XML:

<LinearLayout 
    android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"> 

    <TextView 
        android:id="@+id/t" 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:text="" 
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />

The error is simple, but please post your relevant Java code, XML code, and all of the LogCat errors so we can where it is happening. — Sam, Dec 02 '12 at 22:30

<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
