I think there is a problem with your XML file, where you are using the match_parent value for an attribute. Post the XML file so that people at SO can help you. — Vamsi Challa, Sep 03 '13 at 06:29

I know it's kind of late, but in case other people have problems with that.

I think the real reason why it happens is that you've hidden Title Bar. When you click text multiple times, it will open up an ActionBar , which it can't inflate since you've hidden the title.

Take a look at this: Enable/Disable ActionBar Menu Item

Here is how action bar looks on android

android:layout_width="fill_parent" fill_parant is deprecated in new version of API so in place of fill_parant use match_parant..
