Thanks for reporting the issue. I'd like to try to build out the wiki with 
helpful information of this sort. This kind of information is useful.

When creating the file in eclipse Helios or later (maybe earlier versions too) 
you can do File...New...other...Android XML file... pick the resource type you 
want and and it will create the file in the proper subfolder.  The author 
specified the wrong resource type/folder in the text ( should have been Value 
and not Layout ).  The same options are available from right clicking on any of 
the folders too.

Same issue for the splash_text.xml on page 99 ( when creating the file you 
should pick the "Tween Animation" for resource type ) and it will create the 
/res/anim folder and put the file there regardless of what folder you clicked 
on.

This chapter doesn't tell you what to enter for the android manifest activity 
for the splash, but it does say you have to create one.

Maybe we could create an "errata" section on this wiki to list things like this?

I found both comments above very useful while strugling with the book and 
Eclipse
