Application crashing probably layout error. I cant find it

Question

My app is crushing but the logcat doesnt show anything.

I think its something in the layout, but the layout does load when I disable some findViewById's on the java file..

My layout:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Everything was fine before I tried to move some of the textviews on the layout.

After I moved them, it began to crush. I tried to put everything I moved back but it didnt help.

Answer 1

Everything was fine before I tried to move some of the textviews on the layout.

This is always a good time to try cleaning your project.

"Project --> Clean..."

Sometimes Eclipse doesn't recognize layout changes right away and you will get errors like these that don't make sense. From what I see, you are declaring it and initializing it properly so when you get an error message saying you are trying to cast one object to another and you know you aren't, clean the project and Eclipse should detect it properly. This often happens after changing xml files.

Answer 2

Change

ProgressBar Loadaddr;

with

TextView Loadaddr;
