My app force closes every time I mess with the Relative Layout's positioning now and then. I have to arbitrarily keep re-positioning them for the app to work again. Or position them all at the topmost left corner and then re arrange them.
I'm using Eclipse.
Why does this happen? Is there a way I can avoid this?

[EDIT]
I edited the layout randomly and finally got it to work. I then added a progress bar and voila! Force close errors again. Here's the log.
