Class cast exception in FrameLayout when am trying to change the order of views in layout xml?

Question

Here is my layout file

 <FrameLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_weight="3">

    <WebView
        android:id="@+id/document_id"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

   <ProgressBar
        android:id="@+id/load_document_progress"
        android:layout_width="30dp"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:layout_height="30dp"
        android:visibility="invisible"/>

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/start_btn"
        android:layout_width="90dp"
        android:layout_height="30dp"
        android:text="@string/start_btn_txt"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:textColor="#000000"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:visibility="invisible"
        android:onClick="updatePresentationId"
        android:background="@drawable/border_radius"/>



</FrameLayout>

This is working. But when I have to change the order of the elements. I will get ClassCastException. Here is my my logcat trace.

And here is my Activity code

public void getAllViews()
{
    **progressBar=(ProgressBar)findViewById(R.id.load_document_progress);**
    startButton=(Button)findViewById(R.id.start_btn);
    webView=(WebView)findViewById(R.id.document_id);
    userName=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.userNameTv);
    presentationName=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.presentation_name);
}

I got the error at 1st line of this method. I am changing the visibilities of views in Asyntask's onPreExecute and onPostExecute(). Please help what I did wrong here?
