I recently started working with Eclipse to build Android Applications. I have made a small Hello_World kind of application with a small table in it. The XML code is provided below…

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    android:layout_height="fill_parent"

        </TableRow>
    </TableLayout>




</LinearLayout>

Here is the Java code for the Hello_World app…

package com.example.helloandroid2;

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

public class HelloAndroid2Activity extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        TextView tv = new TextView(this);
        tv.setText("Hello, Android");
        setContentView(tv);

    }
}

However, when I try to run my app, it shows the following error… Can anyone please help me figure out where I am making an error?

#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
#  Internal Error (classFileParser.cpp:3470), pid=5220, tid=2000

EDIT

This is what it says in the .log file (Sorry I couldnt identify the main points in the file, so I posted the whole of it instead)

You are using Java7. I doubt that the Android app build works with it yet. Downgrade to Java 6 and try that as a first step.
