The manifest is the manifest.xml of your android project. Have you tried to enter permissions for say the internet inside our manifest? Malformed and considering your manifest of XML. Malformed XML means that you have a typo or something you your manifest.xml file. If you post the manifest xml code I will tell you what is wrong. Since this error says manifest is wrong, but doesn't tell you what in the manifest is wrong.

Double check whatever you last changed in the manifest.xml and problem solved.

what kind of an app are you running because we need more information to be able to help but you can try this link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6056564/installation-error-install-parse-failed-manifest-malformed there are many scenarios there

For IDE specific questions, Google is probably going to be your best friend.
