The code par is;

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.layout_splash_screen);

        tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.LoadingBarTextView);
    loadTextID = 1;


splashTextHandler = new Handler() {
        public void handleMessage(Message msg2) {
            if (loadTextID == 1) {
                tv.setText("Loading..");
                loadTextID = 2;
            } else if (loadTextID == 2) {
                tv.setText("Loading...");
                loadTextID = 3;
            } else {
                tv.setText("Loading.");
                loadTextID = 1;
            }
        }
    };
Thread splashTread = new Thread() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            try {
                int waited = 0;
                while (isActive && (waited < splashTime1)) {
                    sleep(500);
                    if (isActive) {
                        waited += 500;
                        splashTextHandler.sendMessage(splashTextHandler
                                .obtainMessage());
                    }
                }

            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                // do nothing
            } finally {
                /*
                finish();
                Intent i = new Intent();
                i.setClassName("com.activities",
                        "com.activities.DashboardActivity");
                startActivity(i);
                */
            }
        }
    };
    splashTread.start();

What is the problem ?

There must be an xml tag in your manifest file which may not have specific name="attribute" . Try to check if you are using such a tag but not defining a crucial name/attribute, possibly the parent attribute.

Answer 2

I think ur using 9 patch drawable . if so then try with normal images for <= 2.1V

From ur logcat:

Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource is not a Drawable (color or path): TypedValue{t=0x1/d=0x7f020016 a=-1 r=0x7f020016}

Answer 3

It would be more clear if you post your xml file, but I think you are trying to use a non-drawable resource as a drawable item. for example this: view.setBackground(R.id.something)
