Try restarting your emulator. If that doesn't work, try a new emulator. You should also check out the videos about Genymotion under the Android Tools project. Genymotion is a 3rd party emulator that works much better than the stock AVD emulators.

I tried Genymotion for emulator and run the Theme Holo.black.noTitleBar.Fullscreen. still get the same result. I check the logCat and it shows that I need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme with this activity. The problem is that how can I use other themes?

BTW, genymotion emulator is way faster than the stock AVD!

Hey just wanted to let you know I got mine to start working. You will either need to download the project files, or do the workaround in the description under the video. I did the work around and it works perfectly now!
