Error On First Task - Fun Facts

I run the basic app (prints Hello world in Fun Facts) on the emulated phone like the video told me to, however, all I get is the emulated phone without Fun Facts popping up, and I also cannot find it anywhere in the app section.

In the printout at the bottom of Android Dev, it states the following error in red:

"pkg: /data/local/tmp/TheBest.funfacts Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED]"

I'm assuming it failed, but I have no idea why. Any ideas?

It seems to be an issue with your package manifest naming that you first set up when beginning a new project. See this link for more info: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6056564/installation-error-install-parse-failed-manifest-malformed
