Can not start Fun Facts on the emulator.

Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED]

This is all it says. Tried to reload emulator twice, no use. It starts with a screen lock and runs like a normal phone, but no Fun Facts app in the app list.

Hello,

From the error message you gave, it sounds like there might be something wrong with your AndroidManifest.xml file. To help troubleshoot this more, we would need to see the file.

Thanks for helping! Turned out that the path was wrong, illegal symbols used. Just have to remember to be careful in the beginning, leave it default if not sure.
