<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">
    <LinearLayout

        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:paddingLeft="10dp"

            android:text="Some Text"
            android:layout_margin="5dp"
            android:textSize="22sp"
            />
        <View
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="1dp"
            android:background="@android:color/black"
            />
        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/edit_firstname"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:inputType="text"
            />
    </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

I have this XML Layout above, everything is working fine in 4.0.3, but when I apply it to 4.1, it produces this error below. When I removed EditText layout is fine.

Answer 1

Dont know the reason but placing android:inputType="textNoSuggestions" in EditText is working.

Answer 2

It's an issue right now It doesn’t come from ADT 20 but from the rendering library of Jelly Bean. So We need to wait for an update of JB to have a fix.

But as a workaround, we are able to solve this by disabling the SpellChecker.

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java.util.LinkedHashMap.eldest()Ljava/util/Map$Entry;
    at android.util.LruCache.trimToSize(LruCache.java:206)
    at android.util.LruCache.evictAll(LruCache.java:306)
    at android.widget.SpellChecker.resetSession(SpellChecker.java:141)
    at android.widget.SpellChecker.setLocale(SpellChecker.java:147)

So add android:inputType="textNoSuggestions" to your EditText and you will get this problem resolved.
