Answer 2

Try uninstalling your app before installing it again. It seems to have solved the issue for some according to this

Answer 3

It's very hard to find out what the error is from the information you provided.

Try the following

• Clean your project

• Uninstall your app

• Download a different version of adt bundle

• Experiment with different emulators with different values

• Try to use a real device, does the problem still occur?

• Look through these links, maybe your problem is similar:

Answer 4

Most of the time associated with excessive values for LinearAlloc. Putting verbose mode for logcat could give you more details (can even pinpoint the problem).

There no definite fix I heard of.Sometimes it can be fixed by wiping AVD, some get fix by increasing SD card only, some had to recreate new AVD, some fixed it by reinstalling ADT, there are lots of fixes people speak of, answer can be varied as actual problem.

Sometimes problem can be corrupted files, or application install entries which makes android confused whether app is installed or not. Or by use of complex libraries, or even problem with the compiler itself.

There's not a lot of clear information on this error from Google, they say it is related to a bug in Android OS that doesn't frees files handles in some cases. However as looking to logcat it always connected to some dex files. and so as to DDMS and compiler.

I suggest you to try all of the fixes I stated, also refer the given links
