View returning null on tablet but working fine on phone

I've currently got the following;

setupHideKeyboard( findViewById( R.id.login_layout ), this );
public void setupHideKeyboard( final View view, final Activity activity ) {

    if ( !( view instanceof EditText ) ) {

        view.setOnTouchListener( new View.OnTouchListener() {
        // crashes on the above line

            public boolean onTouch( View v, MotionEvent event ) {

                hideSoftKeyboard( activity );
                view.setFocusableInTouchMode( true );
                view.requestFocus();
                return false;
            }

        });
    }

    if ( view instanceof ViewGroup ) {

        for ( int childView = 0; childView < ( ( ViewGroup) view ).getChildCount(); childView++ ) {

            View innerView = ( ( ViewGroup ) view ).getChildAt( childView );
            setupHideKeyboard( innerView, activity );
        }
    }

that is being used to set a on touch listener to hide the keyboard when a edittext is not pressed, this WORKS FINE on my HTC One M7, but crashes on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5.

The view for some reason is null on the tab s but fine on the m7. Any obvious idea why?

It's like it can't find the R.id.login_layout do large xml have a different name to smaller ones?

Maybe there is a same layout file in your layout and layout-large/layout-xlarge folder. But login_layout is defined only in the layout folder file. So since the tablet would take the xml from layout-large/layout-xlarge, there is no problem with inflation, but it is not able to get the login_layout view from that layout file. Hence you are getting a crash.
