Android LinearLayout Null Exception

I created a id in XML for my LinearLayout but getting null pointer exception. I didn't understand what went as i not receiving any syntax error. Here is my java code private OnClic

Solution 1:

Obvious NullPointerException. Please check if your activity_credit_score_from.xml actually contains a layout with that id. If everything's correct, clean your project (Project => Clean). Eclipse is a terrible IDE and loves suffering developers.

Solution 2:

there is no @id in the activity_credit_score_from.xml

this is what i created in my IDs.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>

        <item
            name="newBtnLayoutList"
            type="id"/>
        <item
            name="newEntriesBtn"
            type="id"/>
    </resources>
