Question

If I get the error “android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x7f050007 type #0x12 is not valid” can I find some what this resource is if I know its ID?

        ListView list = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.messages_list_view);
        list.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(context,
        R.layout.messages_list, headers));

messages_list.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/messages_list_layout"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <ListView android:id="@+id/messages_list_view"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>

You can either use the search function in eclipse, search for "0x7f050007" or go to projectfolder/gen/path/R.java that contains your resources.

You’ll find something like this:

public static final int lineItem=0x7f07001c;

Then search for(in this example) lineItem with Eclipses search function. It’ll take you to your resource in code.
