Apps HELP! : HelloTabWidget Tutorial on Android Developers site FORCE CLOSE

Lurker
I am an Android developer amateur and I went to Android Developers site to learn more about Android development. I completed the previous tutorials and I am now in Tab Layout. When I got to run the program. It says FORCE CLOSE. I don't know where part of the program I did wrong. The tutorial site never gave in depth description of the code and there were missing blocks which I found out by surfing over the net. I know there are some who has the same problem as mine. I hope this will be solved soon for me to be able to proceed to the next chapter. Thank you in advance.

Here is my code :
src folder :
- com dot android dot HelloTabWidget
- comdotandroiddotHelloTabWidget/HelloTabWidgetActivitydotjava

Code:
package com.android.HelloTabWidget;

import android.app.TabActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.res.Resources;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.TabHost;

public class HelloTabWidgetActivity extends TabActivity  {

private String TAG="HelloTabWidget";

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.main);

  Resources res = getResources(); // Resource object to get Drawables
  TabHost tabHost = getTabHost();  // The activity TabHost
  TabHost.TabSpec spec;  // Resusable TabSpec for each tab
  Intent intent;  // Reusable Intent for each tab

  // Create an Intent to launch an Activity for the tab (to be reused)
  intent = new Intent().setClass(this,ArtistsActivity.class);
  Log.v(TAG,"---artist activity is called---");

  // Initialize a TabSpec for each tab and add it to the TabHost
  spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("artists").setIndicator("Artists",res.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_tab_artists)).setContent(intent);
  tabHost.addTab(spec);


  // Do the same for the other tabs
  intent = new Intent().setClass(this,AlbumsActivity.class);
  Log.v(TAG,"---album activity is called---");
  spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("albums").setIndicator("Albums",res.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_tab_albums)).setContent(intent);
  tabHost.addTab(spec);

  intent = new Intent().setClass(this, SongsActivity.class);
  Log.v(TAG,"---song activity is called---");
  spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("songs").setIndicator("Songs",res.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_tab_songs)).setContent(intent);
  tabHost.addTab(spec);

  }
