Hello Android Stops Unexpectedly

I have searched the internet for days and have found dozens of solutions none of which work. So I thought I'd post my situation:

I have installed eclipse and the 2.3.3 android SDK onto my laptop, put the code in for hello world (or hello android) and clicked run. The emulator starts but when the activity is run I get the message "SORRY! the application Hello Android (process com.example helloandroid) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"

package com.example.helloandroid;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class HelloAndroid extends Activity {
   /** Called when the activity is first created. */
   @Override
   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       TextView tv = new TextView(this);
       tv.setText("Hello, Android");
       setContentView(tv);
   }
}

and this is log cat

try moving your setContentView() method above your textview initialization

It seems to be something wrong with the way your emulator is set up. Did you follow this tutorial especially the "Setting up the AVD" part?

I would start the install of the emulator all over again. Also you could send him a copy of your program and if he can successfully run your project in the emulator then you know you just need to get your emulator set up correctly.
