ClassCast Exception in activity

Question

i am facing some problems in creating an enquiry form in my android app. The logcat is showing ClassCast error. I am a beginner in android so I don't know how to deal with it. The error is on line 50.

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_enquire);
        et_citylist = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.enquire_edit_city);
        et_name = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.enquire_edit_name);
        et_adult = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.enquire_edit_adult);
        et_child = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.enquire_edit_child);
        et_mail = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.enquire_edit_email);
        et_phone = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.enquire_edit_phone);
        et_datearrive = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.enquire_edit_datearrival);
         //LINE 50 -
        et_datedepart = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.enquire_edit_datedeparture);

        btn = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnemail);
        btn.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        btn.setOnClickListener(this);
        to = "divyangbhambhani@gmail.com";
        subject = "Tour Package Details Summary";
        msg = "";
        chk = (CheckBox)findViewById(R.id.chkenquire);
        chk.setOnCheckedChangeListener(this);

        //setting calender for datepicker
        Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
        year = c.get(Calendar.YEAR);
        month = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);
        day = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
        year1 = c.get(Calendar.YEAR);
        month1 = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);
        day1 = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);

        //get Intents

        Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
            if(extras!=null)
            {
              getChecked = extras.getStringArrayList("list1");
              getname = extras.getString("name");
              getadult = extras.getString("adults");
              getchild = extras.getString("child");
              getmail = extras.getString("email");
              getphone = extras.getString("phone");
              getdatedept = extras.getString("datedept");
              getdatearr = extras.getString("datearr");
              stringbuilder = new StringBuilder();
              for(String value:getChecked){
                  stringbuilder.append(value).append(" ");
              }
           }
        //adding citylist to edittext   
            et_citylist.setText(stringbuilder);
            et_name.setText(getname);
            et_adult.setText(getadult);
            et_child.setText(getchild);
            et_mail.setText(getmail);
            et_phone.setText(getmail);
            et_datearrive.setText(getdatearr);
            et_datedepart.setText(getdatedept);

    }

if enquire_edit_datedeparture is a EditText, try to clean and rebuild your project — Blackbelt, Jul 17 '13 at 07:19

This exception is coming when you give the id of TextView and cast it on EditText view.

Just check all your id are correct one and type of this id are EditText view .

et_datedepart = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.enquire_edit_datedeparture);

May be "R.id.enquire_edit_datedeparture" is a id of TextView & that is way it gives class cast exception.

et_datedperart will be a EditText right?

Can you please check the "R.id.enquire_edit_datedeparture" is the id of EditText and not TextView id? – Megha Jul 17 '13 at 07:43
Clean you project, sometimes the ids are getting messed up. – Alex Jul 17 '13 at 07:45

Check your activity_enquire.xml.

You are trying to assign the ID of TextView to EditText and that's why you are getting ClassCastException.
