ERROR from LogCat:<

Answer 1

For me, my package string in AndroidManifest.xml was incorrect (copied from a tutorial). Make sure the package string in this file is the same as where your main activity is, e.g.

 package="com.example.app"

An easy way to do this is to open the AndroidManifest.xml file in the "Manifest" tab, and type it in the text box next to Package, or use the Browse button.

Also, the package string for my activity was wrong, e.g.

I (stupidly) got the same error weeks later when I renamed my package name. If you do this, make sure you update the AndroidManifest.xml file too.
