Hi I’m trying to make my app backwards compatible using holoeverywhere. In my app I have a tab activity and 3 holoeverywhere activitys. When I run my app on a 2.3.3 emulator it runs and my first tab is shown but if I switch to my second or third tab it closes unexpectedly. The error occurs in my second or third tab on my setContentView line. The error isn’t caused by switching tabs because if I have the app start on the second tab by default I still get the same error. If I run my app on a 4.1.2 device then it works just fine though.

Here is my logcat

?android:attr/android:dividerVertical

What is it?

?dividerVertical

And it: style="@style/Holo.Button.Borderless"
Right: style="?borderlessButtonStyle"

And it: <org.holoeverywhere.widget.TextView />
<TextView /> Didn’t work?
