Hello, have you install your emulator correctly? i means have you place the correct path?

Thanks

As jason phillips has said, the problem lies in your AndroidManifest.xml file. Please provide it here and we'll take a look :)

Can you post your manifest file for the project?

It looks like there is an extra carrot on the first line:

package="Hejny.myapplication" >

should be 

package="Hejny.myapplication"

Hello again Jakub,

Many users have had this issue as a result of having capital letters in the package name. If you change your package name from Hejny.myapplication to hejny.myapplication, it should fix the issue.

To do this, right-click on your package and press Refactor then Rename. Then, enter the new name. Make sure that you have all boxes on the dialog checked. Else, you may get errors in your xml files. Then, press Preview and then OK.

If you still have errors, go to Project and then Clean. Then, select Clean all projects (Or if you have a lot of projects, just choose the one you're working on). After that, press OK.

If you still have errors after that, open up your AndroidManifest.xml file in the XML View and look for any errors (Sometimes refactoring the package name doesn't quite work well for XML files). Usually, you'll understand what's gone wrong and will be able to manually correct it. If you still have errors and don't understand how to fix them, you can attach the code with errors here or post a link to your project files and I'll take a look :)
