String s=et1.getText().toString();
if(s.matches("")){
    Toast t1= Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Empty", 2000);
    t1.show();
}
else{
    int l = Integer.parseInt(s);
    Toast t2= Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, s, 2000);
    t2.show();
    tv1.setText(l);
    Intent i1= new Intent(Loadscreen.this,Game01.class);
    i1.putExtra("l", l);
    startActivity(i1);
    Loadscreen.this.finish();
}

        android:id="@+id/editText1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="45dp"
        android:layout_x="0dp"
        android:layout_y="219dp"
        android:background="#00000000"
        android:ems="10"
        android:gravity="center_vertical"

Change to

int l = Integer.parseInt(s);
tv1.setText(String.valueOf(l));

setText takes CharacterSequence. However there is also a method that takes resourceid as a param. In your case setText took int. If android does not find the resource with the id mentioned you get ResourceNotFoundException

int l = Integer.parseInt(s); Toast t2= Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, s, 2000); t2.show(); tv1.setText(l); – Shubhankar Feb 28 '14 at 14:48
@Shubhankar no its not. – Raghunandan Feb 28 '14 at 14:48
This is correct. If you follow this poster's answer, you cannot possibly get the error you got in your stack trace. Right now it thinks your int is a resource ID, because it see's it as an integer. – NameSpace Feb 28 '14 at 14:52
