When I changed my parent layout from linear to frame or relative it gives me error

Question

On my previous xml code my app was running correctly:

     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   android:orientation="vertical" >

    <RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="82dp" >

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editText1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/button1"
        android:ems="10" >

        <requestFocus />
    </EditText>

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:text="Send" />

          </RelativeLayout>

        <ListView
     android:id="@android:id/list"
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="380dp" />


     </LinearLayout>

Now when I changed my xml ,and now when I make relative layout or frame layout as a parent my app gives me error "unfortunately it is stopped", My new xml is:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="match_parent" >

      <RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="86dp"
    android:layout_gravity="bottom" >

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:text="Send" />

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editText1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/button1"
        android:ems="10" />

  </RelativeLayout>

  <ListView
    android:id="@+id/listView1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="372dp" >
  </ListView>

        </FrameLayout>

Have you read about frame layout first? Follow the link developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/FrameLayout.html I want to know your requirement to use the frame layout here? Post log trace as well. — Jatin Malwal

Change your ListView id, If you Extending ListActivity must specify the keyword android.

 <ListView
android:id="@android:id/list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="372dp" >
</ListView>
