Why is it Displaying in emulator but not in actual tablet device

Hey I was wondering why it was displaying the titles only on the emulator but not on an actual device. I am not done with building a blog reader app yet but shouldn't I see it displaying the same stuff as I see it in the emulator?

Yes, by this time you should be seeing the titles on phone and tablet devices. One way that might help debug this issue is by putting in lots of logcat statements to see where any differences might be. And, you mention a physical tablet, and I'm assuming the emulator was a phone-sized device. When that's the only difference, then you may have to look at the layout XMLs if you changed anything from the default.
