So I have completed everything to the "T" and watched the initial video for the "Crystal Ball" app segment. I have setup and followed the directions for the "AVD- manager" and when I go to "Run" the app I get the following errors from the console:
[2013-12-30 18:46:02 - Crystal Ball] Android Launch! [2013-12-30 18:46:02 - Crystal Ball] adb is running normally.
[2013-12-30 18:46:02 - Crystal Ball] Crystal Ball does not specify a android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner instrumentation or does not declare uses-library android.test.runner in its AndroidManifest.xml
After that error shows a pop up window appears and says the following:
"Crystal Ball is not configured correctly for running test. See console for details."
the console shows the info listed above.
I appreciate help with this as I cannot move forward with the program until I have resolved this.
Thank you in advance. Randall

5,542 PointsHey Randall,
So, I'm not sure exactly what the issue is, but after doing some reading here: http://developer.android.com/tools/devices/emulator.html#troubleshooting
it sounds like in the setup something went a little weird. Since you haven't done too much work (hopefully), I recommend uninstalling everything and reinstalling it, going with the default locations for the workspace. Then, with the videos, make sure you follow the setup very carefully when creating the Android project for the first time. It does matter what type of project you click!
Until someone from Treehouse support can tackle this one with more expertise, hopefully a "fresh start" will do the trick.
Cheers,

Treehouse TeacherSorry for the late reply! It sounds like you're trying to run the app as one of the test projects. Can you try this first: right-click on your project in the package explorer and select Run As > Android Application. Let's see if the same error occurs there and then we'll go from there if it does.
