Error in adding an edit text in eclipse

Question

I'm building an Android app for a tablet. I'm trying to add an EditText in my graphical view in Eclipse but whenever I choose EditText from the widget and drop to the graphical view, the screen turn gray and i get this error

" Exception raised during rendering: java.lang.System.arraycopy([CI[CII)V
Exception details are logged in Window > Show View > Error Log"

How to fix this problem?

Answer 1

In the new update come the 4.4W (Android Wear) and he doesnt support EditText, so the best and simple way to solve is deleting 4.4W.

Go to

Window > Android SDK Manager > check Android 4.4W(API 20) > Delete package

Maybe then you can't create a new project, so you back to SDK manager and download another version like 4.4.2(API 19).

It works for me, hope for you too.

Answer 2

Android W(atch) doesn't support Text Fields.

Lower the API level to <=19 and it should work.
