Handling Errors Using Dialogs - "Hello world!" instead of real message displayed

Here's the content from the strings.xml bellow. "error_title" and "error_message" should be used when displaying the message. I'm not sure why "Hello world!" appears instead, 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>

    <string name="error_title">Oops!Sorry!</string>
    <string name="error_message">There was an error getting data from the blog.</string>
    <string name="app_name">BlogReader</string>
    <string name="action_settings">Settings</string>
    <string name="no_items">No items to display!</string>




    <string-array name="android_names">
            <item>"Android beta"</item>
            <item>"Android 1.0"</item>
            <item>"Android 1.1"</item>
            <item>"Cupcake"</item>
            <item>"Donut"</item>
            <item>"Eclair"</item>
            <item>"Froyo"</item>
            <item>"Gingerbread"</item>
            <item>"Honeycomb"</item>
            <item>"Ice Cream Sandwich"</item>
            <item>"Jelly Bean"</item>
    </string-array>

Can you please post your java code? Thanks!

Thanks for your reply, it no longer reproduces. However, this is a general issue that I keep having. After I make a change to the code, then I run the application in the emulator, the recent changes don't apply. Using Force Start does not seem to have any effect. I close the emulator, sometimes close Eclipse, then start the application in the emulator a couple of times, and eventually the changes apply.

Is there something in the application/emulator cache that can cause this?
