Question

I’m new to Android development and I have this strange problem.. Depending on the order of my layout the app works perfectly or just crashes before it’s opened.

My java code:

package com.exmple.helloandroid;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Toast;
import android.view.View;

public class HelloAndroid extends Activity{
/** Called when the activity is first created. */

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

            // According to logcat. Below is the error line
    Button myButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
    myButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
                        Toast.makeText(HelloAndroid.this, "ImageButton clicked!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
    });
}
}

And the layout XML:

<?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" >

<Button
    android:id="@+id/button1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/text1" /> 

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/textView1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/text1" />
</LinearLayout>

And the string XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>

<string name="text1">This is the first text!</string>
<string name="text2">This is the second text!</string>
<string name="app_name">Hello, Android</string>

</resources>

Problem: If I move the textview above the button the program crashes. I can’t see why this happens.

So: Am I retarded or what’s the problem?
