I have figured out the solution. It is slightly twisted.... Below is the solution...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:id="@+id/simple_activity_root" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:scrollbars="vertical" > <TextView android:id="@+id/simple_activity_textview" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Simple Activity Started" /> </LinearLayout> Java Code: LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)this.getSystemService (Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE); View inflatedView = inflater.inflate (R.layout.simple_activity,l,true); LinearLayout ly = (LinearLayout) inflatedView.findViewById (R.id.simple_activity_root); TextView tv = (TextView)inflatedView.findViewById (R.id.simple_activity_textview); ly.removeView(ly.findViewById(R.id.simple_activity_textview)); setContentView(tv); So basically I had to inflate the layout. Pick out the linear layout. Then pick the textview. Then remove the textview from the LinearLayout. Then the textview can be set as a content view... huff...
