Question

When I try to debug my app I get a runtimeexception when I include this xml in my layout. I cannot see what is wrong with it, can you?
I am using android eclipse plugin, eclipse 3.5.2, with the latest android plugin and the latest java 6…21 on winxppro 32 bit sp3
Thank you.

<ImageButton android:id="@+id/map_button"
  android:src="@drawable/bot_map"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:layout_weight="1"
  />

<ImageButton android:id="@+id/filter_button"
  android:src="@drawable/bot_filter"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:layout_weight="1"
  />

<ImageButton android:id="@+id/sort_button"
  android:src="@drawable/bot_sort"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:layout_weight="1"
  />

<ImageButton android:id="@+id/prev_button"
  android:src="@drawable/bot_arrow_prev"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:layout_weight="1"
  />


<ImageButton android:id="@+id/next_button"
  android:src="@drawable/bot_arrow_next"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:layout_weight="1"
  />

I also get these exceptions at the same time:
