AndEngine RenderSurfaceView NullPointerException

Question

I am getting a NullPointerException in my menu_layout.xml file. I am extending a LayoutGameActivity class in order to use EditText. Before posting here I already googled a lot but had no luck fixing it. I also updated ADT like some suggested but nothing.

menu_layout.xml error log:

java.lang.NullPointerException
Couldn't resolve resource @id/gameSurfaceView
Exception details are logged in Window > Show View > Error Log

    return options;

}

@Override
public Engine onCreateEngine(EngineOptions pEngineOptions) {
    // 60 FPS
    return new LimitedFPSEngine(pEngineOptions, 60);
}


@Override
public void onCreateResources(
        OnCreateResourcesCallback pOnCreateResourcesCallback)
        throws IOException {

    pOnCreateResourcesCallback.onCreateResourcesFinished();
}

@Override
public void onCreateScene(OnCreateSceneCallback pOnCreateSceneCallback)
        throws IOException {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    Scene sc = new Scene();

    pOnCreateSceneCallback.onCreateSceneFinished(sc);
}

@Override

        OnPopulateSceneCallback pOnPopulateSceneCallback)
        throws IOException {

}

This above code work perfectly in my device (testing Nexus 4), exception not throw — Divyang Metaliya, Jul 08 '14 at 08:59
i try in AndEngine GLES 2 AnchorCenter, its work :-) Can you try XMLLayoutExample in AndEngine GLES 2 AnchorCenter Example? — Divyang Metaliya, Jul 08 '14 at 11:11
yes it does work with RelativeLayout. It is just that on the xml graphical view the error is shown. — Danielius Ašmontas, Jul 09 '14 at 06:10
