class cast exception

Question

This is my code:

package com.example.userpage;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class UserPage extends Activity {

     String tv,tv1;
    EditText name,pass;
     TextView x,y;
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
         Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.widget44);
        button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {

                name.setText(" ");
                pass.setText(" ");
            }
        });

        x = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.widget46);
        y = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.widget47);
         name = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.widget41);
         pass = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.widget42);
        Button button1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.widget45);
        button1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {

              tv= name.getText().toString();
               tv1 = pass.getText().toString();
               x.setText(tv);
               y.setText(tv1);
           }
        });
    }
}

And this is my log cat:

Answer 1

If this

Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: android.widget.TextView 02-16 12:28:32.648: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(1039): at com.example.userpage.UserPage.onCreate(UserPage.java:34)

...is in your code, then it seems as if you're trying to cast some (non-textview) object to a TextView. Try to set a debug point in that onCreate and check what is going on.

Update
Are you sure R.id.widget46 and R.id.widget47 are a TextView or did you accidentally create an EditText, given that widget41 and widget42 are EditTexts. Or are the last two TextViews and you try to cast them to EditTexts. Check that.

Answer 2

Had the same problem. My solution: just clean project and rebuild it. For some reason R.class didn't update properly.

Answer 3

I had the same problem. The solution worked for me was:

I have deleted the textview and recreated it by dragging a new textview from graphical layout and named it with different ID. Also the other change was its order inside the xml. It had been on top, after recreating it was on bottom of the xml page.

After that I did not get any class cast exception.
