workspace including your project.
3. otherwise you need to create a new project and copy all files in this new one. it works sometime because eclipse is sometimes stuck due to lower system configuration.

Answer 2

Here's the problem:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: android.view.linearlayout

The XML is cAsE-SEnSiTIVe. Make sure it's defined correctly in your activity_double_me.xml file as:

<LinearLayout 

Notice the capital "L"'s
