Delete one of the application sections from your manifest. Keep the one where the activity corresponds to the name of your class.

make your manifest look exactly like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="lewes.android.hello"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="15" />

<application
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name" >
<activity
android:name=".HelloAndroid"
android:label="@string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

    <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>

</manifest>

SDK does not mention about this. But as my experience, activity (this) can not be used inside onCreate(Bundle) to initialize new objects. To be used as a parameter for constructors, this is nothing within onCreate().

You can follow this hello world. It uses static xml layout.

Hope this helps you :-)

Change

 <activity
        android:name=".HelloAndroidActivity"

to

<activity
        android:name=".HelloAndroid"
