java - Android changing XML layout Changes data fields -

here's head scratcher...(at least me) have contact list displays list of contacts db. when user clicks on 1 of contacts edit activity comes up. works laid out currently, need have edit activity display last name entry before first name. thinking fields should have 1 one relationship, went ahead , moved edittext(xml) last name above first name in edit activity thinking should referenced id of edittext. after doing so, program displaying first name in last name field , vise-versa. have tried wiping user data on emulator no difference. realize 1 of uh-duh! type questions, if can point out obvious me, appreciated. code shown in now-working state:

i've removed chunks have nothing issue. having @ me! ken

xml:

     <edittext         android:id="@+id/contact_edit_first_name"         android:inputtype="textpersonname"         android:layout_width="fill_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_weight="1"         android:hint="@string/contact_edit_first_name"         android:imeoptions="actionnext"         android:background="@color/warn" >     </edittext>      <edittext         android:id="@+id/contact_edit_last_name"         android:inputtype="textpersonname"         android:layout_width="fill_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_weight="1"         android:gravity="top"         android:hint="@string/contact_edit_last_name"         android:imeoptions="actionnext"         android:background="@color/warn" >     </edittext> 

this contact activity displays listview rows, , calls createcontact sends intent add, edit or delete rows.

    public class contactsactivity extends listactivity implements     loadermanager.loadercallbacks<cursor> {    private simplecursoradapter adapter;   /** called when activity first created. */           @override   public void oncreate //do on create stuff -removed      filldata();     registerforcontextmenu(getlistview());      button add_contact = (button) findviewbyid(r.id.add_contact_button);      add_contact.setonclicklistener(new view.onclicklistener() {         public void onclick(view view) {             createcontact();         }       });    }    // create options menu insert xml file   // removed - not relevant   // return true menu displayed   }    // when insert menu item selected, call createcontact   //removed       createcontact();       return true;     }     return super.onoptionsitemselected(item);   }    private void createcontact() {         intent = new intent(this, contacteditactivity.class);         startactivity(i);       }     //the onlistitemclick sends uri flags contacteditactivity    //that edit rather new insert.     @override   protected void onresume() {    super.onresume();    //starts new or restarts existing loader in manager    getloadermanager().restartloader(0, null, this);   }     //the filldata method binds simplecursoraadapter listview.   private void filldata() {      //the desired columns bound:     string[] = new string[] { contactsdb.column_last_name, contactsdb.column_first_name };      //the xml views data bound to:     int[] = new int[] {r.id.label2, r.id.label};     // creation of loader using initloader method call.      getloadermanager().initloader(0, null, this);     adapter = new simplecursoradapter(this, r.layout.contact_row, null, from,         to, 0);     setlistadapter(adapter);   }   // sort names last name, first name   string orderby = contactsdb.column_last_name + " collate nocase asc"   + "," + contactsdb.column_first_name + " collate nocase asc" ;    // creates new loader after initloader () call   @override   public loader<cursor> oncreateloader(int id, bundle args) { //etc   }    @override   public void onloadfinished(loader<cursor> loader, cursor data) {     adapter.swapcursor(data); //call requires min api 11   }    @override   public void onloaderreset(loader<cursor> loader) {     // swap cursor adapter  }  

and finally, contact edit code source of grief...maybe not. save state doesn't map id's?

