Answer 1

t is not initialized anywhere. You have only initialize tbx and also there is a possibility that TextView belongs to PlaceholderFragment.

Edit:

Form your comment you say you have tbx.setText("H.H");

Likely the textview belongs to fragment and you should initialize textview in PlaceholderFragment

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false);
    TextView tbx = (TextView)rootView.findViewById(R.id.tbxName);
    tbx.setText("H.H");
    return rootView;
}

Edit 2:

You problem has nothing to do with ADT v22.6.2. You are probably getting NullPointerException

You reference wrong id .

<TextView 
android:id="@+id/tbx" 

Change this

 TextView tbx = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tbxName);

to

 TextView tbx = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tbx);

Answer 2

You have wrongly given the id of your TextView.

Just change your TextView id from R.id.tbxName to R.id.tbx as its given in your layout.

Instead of

TextView tbx = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tbxName);

Change it

  TextView tbx = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tbx);
