This problem mostly occurs due to the error in setText   method  Solution is simple put your Integer value by converting into string type as   textview setText Integer toString integer value

Just wanted to point out another reason this error can be thrown is if you defined a string resource for one translation of your app but did not provide a default string resource     Example of the Issue   As you can see below  I had a string resource for a Spanish string  get started   It can still be referenced in code  but if the phone is not in Spanish it will have no resource to load and crash when calling getString      values-es strings xml   lt string name  get started  gt SIGUIENTE lt  string gt    Reference to resource  textView setText getString R string get started    Logcat   06-11 11 46 37 835    7007-7007   E AndroidRuntime  FATAL EXCEPTION  main Process  com app test PID  7007 android content res Resources NotFoundException  String resource ID  0x7f0700fd         at android content res Resources getText Resources java 299          at android content res Resources getString Resources java 385          at com juvomobileinc tigousa ui signin SignInFragment 4 onClick SignInFragment java 188          at android view View performClick View java 4780          at android view View PerformClick run View java 19866          at android os Handler handleCallback Handler java 739          at android os Handler dispatchMessage Handler java 95          at android os Looper loop Looper java 135          at android app ActivityThread main ActivityThread java 5254          at java lang reflect Method invoke Native Method          at java lang reflect Method invoke Method java 372          at com android internal os ZygoteInit MethodAndArgsCaller run ZygoteInit java 903          at com android internal os ZygoteInit main ZygoteInit java 698    Solution to the Issue  Preventing this is quite simple  just make sure that you always have a default string resource in values strings xml so that if the phone is in another language it will always have a resource to fall back to    values strings xml   lt string name  get started  gt Get Started lt  string gt    values-en strings xml   lt string name  get started  gt Get Started lt  string gt    values-es strings xml   lt string name  get started  gt Siguiente lt  string gt    values-de strings xml   lt string name  get started  gt Ioslegen lt  string gt

Another scenario that can cause this exception is with DataBinding  that is when you use something like this in your layout   lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt layout xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android  gt        lt data gt            lt variable             name  model              type  point to your model   gt       lt  data gt       lt TextView         android layout width  match parent          android layout height  match parent          android text    model someIntegerVariable    gt    lt  layout gt    Notice that the variable I m using is an Integer and I m assigning it to the text field of the TextView  Since the TextView already has a method with signature of setText int  it will use this method instead of using the setText String  and cast the value  Thus the TextView thinks of your input number as a resource value which obviously is not valid    Solution is to cast your int value to string like this  android text    String valueOf model someIntegerVariable

Using DataBinding and setting background to the edittext with resources from the drawable folder causes the exception    lt EditText                             android background   drawable rectangle                              android imeOptions  flagNoExtractUi                              android layout width  match parent                              android layout height  45dp                              android hint  Enter Your Name                              android gravity  center                              android textColorHint   color hintColor                              android singleLine  true                              android id    id etName                              android inputType  textCapWords                              android text     viewModel model name                               android fontFamily   font avenir roman   gt    Solution  I just change the background from   android background   drawable rectangle  to  android background   null   Clean and Rebuild the Project

Just assumption  less info of Exception stacktrace   I think   this line  incercari setText valIncercari   throws Exception  because valIncercari is int  So it should be   incercari setText valIncercari        Or  incercari setText Integer toString valIncercari

Sometime this happened due to not fond any source like if i want to set a text into a textview from adapter then i should use    textView setText    name     If you write something like    textView setText name     this will not work and sometime we don t find the resource from the string xml file then this type of error occur

You are assigning a numeric value to a text field  You have to convert the numeric value to a string with   String valueOf variable
