<p>I want to include a resources xml file to my Android application project to hold some string values intended to have a specific purpose, named <code>categories_names.xml</code>, copying it into the <code>res/values</code> folder, but as soon as I try to run the application it exits throwing an <code>InflateException</code>. Strange thing is, this resources file is not even accessed from within the launcher activity. How is it possible? I report the backtrace below.</p> <pre><code>07-13 13:24:21.842: W/dalvikvm(27215): threadid=1: thread exiting with uncaught exception (group=0x40a71930) 07-13 13:24:21.872: E/AndroidRuntime(27215):

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
