Please help me get started!

Hi, I'm a newbie; trying to get started with a simple hello world program to run on the emulator. I see the emulator with "ANDROID", but no "Hello, Android" text on the screen. I'm using Window 7 Home Premium edition, Android SDK for windows, Android 4.0 platform, Java SE 7u2, Eclipse IDE for Java Developers.

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
TextView tv = new TextView(this);
tv.setText("Hello, Android");
setContentView(tv);
}

Please advise. Thanks.

Good walk through:

you haven't linked your Text view to the xml reference.

Textview tv = [TextView] findViewBy.Id(R.id.xmlidreference);

in other words, the java can't tell which textview you are trying to change so nothing is happening

I in fact used the hello example from your link. The code snippet from my last post does not work for me, but below works for me:

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}

Thanks for your reply.
