Unfortunately HelloAndroid app has stopped

Question

I have just started working on android apps using eclipse. I created the 'helloWorld' app which I tried to run on an emulator of my own created avd device.

Earlier it was showing 'unfortunately app has stopped', so I tried to resolve it by increasing the Launch Timeout time and it is now 10000 ms. But still it is not resolved. What should I do? Please help.

My xml file is :

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="match_parent"
     android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
     android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
     android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
     android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
     tools:context="course.examples.helloandroid.MainActivity" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/helloWorld"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

</RelativeLayout>

and My MainActivity.java file

MainActivity.java

and this my logcat file :

logCat file

and this is happening for any avd device instance that I am creating. Please help.

EDIT : my Manifest.xml file:

Manifest.xml

"You cannot combine swipe dismissal and the action bar"; are you aware of doing that? — ChiefTwoPencils, Aug 17 '14 at 10:35
@ChiefTwoPencils : No. Do you know how to overcome this problem? — POOJA GUPTA, Aug 17 '14 at 10:49

This happens sometimes in AVD devices...I would suggest connect a android phone and try with it. It gives you the correct output. Moreover you can also try to put ""hello-world" in android:text="hello world" in the xml file and remove the set method in java file. i hope it helps but do try with an android based device. i had the same problem and it was solved when I used a real device

Please show your manifest file also and do you have your appcompat runnning?? and moreover try to make your project clean and run again.. If nothing above works then i would suggest trying using real device... – Abhinav Pandey Aug 17 '14 at 11:18
