"Couldn't find content container view" on pre-4.0 devices

[Luke Monahan]

I've just upgraded to ABS 4.02 (from the 3.x version) and everything
is working fine on my 4.03 device.

It's not working at all on my 2.2 and 3.x emulators, with the
following exception:

04-25 00:07:50.704: E/AndroidRuntime(408): Caused by:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Couldn't find content container view

04-25 00:07:50.704: E/AndroidRuntime(408): at
com.actionbarsherlock.app.SherlockFragmentActivity.setContentView(SherlockFragmentActivity.java:
309)

I can't figure out why it could be happening.

This occurs simply on inflating my main layout, with setContentView in
a SherlockFragmentActivity. The layout is shown below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android"
android:id="@+id/root"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<com.viewpagerindicator.TabPageIndicator
android:id="@+id/titles"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" />
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:id="@+id/pager"/>
</LinearLayout>

As you can see I'm using ViewPagerIndicator 2.2.3 also.

Thanks,

Luke.

Thank you!

Nevermind! At last I've sorted this out. I had a "raw" folder inside res which contained the db of the app. So I just removed the folder and the actionbar worked again. Now the problem is that I need the raw...

you could put it in assets folder.

[Andrea D'Alessandro]

Even there, it doesn't work!

Did you clean the project before exporting? Sounds like the R.java IDs are messed up.
