Unfortunately app has stopped in Android Emulator

Question

I am new to Android and I am trying a few small apps (like Compass). When I run the app in the emulator, it gives the message Unfortunately, Compass has Stopped.

Answer 1

I had the same error message and found that, in commenting out uses-permission nodes in AndroidManifest.xml I had commented out one that was needed. When I put it back in the app ran fine. I was able to reproduce the error. I needed:

This was for a barebones index.html, single page app, that displays Hello World. And the permission above was the only one I needed to do Run As/ Android Application and get it to run in an emulator.