  @override   protected void oncreate(bundle bundle) {     super.oncreate(bundle);      setcontentview(r.layout.activity_contact_edit);      log.i(tag, "inside oncreate");      mcategory = (spinner) findviewbyid(r.id.category);     mlastname = (edittext) findviewbyid(r.id.contact_edit_last_name);     mfirstname = (edittext) findviewbyid(r.id.contact_edit_first_name);     mhomephone = (edittext) findviewbyid(r.id.contact_edit_home_phone);     mcellphone = (edittext) findviewbyid(r.id.contact_edit_cell_phone); //****************ect. etc.     //declare buttons , set delete enabled false - removed - not pertinant     bundle extras = getintent().getextras();      // check if uri new instance or saved record     }      // set save button check required fields, save contact , finish     savebutton.setonclicklistener(new view.onclicklistener() {       public void onclick(view view) {         if (textutils.isempty(mlastname.gettext().tostring()) ||                 textutils.isempty(mfirstname.gettext().tostring())) {           maketoast();         } else {           setresult(result_ok);           finish();         }       }     });      // set delete button delete contact , finish - removed - not pertinant    private void filldata(uri uri) {      // query parameter projection - list of columns return.     // passing null return columns, inefficient (but used now!)     // null, null , null are: selection, selection args, , sort order specific items      cursor cursor = getcontentresolver().query(uri, null, null, null, null);       if (cursor != null) {       cursor.movetofirst();       string category = cursor.getstring(cursor           .getcolumnindexorthrow(contactsdb.column_category));       (int = 0; < mcategory.getcount(); i++) {           string s = (string) mcategory.getitematposition(i);           log.i("category", s); ////////////////////////////////////////////         if (s.equalsignorecase(category)) {           mcategory.setselection(i);         }       };        mlastname.settext(cursor.getstring(cursor           .getcolumnindexorthrow(contactsdb.column_last_name)));       mfirstname.settext(cursor.getstring(cursor               .getcolumnindexorthrow(contactsdb.column_first_name)));       mhomephone.settext(cursor.getstring(cursor               .getcolumnindexorthrow(contactsdb.column_phone_number)));       mcellphone.settext(cursor.getstring(cursor               .getcolumnindexorthrow(contactsdb.column_cell_number)));       mworkphone.settext(cursor.getstring(cursor               .getcolumnindexorthrow(contactsdb.column_work_number)));       mfax.settext(cursor.getstring(cursor //****************ect. etc.         //close cursor     }   }    protected void onsaveinstancestate(bundle outstate) {     super.onsaveinstancestate(outstate);     savestate();     outstate.putparcelable(whatevercontentprovider.content_item_type, contacturi);   }    @override   protected void onpause() {     super.onpause();     savestate();   }   private void savestate() {     string category = (string) mcategory.getselecteditem();     string somelast = mlastname.gettext().tostring().valueof(findviewbyid(r.id.contact_edit_last_name));     string lastname = mlastname.gettext().tostring();     string firstname = mfirstname.gettext().tostring();     string somefirst = mfirstname.gettext().tostring().valueof(findviewbyid(r.id.contact_edit_first_name));     string homephone = mhomephone.gettext().tostring();     string somephone = mhomephone.gettext().tostring().valueof(findviewbyid(r.id.contact_edit_home_phone));     string cellphone = mcellphone.gettext().tostring();     string workphone = mworkphone.gettext().tostring(); //****************ect. etc.     //some logging used show first name field still came first     //after changing order of edittexts.     log.i("last name", lastname);     log.i("some last", somelast);     log.i("first name", firstname);     log.i("some first", somefirst);     log.i("home phone", homephone);     log.i("some phone", somephone);       // save if first name , last name entered     // program save last name when user presses button text in last name      if (lastname.length() == 0 || firstname.length() == 0) {       return;     }     // contentvalues class used store set of values contentresolver can process.     contentvalues values = new contentvalues();     values.put(contactsdb.column_category, category);     values.put(contactsdb.column_last_name, lastname);//annie     values.put(contactsdb.column_first_name, firstname);     values.put(contactsdb.column_phone_number, homephone);  //****************ect. etc.      if (contacturi == null) {       // create new contact       contacturi = getcontentresolver().insert(whatevercontentprovider.content_uri, values);     } else {       // update existing contact       getcontentresolver().update(contacturi, values, null, null);     }   } //make toast down here - removed - not pertinant } 

have tried cleaning project (regenerating de r). also, try restarting ide.

this may seem stupid can solve issue...
