android - Custom widget cannot be cast to custom widget -

i created custom widget extending edittext looks edittext acts little different, code, although don't think content of class problem:

public class salutationedittextlikebutton extends edittext {      charsequence[] options;     string selection;     context context;      long performclickcatch = 0;      public void dontperformclickformilliseconds(long milliseconds) {         performclickcatch = system.currenttimemillis() + milliseconds;     }      public salutationedittextlikebutton(context context) {         super(context);         this.context = context;         disableinput();     }      public salutationedittextlikebutton(context context, attributeset attributeset) {         super(context, attributeset);         this.context = context;         disableinput();      }      public salutationedittextlikebutton(context context, attributeset attrs, int defstyle) {         super(context, attrs, defstyle);         this.context = context;         disableinput();     }      private void disableinput() {         this.setcursorvisible(false);         setkeylistener(null);     }      public string getselection() {         return selection;     }      public void setselection(string selection) {         this.selection = selection;         this.sethint("");         this.settext(selection);         this.clearcomposingtext();      }      public void setoptions(charsequence[] options) {         this.options = options;     }      @override     public parcelable onsaveinstancestate() {         log.d("butx", "save");          return super.onsaveinstancestate();      }      @override     public boolean performclick() {          if (system.currenttimemillis() < performclickcatch) {             return true;         }          alertdialog.builder builder = new alertdialog.builder(context);         builder.settitle(getresources().getstring(r.string.anrede));          builder.setitems(options, new dialoginterface.onclicklistener() {             @override             public void onclick(dialoginterface dialog, int which) {                  setselection(options[which].tostring());                 seterror(null);                 dialog.dismiss();              }         });          alertdialog alertdialog = builder.create();         alertdialog.show();          this.clearcomposingtext();          return true;      } } 

i use class this:

final salutationedittextlikebutton salutationedittextlikebutton         = (salutationedittextlikebutton) layoutinflater.from(context).inflate(r.layout.single_salutationbutton_w_style, null); 

with xml layout being:

<xy.salutationedittextlikebutton     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     style="@style/edittextstyle"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"/> 

at line

final salutationedittextlikebutton salutationedittextlikebutton         = (salutationedittextlikebutton) layoutinflater.from(context).inflate(r.layout.single_salutationbutton_w_style, null); 

i rare exception report on crittercism following exception:

    caused by: java.lang.classcastexception:  xy.salutationedittextlikebutton cannot cast xy.salutationedittextlikebutton 

which seems odd me. had same exception other custom widgets.

this 1 occurs on samsung's galaxy s5 (sm-g900f).

any ideas on means , how fix it?

first try give id ur custom view :

<xy.salutationedittextlikebutton     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:id="@+id/salutationedittextlikebutton"     style="@style/edittextstyle"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"/> 

now inflate xml :

final view view = layoutinflater.from(context).inflate(r.layout.single_salutationbutton_w_style, null); 

cast ur custom view layout inflator reference using custom view xml id :

final salutationedittextlikebutton salutationedittextlikebutton = (salutationedittextlikebutton) view.findviewbyid(r.id.salutationedittextlikebutton);
