As you no doubt knew I would, I figured out that the text I saw is the default "sample" text produced by the SDK for a new project. I had failed to change "setContentView(R.layout.main);" to "setContentView(tv);" when entering the sample application, and so I got this default text rather than the text in my TextView.
On the bright side, it sent me looking for what "R" is, and I learned quite a bit about the structure of an Android app as a result.
