473 PointsMy emulator isn't loading my app. It would say something like "Unfortunately, (name of app) has stopped working"
Emulator seems to be working good but my app won't run, please help me. Also would love if someone would tell me how I could connect my android phone to android studio. Thanks :).
here is my AndroidManifest.xml code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="dreamfactory.funfacts2">
<application
android:allowBackup="true"

android:label="@string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

android:name=".FunFactsApp"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

</manifest>
My main activity file
package dreamfactory.funfacts2;

setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);
fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override

String fact = "Ostriches can run faster than horses.";
factLabel.setText(fact);
}
};
showFactButton.setOnClickListener(listener);
}

}
@Override

Courses Plus Student 4,002 PointsSounds like there is something wrong with the app and not the emulator. Try to do some debugging. It is a very useful thing to practice.
To use your device for testing the first thing you have to do is enable developer options (google it and you'll find good descriptions with screenshots). Then connect your phone to your machine. If you're using a mac you don't need to do anything else. If you have a windows machine then you will need to install drivers. Again, you will need to use google to find how to set up your particular device.

473 PointsHow do I debug? And thank you, I successfully connected my phone to the computer but it still says "Unfortunately (app name) has stopped working).
