Crystal Ball Fails to Launch in Emulator

For some reason the Crystal Ball won't run on the Emulator. I followed the instructions in the video and receive this message:

[2014-03-05 19:52:35 - CrystalBall] Failed to install CrystalBall.apk on device 'emulator-5554! [2014-03-05 19:52:35 - CrystalBall] (null) [2014-03-05 19:52:36 - CrystalBall] Launch canceled!

What do I do?

Hello Jossmir,

I have received this error message as well, and believe it is due to the app running when you are trying to install it. Make sure that you return to the home screen and do not have the app up when you run/rebuild the app. You can also use the Manage Applications under Settings to Force Quit the app. If either of those options do not work, try deleting the app altogether.
