I am modifying someone else’s code, and just trying to add a fourth checkbox to the following dialog:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<CheckBox
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/vinai_full"
android:checked="true"
android:id="@+id/cb_vinai"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<CheckBox
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/suttan_full"
android:checked="true"
android:id="@+id/cb_suttan"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<CheckBox
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/abhidum_full"
android:checked="true"
android:id="@+id/cb_abhidham"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<Button
android:text="@string/ok"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/okcatebtn"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
/>
</LinearLayout>
The fourth checkbox is:
<CheckBox
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/etc_full"
android:checked="true"
android:id="@+id/cb_etc"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
When I add it in, the apk compiles fine, but the program crashes on startup:
E/AndroidRuntime( 1470): FATAL EXCEPTION: main

This is even though the dialog is not loaded at startup. If I replace the third checkbox with the fourth one, there is no crash, so it seems like for some reason it is simply not accepting a fourth element. Why would that be?
EDIT: Here’s the code leading up to the error, but I don’t understand how it is related, since it refers to an element in a differing layout file:
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
main = View.inflate(this, R.layout.main, null);
setContentView(main);
searchHistoryDBAdapter = new SearchHistoryDBAdapter(SelectBookActivity.this);
searchResultsDBAdapter = new SearchResultsDBAdapter(SelectBookActivity.this);
bookmarkDBAdapter = new BookmarkDBAdapter(SelectBookActivity.this);
Context context = getApplicationContext();
prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);
MainTipitakaDBAdapter mainTipitakaDBAdapter = new MainTipitakaDBAdapter(this);
try {
mainTipitakaDBAdapter.open();
if(mainTipitakaDBAdapter.isOpened()) {
mainTipitakaDBAdapter.close();
} else {
startDownloader();
}
} catch (SQLiteException e) {
Log.e ("Tipitaka","error:", e);
startDownloader();
}
Resources res = getResources();
final String [] cnames = res.getStringArray(R.array.category);
textInfo = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text_info);
and here’s main.xml:

if text_info is in diffrent layout then use this
instead of
