The new Activity templates in 1.4 split the layout into 2 files, activity_...xml and content_...xml. the activity_ file is more of a standard frame around the activity with the action/toolbar and action button with the content_ file being the content inside that frame which used to be the single activity_ layout. So when the videos have you edit the old style activity_x.xml file you should probably be editing the new content_x.xml file instead.
