ResourceNotFound Exception - resources

Question

I am getting this ResourceNotFound Exception even though my code runs fine and exits onCreate.
public class MessageSelectionListActivity extends FragmentActivity implements LoaderManager.LoaderCallbacks<Cursor>{
SimpleCursorAdapter mAdapter;
ListView mListView;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_message_selection_list);
// Show the Up button in the action bar.
setupActionBar();
//My code
//Create a temporary loading bar while the Uri loads
ProgressBar progressBar = new ProgressBar(this);
progressBar.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
progressBar.setIndeterminate(true);
mListView = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.smsListView);
mListView.setEmptyView(progressBar);
ViewGroup root = (ViewGroup)findViewById(android.R.id.content);
root.addView(progressBar);
//List item population mechanism
Cursor cursorSms = getContentResolver().query(Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox"), null, null, null, null);
String[] fromColumns = {cursorSms.getColumnName(2), cursorSms.getColumnName(11)};
int[] toViews = {R.id.item_title, R.id.item_body};
this.mAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.id.smsListView, cursorSms, fromColumns, toViews, 0);
this.mListView.setAdapter(this.mAdapter);
getSupportLoaderManager().initLoader(0, null, this);
}

I am using code from a lot of different sources and stringing things together, so I know I am doing something wrong, but I cant seem to find it.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE:
The Resource file for the Activity is as follows:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context=".MessageSelectionListActivity" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/smsPageTitle"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/sms_page_title"
android:textSize="20sp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/smsPageInstructions"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignLeft="#+id/smsPageTitle"
android:layout_below="#+id/smsPageTitle"
android:text="#string/sms_page_instructions"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:textSize="15sp" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/makeExcelFileButton"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignLeft="#+id/smsPageInstructions"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignRight="#+id/smsPageInstructions"
android:text="#string/make_excel_file" />
<ListView
android:id="#+id/smsListView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_above="#+id/makeExcelFileButton"
android:layout_alignLeft="#+id/makeExcelFileButton"
android:layout_below="#+id/smsPageInstructions" />
And for the row layout is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight"
android:padding="6dip" >
<CheckBox
android:id="#+id/item_check_box"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/item_title"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="26dip"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/item_check_box"
android:singleLine="true" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/item_body"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/item_check_box"
android:layout_below="#id/item_title" />
</RelativeLayout>

Answer 1

So I was able to fix the problem.
here is how. The first message in the trace gave me the clue.
04-08 13:06:49.699: E/AndroidRuntime(2616): FATAL EXCEPTION: main 04-08 13:06:49.699: E/AndroidRuntime(2616): android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x7f090006 type #0x12 is not valid
The the resource with ID 0x7f090006 is invalid. so when I traced it back to the code, I had used the Resource ID instead of the resource name (R.layout.XXXXXX). changing it to that resolved the issue.
