Fun Facts application has stopped working

So I am trying to run the Fun Facts application for the first time in an emulator (Android 4.4.4, using the Android ARM CPU and 1024 RAM)

It just says "Fun Facts has stopped wroking". Here's what the logcat says:

You cannot combine swipe dismissal and the action bar this is what the log is pointing at.

4.4.4 I believe is the either API level 20 or 21 , the one with the wearable SDK

Of what I can suggest at this point is, try using API 19 4.4.2 and a similar Virtual Device to go with it. Either change the API setting in the manifest file, or easier

1) open the SDK manager and download API 19 if you haven't.
2) Create a new project but select API 19 in build with or target SDK

Hope this helps. Ask again if it doesn't.
