Hello,

I'm not sure if this is going to help you since I can't see the code to know if this is the problem you're having. Could you try searching your layout xml files and see if you have an id that is listed as just "@+id/". If you do could you change that to have an id name after the / and update your code to reference that new id?

If this doesn't help, could you please post your code and layout xml files so that we can assist you further.
