Android Holoeverywhere DatePreference error

I am using the Holoeverywhere library. I should have a preference where the user picks a date. I put this preference in my file like this

<org.holoeverywhere.preference.DatePreference
        android:key="preference_birth_date"
        android:summary="@string/preference_birth_date"
        android:title="@string/preference_birth_date" />

When i start the preference screen I get the following error:

When I remove the preference from the XML file everything works fine. I only set the preference in the XML I didn't do anything in code yet.

You have a string value with key preference_birth_date in your store. It caused by using EditTextPreference earlier with the same key. Just clear app data or change key to something else.

It looks that your not yet implemented class 'ComponentInfo' has problem with casting string to long, look into code of that class or override 'onCreate' method in any subclass of 'ComponentInfo'.
