Running the Android emulator - android

I am trying to run the emulator and each time I tried it it gives me the same error message 'Application stopped unexpectedly' I tried sorting it by killing the adb process in the task manager. The log cat error says:
WARNING: Application does not specify an API level requirement!
Device API version is 7 (Android 2.1-update1)
I do not know how this could be sorted, or if there is any other issue.
Please help, thanks!

I guess the solution for your problem is:
In your manifest there should be something like this
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="int" />
Now just change the number to the desired version number. Additionally you should also change the value of the target in the default.properties file.
AdnroidManifest.xml looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.jaxx.progressbarexample"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<application android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
**<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="9" />**
</manifest>

One more thing to remind,you specify the min sdk version in your AndroidManifest.xml file similar to what your emulator target sdk version which you specify while creating your AVD.or create a new AVD with a target sdk of your application

APK not running on real device - Manifest error?

I am new on app's code. My project runs perfectly on emulators. However the apk is not running in my samsung device. Checking it with the Android Studio Analyzer the line xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" in the manifest.xml returns in red. It seems that something is wrong with my project Manifest. Any Help? My manifest is copied below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0"
package="com.ferleecidade.a100dia11">

Help? Yes.
I am actively looking into this right now.
I don't believe your manifest is causing this or at least isn't the sole cause.
I have a project that I can run on my devices and emulators and deploy without a glitch.
I also get an error on the same line you do when analyzing the APK (Build/.Analyze APK).
If you hover your cursor over the red text you will see your error popup.
Mine says "URI is not registered (Settings | Languages and Frameworks | Schemes and DTDs)"
I performed a quick experiment.
created a brand new project in Android Studio with a single activity.
Cleaned the project.
Ran in an emulator.
Generated a signed APK.
Analyzed the APK and the error is there.
I suggest you try this.
This leads me to believe one of two things.
There is something wrong with my default project settings.
The error is being incorrectly reported by Android studio.
I hope this was useful.

Installed test APK does not appear on device's main screen

I installed an instrumentation test APK from Eclipse(Run->Run As Android application) on device as the log shows below.
[2013-08-08 22:14:13 - SettingsTests] /SettingsTests/bin/SettingsTests.apk installed on device
However, on the home screen of the device, somehow the test APK does not show. In Settings->Application Manager, the list shows the test apk correctly.
Any idea what's going on?
The android system info shows:
Source:/data/app/PACKAGE.test.test-1.apk
data:/data/app/PACKAGE.test.test
Here's the test apk's manifest.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="PACKAGE.test.test"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="17" />
<instrumentation
android:name="android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner"
android:targetPackage="my.package" />
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<uses-library android:name="android.test.runner" />
</application>
</manifest>
Only the activity defined in manifest like below will be shown. You must define at least one activty like that.
<activity
android:name="YourActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
What you are trying to install doesn't have an activity defined in the manifest.
As per the docs
An activity is that implements part of the application's visual user interface.
All activities must be represented by <activity> elements in the manifest file.
Any that are not declared there will not be seen by the system and will never be run.
You can refer the document so as to have an idea how activity works
It's quite normal behavior, as you don't have any activity in your instrumentation package. Didn't you mean to run it as Android JUnit Test?

Android update is installing app again

I have searched through the forum, but found no match for the issue I am currently facing:
I have an app, which installs and works ok, but when I try to update it (install again), the application does not update, but is installed separately one more time - I get two shortcuts, different app data, both versions work, etc.
I have not changed the application name, have observed the same behavior in adb and with actual phone and tablet, also tried with same and increased app version...
This is my manifest:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.rts.android.language" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.1"
android:installLocation="auto">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE"/>
<application android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name">
<activity android:name="com.rts.android.language.ui.MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Any ideas what the reason might be?
Thanks!
please, make sure both applications contain same package name?
package="com.rts.android.language"
First, try to rename your activity:
from:
<activity android:name="com.rts.android.language.ui.MainActivity" />
to :
<activity android:name=".ui.MainActivity" />
Try to clean your project then build/rebuild...
When doing that you need to clean your Keystore:
%USERPROFILE%/.androidon Windows
~/.android/debug.keystore on Linux and Mac OS X

Can anyone tell how should i pursue
Thanks in advance

I'm also tackled with this same problem and finally I found the solution for it. When you creating a new android project using Eclipes and if you didn't create a activity for your first window, your project's Manifest also don't create proper codings for you to application launch up.
So, you should hardcode them yourself.
First check these codes are available or not in your Project's Manifest file, within your main activity tags.
**
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
**
These two code lines are very important. Because these two lines are calling to android OS to launch this app.
So, Make sure these codes are available in your project's Manifest file. If it's not this below Manifest file code will gets you rough idea to fix this problem.
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.mershanfernando.testingappz"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="10" />
<application android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher" android:label="#string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".Main"
android:label="#string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>

Confusion why a magic 1.6 user cannot find app on market

I've published an app today mainly for my forum users to use, just a
very simple app that displays wallpapers derived from the forum.
Problem I'm having is one guy says it doesn't appear in the market,
and I've even sent him the APK to install manually but it fails.
My minimum SDK version is 4, I created it with the 1.6 SDK specified
so not sure why he can't see it or install it. He has a 1.6 Magic
handset.
So just wondering if anyone has any ideas, the app is called bocn
wallpaper, it uses internet and set-wallpaper permissions.. but I
wouldn't have thought the permissions were the problem...
My manifest is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" package="net.dbws.bocnwallpaper">
<application android:icon="#drawable/launcher_icon"
android:label="#string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".Main"
android:label="#string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<meta-data android:value="xxxxx" android:name="ADMOB_PUBLISHER_ID" />
</application>
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SET_WALLPAPER" />
</manifest>
Please, check the supported screens: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/supports-screens-element.html
Android 1.6 has small-screens flag set default to false. May be it causes that the application is not seen on the device of the guy.
