Android: Unable to instantiate application

Question

I renamed my package and now I get this strange error:

Unable to instantiate application
app.MyApplication: java.lan         


        

Answer 1

For me the issue was due to access level of the class, it has to be public

Answer 2

this answer helped me, basically rename your lib to libs if you're using SDK 17+ https://stackoverflow.com/a/10176048/46459

Answer 3

I faced this issue as long as a day, finally i solved it, I had a mistake in Application class declaration, you need set your application class public like this:

public class AppController extends Application { }

My code that is wrong: class AppController extends Application { }

Answer 4

For me, the issue was with instant-run. Disabling it solved the issue.

Will update if I find a solution for re-enabling and making it work.

Answer 5

Simple clean the project and rebuild.
