 I am a Windows Phone developer trying to get into Android App development. I have been working with Android app development for the past couple of days with the latest Android Studio.  I finally got an app that can display an URL . I had an important line missing in my Manifest file and when I corrected this it worked.

Setting up the development environment Android studio setup is driven by a wizard and is very easy. Just follow the screenshots. It shows the variety of devices you can develop the apps. Just click next or finish as the case may be. Android starts other components needed for development as shown. Well, there was a hiccup here. I think...

This error appears when you try to deploy the project to the Local Machine (x64). There are no errors during build or deploy stages. However, when you try to run the machine you come up with this message after the App shows up momentarily and disappears immediately.
