Unfortunately, (app) has stopped - error message in AVD/Eclipse on a new/default application

Question

I recently installed the ADT/Eclipse bundle on Windows 7 (64 bit). Whenever I try to run an application on the emulator it just says "Unfortunately, app has stopped". I've searched this error and read through loads of fixes on this site and others, but all of them seemed to be having trouble with a particular bit of code.

This error is happening without me making any changes to the code. I've tried it with multiple projects, with different minimum and target SDKs, to get the same result.

Here is my logcat log of the problem.

So I'm assuming there must be some problem with something I've set up, but I've no idea.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Try changing target sdk version to 19

Do not use API Level of 20 and Platform 4.4W, as Android Virtual Device. With Level 19 and Platform 4.2.2 set on ADV everything runs as it should. From here

Note: After changing clean your project.

Answer 2

Try using

android:targetSdkVersion="19"

if you are using

android:targetSdkVersion="20"

There is some problem API level 20. Here is a similar issue.
