App crashing in Android emulator in android studio (2.2.3)

Question

I am trying to make an app whcih displays the values of x,y,z of accelerometer.
I have this code in my activity_main.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_marginLeft="92dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="114dp"
        android:text="TextView" />

</RelativeLayout>

The following is the MainActivity.java code:

package com.example.sensorsimple;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;
import android.hardware.SensorManager;
import android.hardware.SensorEventListener;
import android.hardware.SensorEvent;
import android.hardware.Sensor;
import java.util.List;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    SensorManager sm = null;
    TextView accText = null;
    List list;

    /* This responds to sensor events */
    SensorEventListener sel = new SensorEventListener(){
        public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor sensor, int accuracy) {
            /* Isn't required for this example */

        }
        public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {
            /* Write the accelerometer values to the TextView */
            float[] values = event.values;
            accText.setText("x: "+values[0]+"\ny: "+values[1]+"\nz: "+values[2]);
        }

    };

    /* Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        /* Get a SensorManager instance */
        sm = (SensorManager)getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);

        /* This corresponds to a TextView element in main.xml with android:id="@+id/accText" */
        accText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);

        /* Get list of accelerometers */
        list = sm.getSensorList(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER);

        /* If there are any accelerometers register a listener to the first else
           print a little error message */
        if(list.size()>0){
            sm.registerListener(sel, (Sensor) list.get(0), SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL);
        }else{
            Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Error: No Accelerometer.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
        }
    }

    @Override
    protected void onStop() {
        /* Always a good idea to unregister, disconnect, close, etc things */
        if(list.size()>0){
            /* This actually unregisters a listener for all sensors, but it can be done
               on a sensor by sensor basis */
            sm.unregisterListener(sel);
        }
        super.onStop();
    }

When I run this AVD in the android studio (API 24, Android N), the app crashes with the error [APP name] has stopped on the emulator screen.How to run this? This is what I get as error

Answer 1

You should check your AndroidManifest.xml file, because it tries to find com.example.sid.javatpoint_sensor_values.MainActivity and your MainActivity is placed in com.example.sensorsimple package. If your AndroidManifest.xml is ok, try to clean your project
