title: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Unable to find resource ID #0xffffffff
body: <p>I hate posting code, and asking why it doesn't work, but I'm at a loss right now. I've tried to run the following class below, and I get an exception in logcat which I can't explain. Even a google search yields little results. Maybe I just don't understand the ecosystem, but the exception has little information. The exception I'm getting is below:</p>

  <p>I tried moving the ViewPager to the top level content (i.e. setContent( pager )) but that didn't seem to work. Any input is welcomed. The code is below:</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT*</strong> I Simplified the example, and I still get the same problem.</p>
  
  <pre><code>import android.os.Bundle;

  import android.support.v4.app.FragmentPagerAdapter;

  import android.widget.LinearLayout;
  import android.widget.TextView;
  
  public class AskQuestionActivity extends FragmentActivity
  {
      private static LayoutParams MATCH_PARENT = new LayoutParams( LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT );
  
      @Override
      protected void onCreate( Bundle savedInstanceState )
      {
          super.onCreate( savedInstanceState );
  
          ViewPager pager = new ViewPager( this );
          pager.setAdapter( new FragmentPagerAdapter( getSupportFragmentManager() )
          {
              @Override
              public int getCount()
              {
                  return 1;
              }
  
              @Override
              public Fragment getItem( int arg0 )
              {
                  return new BoardFragment();
              }
          } );
  
          setContentView( pager );
      }
  
      public static class BoardFragment extends Fragment
      {
          @Override

                                    ViewGroup container,

              textView.setText( "Board" );
              textView.setGravity( Gravity.CENTER );
  
              LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout( getActivity() );
              layout.setLayoutParams( MATCH_PARENT );
              layout.addView( textView );
  
              return layout;
          }
      }
  }
