Android Emulator still showing Hello World

Question

So I've set up my Eclipse to have the Android SDK and ADT plugin.

I set up my AVD to have a Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S2 emulator.

I've created a new Android project and I get my blank MainActivity which simply displays "Hello World!" which is the problem.

In the Graphical Layout, I delete the "Hello World!" text to remove it. I check in the activity_main.xml and the script containing the "Hello World!" text is no longer there. I run in either emulator and everything works, but when the app opens, "Hello World!" is still there.

Here's the xml now

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="com.example.project.MainActivity"
tools:ignore="MergeRootFrame" />

I've changed nothing except removing that text. The MainActivity.java has not been touched. Is there something I'm missing?

This was a little bit odd when it happened to me, just remove the Hello World Text View from the fragment.xml file and it should be fine.

that xml code is just for layout when you add smthg on layout this code will be bigger,example

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >
 <Button
        android:id="@+id/bb"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/editText1"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_marginBottom="72dp"
        android:text="git" />

thats have only a button your code has nothing only layout

Yes, I'm aware. I'm saying I intentionally am trying to take out the "Hello World" text and that xml is the result of what I have left, but "Hello World" is still being displayed. — Johnzo, Apr 16 '14 at 21:25
