Use "edit" to add this information to your question in the appropirate format. — Sam

Simply cleaning the project worked for me, but I +1 this anyways.

<TextView android:id="@+id/t" ... /> 
<TextView android:id="@+id/des" ... />

EditText t=(EditText) findViewById(R.id.t);
EditText d=(EditText) findViewById(R.id.des);

Do you want TextViews or EditTexts?

Either change the XML to use EditTexts or the Java to use TextViews...

I could solve it by just cleaning the project with project/clean.

If there is a cleanup issue then it can throw any casting error.I got this:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: android.widget.EditText cannot be cast to android.widget.LinearLayout

In eclipse, Just go to Project > Clean & Select your project to clean it.

You use textview in xml, but in the activity you try to EditText t=(EditText) findViewById(R.id.t) - not correct; use TextView t=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.t);

or change in xml TextView to EditText
