findViewById gives out an error, I think it’s because it’s returning null. My app is forced to close.

SensorManager sensorManager=null;

TextView x= null;
TextView y= null;
TextView z= null;

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    sensorManager = (SensorManager) getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    x= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv1);
    y= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv2);
    z= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv3);
}

XML:

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/tv1"
    android:layout_x="10px"
    android:layout_y="550px"
    android:text="@string/x"
    />  
<TextView
    android:id="@+id/tv2"
    android:layout_x="100px"
    android:layout_y="550px"
    android:text="@string/y"
    />  
<TextView
    android:id="@+id/tv3"
    android:layout_x="200px"
    android:layout_y="550px"
    android:text="@string/z"
    />

Can someone please tell me what I’m doing wrong?

SOLVED!

I used the XML given by Sunny at the bottom! Thank you to all!

    yes above code working fine and xml file should be like this.

     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
     <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    >
     <TextView 
     android:id="@+id/tv1"
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"></TextView>
     <TextView 
      android:id="@+id/tv2"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"></TextView>
      <TextView>
     android:id="@+id/tv3"
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"></TextView>
     </LinearLayout>
