processDebugManifest - I cannot run the app properly

Question

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() } }

This is the java file James. file: FunFactsActivity.java

package com.steveleec.funfacts;

import java.util.Random;

public class FunFactsActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_fun_facts);

    //Declare our view variables
    /* Longer comments */
    final TextView factLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.factTextView);
    Button showFactButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.showFactButton) ;

    View.OnClickListener listener = new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            //The button was clicked, so update the factlabel wit new fact
            String fact = "";
            //Randomly select a fact
            Random randomGenerator = new Random();
            int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(3); //random number between 1 and 3.

// fact = randomNumber + "";

            String[] factsArray = new String[3];
            factsArray[0] = "Ants stretch when they wake up in the morning";
            factsArray[1] = "Ostriches can run faster than horses.";
            factsArray[2] = "Olympic gold medals are mostly made by silver.";

            fact = factsArray[randomNumber];
            //Update the label with a dynamic fact
            factLabel.setText(fact);
        }
    };
    showFactButton.setOnClickListener(listener);
}


@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_fun_facts, menu);
    return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
    // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
    // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
    int id = item.getItemId();

    //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
    if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
        return true;
    }

    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

}

Hmm, 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.

//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'
        }
    }
}

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

It 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.
