Question

It doesnt work if I add the prebuilt calender, digital clock and analog clock that comes with the androids development environment…

        <DigitalClock android:layout_alignParentRight="true" 
    android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:text="DigitalClock"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/digitalClock1"></DigitalClock>

    <AnalogClock android:id="@+id/analogClock1" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"
     android:layout_alignParentTop="true"></AnalogClock>

    <CalendarView 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
     android:id="@+id/calendarView1" 
     android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/analogClock1"
     android:layout_below="@+id/digitalClock1"
     android:layout_alignParentRight="true"></CalendarView> 

Why..

ps.I tested without that chunk of code..the application runs perfectly

Answer 1

If you look carefully at the CalendarView documentation, you’ll find this:

Since: API Level 11

Which means it was introduced in Android 3.0 Honeycomb (which is not currently available for phones). Thus, if you were testing on a phone (or a pre-3.0 emulator), you’ll get a ClassNotFoundException (I think), telling you it can’t find CalendarView.

The reason why Eclipse is not telling you about this is probably that you have set the target SDK for your project to 11 or higher.
