http://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-simple-android-app/pretty-little-things/adding-an-image-2
Scroll to the teachers notes and you'll see that there are known issues about this, follow the directions, don't worry about downloading the files just do the directions and that should resolve the issue.
Also there's a related forum post to this which is

You'll see that I've posted the logcat and the issues that I was having with this and hopefully you'll be able to find a fix!
I wish you in the best of luck!

1,388 Pointsthats going to be on the bottom left hand side of your screen, double click that, then once you have that pulled up, look in the manifest.xml on the bottom where it shows applictaions, permissions, ect ect then androidmanifest.xml
