Unexplainable ClassCastException in android.widget.ProgressBar.onRestoreInstanceState

Question

I\'ve had my application out in the store for a while, but it seems it crashes occasionally according to the crash reports in the Developer Console, saying: java.lang.

Answer 1

I needed to use different layouts with same Id. So, the work around is

@Override
protected void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    try {
        super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
    } catch (Exception ignored) {
    }
}

This will save your application from crashing.

super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState) may be executed only till the point exception occurs. However, I don't find it useful, at least in my apps, so I can afford to bypass onRestoreInstanceState.
