Error in adding an edit text in eclipse

Question

I'm building an Android app for a tablet. I'm trying to add an EditText in my graphical view in Eclipse but whenever I choose EditText from the widget and drop to the graphical view, the screen turn gray and i get this error

" Exception raised during rendering: java.lang.System.arraycopy([CI[CII)V
Exception details are logged in Window > Show View > Error Log"

How to fix this problem?

use android studio for better drag and drop option . Best way for eclipse is to create it with xml. — Simmant, Jul 06 '14 at 04:16

In the new update come the 4.4W (Android Wear) and he doesnt support EditText, so the best and simple way to solve is deleting 4.4W.

Go to

Window > Android SDK Manager > check Android 4.4W(API 20) > Delete package

Maybe then you can't create a new project, so you back to SDK manager and download another version like 4.4.2(API 19).

It works for me, hope for you too.

No need to delete the API 20 package. this problem happened on API 20 ( Android 4.4 W ) I recently have a problem with that but Problem will be solved by changing Android version to use for rendering level form API 20 ( Android 4.4 W ) to API 19 (Android 4.4.2) ( android icon in top right corner of graphical layout ) or update your SDK to Android L ( API 20 L preview ) Reference: Exception raised during rendering: java.lang.System.arraycopy – androidExplorer Sep 25 '14 at 06:09

Android W(atch) doesn't support Text Fields.

Lower the API level to <=19 and it should work.
