Question

I’ve had a search for this problem but nothing seems to help me to solve this particular error I am getting.

I am writing my first Android app and am coming across a java.lang.RuntimeException whenever I call SetContentView on a new activity.

There is nothing in the logcat which helps (an activity idle timeout is all because it falters on the call).

My activity Login has a layout set during OnCreate which works fine, but any subsequent calls fall over. Here’s some code 😉

[Activity(Label = "Usage")]
public class Usage : TabActivity
{
    protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
    {
        base.OnCreate(bundle);

        //**FALLS OVER HERE**
        SetContentView(Resource.Layout.Usage);

The Resource.Designer.cs has a record of my layout:

// aapt resource value: 0x7f030002
public const int Usage = 2130903042;

…and when I reference that layout by it’s int value it falls back to the previous activity without hitting any breakpoints in the Usage activity.

Anyone got any thoughts or can point me in the direction of a similar post?

Legends!

UPDATE

I tried a whole stack of fixes I found on forums etc but nothing would fix this. I put the whole thing on the backburner while I worked on something else, came back to it and now it works…wish I could say what it was that made it work to help others out but I can’t explain it! COULD have been an update to a new version of MonoDroid?

Answer 1

As stated in my comment to Stuart’s answer, this problem appears to have resolved itself. I revisited the project all this time later and think that it might have just been a case of cleaning the project and rebuilding all. I have not had this problem since.

Sorry that this is not a detailed answer, I would suggest trying the ol’ clean and rebuild.
