Well, the resource stuff isn't a "Java" thing, it's an Android thing. Basically if you put a layout xml file in res/layout, you reference it by filename when you call setContentView. For instance, if you have res/layout/my_fancy_layout.xml, you make a call to setContentView(R.layout.my_fancy_layout).
But, it sounds like you have a main.xml in that directory and using it correctly with setContentView. The layout xml looks valid for the m5 sdk. Are you using m5 or m3? Also, if you are using eclipse, it should tell you if theres a problem in the xml file itself when you open the file. That might give some insight.
