I'm new to android programming and started a sample hello world program, but stuck with below error:

Please help me to find out where I'm going wrong, I am currently on Android 4.3, API 18,

I've tried Android 4.0.3 API 15, Android 4.4W API 20; I have also tried editing sdk as below, but no luck.

<uses-sdk
   android:minSdkVersion="15"
   android:targetSdkVersion="19" />
Solution

  • 4.4W is Android Wear SDK. (dont target to android wear device)

    try changing target sdk version to 19

    As mentioned in another answer:

    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.
