This is one of my error in logcat. What is the error and how can i solve it.

sample code:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
        private int currentIntervalChoice = 0;

    @Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        setAppInfo();
        addButtonListeners();

Please post the xml layout file associated with this and the full logcat. My suggestion, altho this may not matter, is to stop using the ((Button)findViewById(R.id.logging_interval)) method of referring to your controls and just use a variable. I only say this because I have seen the error when android interprets this as an attempt to recast and freaks out
