Inconvertible types: cannot cast 'android.view.View' to 'android.widget.EditText'

Question

I'm new in android studio. I'm simply adding EditText in address activity.

I get this error:

Inconvertible types: cannot cast android.view.View to android.widget.EditText on (EditText) findViewById(R.id.xmlid);
