icommkt_email.xml

<layout version="0.1.0">
  <adminhtml_meteorify_observerexample_observerexample_index>
    <update handle="admin_index"/>
    <reference name="content">
      <block type="core/template" name="Meteorify_Observerexample" template="observerexample/index.phtml" />
    </reference>
  </adminhtml_meteorify_observerexample_observerexample_index>
</layout>

Here index.phtml is a simple Hello world, but i got only a blank page with no errors. So can anyone tell me what are the errors with Magento here?

Update 1

in the image below is how looks after try the method 2
Method 2

Best Answer

I think you have problem with your handler in icommkt_email.xml file.

Method 1:

You can print handler in your via your controller by print_r($this->getLayout()->getUpdate()->getHandles()) in array[3] you get handler just replace it with
adminhtml_meteorify_observerexample_observerexample_index and try again

method 2:

print core/template directly adding in your controller indexAction by adding below code

<?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('core/template')->setTemplate('observerexample/index.phtml')->toHtml() ?>
