that's some crazy code, but basically your trying to cast an EditText to a Spinner. So either you are looking up the wrong view with findViewById or you're stir crazy — Blundell Nov 20 at 19:54

Nothing can describe OP's situation better than this comment

> findViewById(8083+phoneNumbersIdStarter);

omg.

user259867

I admire the patience of users faced with a block of code of this size and willing to read and comment...

Infinite Recursion

> The part "you're stir crazy" is non-constructive and too chatty bordering on rude. Please edit it out.

@InfiniteRecursion I'm single. Me and hats go well together.

cVplZ

uh lala! A hat question!

Q: What is a "hat"?

What exactly is a hat? I have seen a lot of people arguing the significance of hats and the limited edition hats. I know the hats are sort of linked to the Winterbash stuff, but what EXACTLY is a hat, what does it do, how do I get one, and possibly, a full list of hats?
