Question

The layout editor is giving me StackOverflowErrors which ask me to exit eclipse everytime I load a layout XML.

this is clearly a bug, but does anyone know a workaround so I know what not to do? Unfortunately it’s happening regardless of what layout I open.

I’m using Indigo with ADT v18

There’s an issue report here
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24317

It appears to be an issue with resource referencing. No solution found so far but this reminds me that the problem happens after I changed the theme of the app. So I changed it back and it’s allright now.
