EDIT: I think I found the issue. In the Android Manifest, change the targetSdkVersion to

android:targetSdkVersion="19"

Then this will work. The reason you're having the problem is because the SDK version you are currently targeting is for Android Wear (The smartwatch) but, you actually want to create a mobile application.

Option 2 is to set the targetSdkVersion to 21 and use the Android L Developer Preview. It's up to you :)

Hello, sorry, open up the Android Manifest file and then switch to the XML View tab and you'll find it :)

Hi Harry,

The code in my Android Manifest xml tab is as follows There is no android:targetSdkVersion="19" target in the code BTW I am using Android Studio (could that be one of the factors for the emulator not booting up ?:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.adhastudio.test2" >

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
    <activity
        android:name=".MyActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>

</manifest>

Ah. If you are using Android Studio, it's a little bit different. Instead, take a look in your main build.gradle file and change the values there:

compileSdkVersion 19
    buildToolsVersion "19.1.0"

Hope it helps!
