Sounds odd. I have the same setup (map activity that is launched from a primary activity, each with their own layout) and have never seen anything like that.
I would double check your layouts and make sure that you are, in fact, setting the correct layout for the correct activity. From the error you mentioned it would appear that you have a mapview element in the main layout file or that you're loading the mapview layout by mistake in the main activity. Otherwise maybe post some code and your layouts? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking On Thu, Dec 3, 2009 at 3:13 PM, jotobjects <jotobje...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am getting an error creating a MapView with a layout file.
