App not running on device

I have no errors in eclipse yet when I try to run the app on my Nexus 7 the message comes up saying "Unfortunately, CrystalBall has stopped working". This happens on every app I try to make. Any ideas on what the problem could be??

Hi Matt - Check to make sure your MainActivity.java file is added to your AndroidManifest.xml file.

After attempting to launch the app on your device while it's connected to the computer, are there any error messages displayed in logcat? Does the app run normally on the eclipse emulator?

Hi guys, I have the exact same problem on my tablet and on Genymotion with the same message "Unfortunately, CrystalBall has stopped".

@Matt: how do I exactly add the MainActivity.java file to the AndroidManifest.xml file pls? I don't really get the idea....

@Ryan: on my side, yes there are error messages in logcat when I launch the app (both with the tablet and Genymotion). Any clue?

Thx for the help
