SurfaceView Tutorial problems - nullpointerexception

Question

I found a tutorial and it looks like this:
package com.djrobotfreak.SVTest;
public class Tutorial2D extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
setContentView(new Panel(this));
}
class Panel extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback {
private TutorialThread _thread;
public Panel(Context context) {
super(context);
getHolder().addCallback(this);
_thread = new TutorialThread(getHolder(), this);
}
#Override
public void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
Bitmap _scratch = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.ic_launcher);
canvas.drawColor(Color.BLACK);
canvas.drawBitmap(_scratch, 10, 10, null);
}
#Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width, int height) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
#Override
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
_thread.setRunning(true);
_thread.start();
}
#Override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
// simply copied from sample application LunarLander:
// we have to tell thread to shut down & wait for it to finish, or else
// it might touch the Surface after we return and explode
boolean retry = true;
_thread.setRunning(false);
while (retry) {
try {
_thread.join();
retry = false;
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// we will try it again and again...
}
}
}
}
class TutorialThread extends Thread {
private SurfaceHolder _surfaceHolder;
private Panel _panel;
private boolean _run = false;
public TutorialThread(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder, Panel panel) {
_surfaceHolder = surfaceHolder;
_panel = panel;
}
public void setRunning(boolean run) {
_run = run;
}
#Override
public void run() {
Canvas c;
while (_run) {
c = null;
try {
c = _surfaceHolder.lockCanvas(null);
synchronized (_surfaceHolder) {
_panel.onDraw(c);
}
} finally {
// do this in a finally so that if an exception is thrown
// during the above, we don't leave the Surface in an
// inconsistent state
if (c != null) {
_surfaceHolder.unlockCanvasAndPost(c);
}
}
}
}
}
}
and it does not work, no matter what I do. I am trying to convert my code to surfaceview but I cant find any surfaceview programs that even work (besides the android-provided ones). Does anyone know what the error even is saying?
Here is my logcat info: http://shrib.com/oJB5Bxqs

If you get a ClassNotFoundException, you should check the Manifest file.
Click on the Application tab and look on the botton right side under "Attributes for".
If there is a red X mark under your Class Name, then click on the "Name" link and locate the correct class to load.
