android.widget.Button cannot be cast to android.widget.EditText

Developing my first Android calculator application, I succeeded in updating a TextView in a new activity by passing the answer via an intent, but this requires the user to hit Back to perform another calculation. I'm trying to make the doCalculation button update a simple TextView in the MainActivity and getting the error:

06-22 11:08:17.318: E/AndroidRuntime(31328): Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: android.widget.Button cannot be cast to android.widget.EditText

Here's my code:

/** Called when the user clicks the Calculate! button */
public void doCalculation(View view) {
    // Do something in response to button
    int answerInt;
    String answer;
    EditText numberOne = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.number1);
    EditText numberTwo = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.number2);
    int numberOnee = Integer.parseInt(numberOne.getText().toString());
    int numberTwoo = Integer.parseInt(numberTwo.getText().toString());
    answerInt = numberOnee * numberTwoo;
    answer = Integer.toString(answerInt);

    TextView homeAnswerView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.homeAnswerView);
    homeAnswerView.setTextSize(40);
    homeAnswerView.setText(answer);
}

For reference, here's the code that worked successfully launching a new activity:

// Called when the user clicks the Calculate! button
public void doCalculation(View view) {
    // Do something in response to button
    int answerInt;
    String answer;
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, DisplayCalculationActivity.class);
    EditText numberOne = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.number1);
    EditText numberTwo = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.number2);
    int numberOnee = Integer.parseInt(numberOne.getText().toString());
    int numberTwoo = Integer.parseInt(numberTwo.getText().toString());
    answerInt = numberOnee * numberTwoo;
    answer = Integer.toString(answerInt);
    intent.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE, answer);
    startActivity(intent);
}

UPDATE, the XML for reference:

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/number2"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_below="@+id/textView3"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
    android:ems="10"
    android:inputType="number" />

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/number1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_below="@+id/textView1"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:ems="10"
    android:inputType="number"
    android:singleLine="true" />

<Button
    android:id="@+id/calculateBtn"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/number2"
    android:layout_alignRight="@+id/number2"
    android:layout_below="@+id/number2"
    android:layout_marginTop="14dp"
    android:onClick="doCalculation"
    android:text="Calculate!" />

Thank you for your help, -Michael

It seems like either R.id.number1 or R.id.number2 is a Button. Check your XML and make sure it's an EditText.

Edit: Original answer didn't work, but cleaning the project solved the problem.
