Solution

  • You get a ClassCastException at this line:

    txtMessage = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.invite_text);
    

    That means the View object with the id R.id.invite_text is not EditText. However this is not true since invite_text is indeed of type EditText.

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/invite_text"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            ...
            " />
    

    So I think your resource file is not up to date. The code looks all right. Delete your gen folder and run it again. Your resource file should be recreated when you delete gen folder.
