java.lang.ClassCastException: android.widget.TextView cannot be cast to android.widget.EditView

Question

I get the error in the title when i run my application, I have checked the forums but all my Edit, text views are closed. I dont really understand what the problem is, everything looks fine to me.

<EditText
     android:id="@+id/fairgroundName"/>
 <EditText
     android:id="@+id/rideName"/>


ride =(EditText)findViewById(R.id.rideName);
fairground =(EditText)findViewById(R.id.fairgroundName);

But I don't get what the problem is. Can anyone help please

Could you please paste the whole code when you declare and initialize your ride and fairground views? — edoardotognoni

Clean your project in eclipse, uninstall application from phone/emulator and run it again. — Passionate Androiden

And I doubt you really need to cast all the way down to EditText anyway :) TextView type is mostly suitable for code manipulations. — Yaroslav Mytkalyk

Your code looks fine to me too. Looks like the code for your EditText was not generated properly in R.java.

Clean the project. Hopefully, it would remove the error.

Project -> Clean

Don't forget to uninstall the application from the phone before you try running it again.

I got this same error when just swapping the positions of 2 classes inside the same linearlayout on an xml file. Swayam's advice worked for me

Do you change The order of your views in layout file? Sometimes doing it cause this error. As swayam said do a Project -> Clean to regenerate your R.
