I'm doing the crystal ball project, and whenever I click run it keeps popping up "Unfortunately, crystal ball has stopped" on the emulator.

2) As a workaround I would suggest get started with Geny Motion for your emulator. Its really simple to set up and has lesser lags as compared to the default emulator by android.
And yes its free! :)
Hope it helps.

<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="15"
android:targetSdkVersion="20" />
