I can't run any app on Android Studio (even a new app that I just have created).

I have tried using GenyMotion emulator and the native android emulator.. when I tried to use the native android emulator it just says "Waiting for device." for hours and nothing happens..

When I tried to use the GenyMotion emulator (which I personally prefer ) it shows me this message:

WARNING: linker: libdvm.so has text relocations. This is wasting memory and is a security risk. Please fix. pkg: /data/local/tmp/com.example.me.FirstApp Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK]

for this error I have found this answer, but I don't understand it.

What do I have to do in order to fix it?

  • well to be honest to story is : today i tried to update the SDK to the new L version and after i updated it , it messed up my Eclipse project.. after hours of trying to understand whats wrong i gave up and said to myself :"hey why not Android Studio?" and so i tried Android Studio(wich seems great by the way..) and then i encountered this problem... after hours of trying to fix this problem.. i thought maybe its the SDK? so i opened the SDK manager and i uninstalled all of the packages that i had.. and now Eclipse doesn't work at all.. – user3783609 Jun 27 '14 at 17:21

According to your story I see that you updated your SDK and then the problem occurred.

I recommend you to redownload the SDK from here and then to replace the existing SDK on your Android Studio.

I've met the same issue and fixed as follows.

  1. My environment
  • Android Studio 0.8 + GenyMotion2.2.2 on Windows8.1
  • Android 4.4W(API20) and Android 4.4.2(API19) SDK installed, running Android 4.4.2 emulator on GenyMotion.

  1. Solution
    Patched the 'build.gradle' file as follows:
    -- compileSdkVersion 'android-L'
    ++ compileSdkVersion 'android-19'

  2. Attention
    You will have to install Android 4.4.2 SDK if you've not installed before.

Change this Lines in your build.gradle

compileSdkVersion 'android-L' to compileSdkVersion 'android-19'

and

targetSdkVersion 'L' to targetSdkVersion 19

also

in your res/values-v21/styles.xml

<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Material.Light"></style>
to 
<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light"></style>

and install 4.4.2 SDK platform

I had a similar problem and found out that the issue was the GenyMotion device, which had an older SDK, namely SDK 19. I don't think GenyMotion supports android-L yet.

May be your 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:xxx' version is not corresponding with your gradle version!
