9,900 PointsprocessDebugManifest - I cannot run the app properly
Everytime I run my application at this point, it keeps showing the "Hello word" message from the beginning. I got this message at every run:
11:46:18 AM: Executing external task 'processDebugManifest'... Configuration on demand is an incubating feature. :app:preBuild :app:preDebugBuild :app:checkDebugManifest :app:preReleaseBuild :app:prepareComAndroidSupportAppcompatV72200Library UP-TO-DATE :app:prepareComAndroidSupportSupportV42200Library UP-TO-DATE :app:prepareDebugDependencies :app:processDebugManifest UP-TO-DATE
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 0.999 secs 11:46:19 AM: External task execution finished 'processDebugManifest'.
This what I have in gradle:
buildscript { repositories { jcenter() } dependencies { classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.0'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects { repositories { jcenter() } }

28,738 PointsHmm, I'm not seeing anything wrong. In fact, when I run this using a fresh project and copying and pasting your code in. It works perfectly fine. I hate to keep asking for more files, but how about your build.gradle for the app (there are two build.gradle files, the one you provide was the project level build.gradle). Otherwise, I'd suggest try building a new clean project and copying and pasting your code above in.

9,900 Points//I will try to create new project if this doesn't work.
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 22
buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.steveleec.funfacts"
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 22
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'

}

compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.0.0'
}

28,738 PointsIt runs as well for myself. Only other suggestion I could make to try to salvage this project is to try to go to Build, Clean Project. Then try running the project again.
Steve Marreros Chuco
9,900 PointsThank you for you help James! I'll keep trying to fix it somehow.
James Simshaw
28,738 PointsI always forget about the second option besides just Clean Project. You could try File, Invalidate Caches/Restart and invalidate the caches and restart. This should hopefully clean out anything that Android Studio isn't wanting to update.
