I just downloaded Minecraft into my xbox for live play. There is a player who keeps showing up and destroying everything I build. How can I protect my structures from being destroyed by others?

1. Stay away from spawn.
2. Don't build with wood.
3. Go far, FAR away, changing direction multiple times. If you just go 5k blocks north to build, someone might decide to go that way for some reason and your base will be in plain sight.
4. Preferably after doing what was done above, make your base underground. Unless the players are x-Rayers, there's a rather low chance someone might find your base. Don't put it in a cave, however.
5. Despite what most people say, obsidian is not a great protection against griefers. You can use water to achieve the same effect of blast resistance. Otherwise, it just takes a while to mine obsidian.
In all honesty I would just put my house in the air but with the servers I go on people arn't stupid so I tried to camo my house so I can be hidden but that didn't work. It only works when I'm in a jungle. Try hiding your house in a jungle it might just work

There are no jungles yet on the xbox, but is a good idea none the less...

My First World, always getting back to is a pleasure I enjoy with each new update that brings in more things to add in.
Um, this is a silly question. You have multiple options to stop this. Check invite only, turn trust players off, play offline, get better friends, etc.
Sooo.... Build a few traps for him, then allow players in your world again. Wait then ambush him. I don't doubt a guy in full armor has a better chance.
And if hes persistant then just disable his ability to join your game after you beat him a few times.
I don't own an xbox so.

Well that's stupid.
Now the only thing that slabs are useful for is decoration.
On XBox, your games are not yet completely public... so defence #1 is to keep your XBox friends list to people you honestly feel you can trust. Defence #2 - Even when your XBox is connected to LIVE, you can uncheck the "Online Game" check box when you first load up the world, which will mean that only you or players who are playing locally on splitscreen mode with you will be able to join the game. If you do opt to have the game availabe to some friends who are not sitting in your living room with you, you can leave online game checked and the check "invite only" in which case, only friends you send an invite to will be able to join the game.
A further line of defense was just added in the 1.8.2 update. You can, uncheck trust players, which will prevent them from both mining and placing blocks. On this same menu, you can also limit the spread of fire and disable TNT within the entire world, so that those items can't do as much damage as quickly. With the trust players option unchecked, you can individually select players in the game to trust by using the left "arrow" button and selecting their specific gamertag for reactivation, so you can have some players in the game able to mine and place blocks and others not able to.
You can also spend a lot of time devising traps and ways to kill players in the game. Some people really enjoy that sort of thing. If you and your friends are all into that, then "taking it to each other full bore" is as good a way to play the game as any other. I only see problems arise when one or more of the players isn't all that into it and becomes an unwilling victim.
If you are NOT hosting the server, then you don't have the ability to kick others off, then...
1)Go a long distance from the spawn, if he/she can see you on the map, go underground, in a hill, somewhere where it's hard to get to you.
2)Build out of nonflammable materials and stuff that is pretty strong, even cobble!
3)Put a line of cacti by the entrance, they'll get very hurt coming in.
4)Get strong armor and weapons and defend yourself.
If this is creative mode, them I'd leave.
However, here's a link to some great defense things. You may want to size them down or add tweaks depending on your materials. Many things may be better for monsters, but you can do it for both.

There is also some stuff for multiplayer!
(if you don't trust unknown links, I understand, but I thought it would help)
If the link isn't working, just look up "things to do in your shelter" on google. It's on Minecraft Wiki, if you don't like that site, trust me this section of it is pretty legit.
Turn trust players to off, the downside to this is that you will need to give everyone in your map permission to build and mine, However the offending player will no longer be able to destroy anything.

I camo'ed one house of mine with vines. It is amongst some high grass and in a patch of trees. You really can't see it unless you actually look hard. If you are just running by you would miss it completely
Turn off trust players and only let true friends you trust build, turn your world on invite only, etc. Take advantage of what anti-griefing tools they have given us.

Kick the player when he shows up again.
The problem is simply solved.
