Check your emulator or physical device Android version, it should be more or less your min sdk version in build.gradle.

The answer is here "#28 (current version is #25)".

Modify your project build.gradle.

You have given minSdkVersion 28 which means, to run the app the device must be atleast having android P. As mentioned in the error you are trying to run the app in device running on API level 25 which is android N.To solve the isssue either you can change the minSdkVersion to 25 (minSdkVersion 25) or you have to run the app in a device which is running on android pie or higher.
