Session 'app': Error Launching activity
After the Android Studio 2.0 update while the gradle build finishes I get this :
Session 'app': Error Launching activity .
It prevents the app from starting but it's installed in my emulator. This is what comes up in the Run tab :
Unexpected error while executing: am start -n "com.example.user.ypologismosmoriwn/com.example.user.ypologismosmoriwn.MainActivity" -a android.intent.action.MAIN -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER Error while Launching activity
Here is the code:
package com.example.user.ypologismosmoriwn;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
}
It's just an empty Activity,nothing added
and the XML code is just a Relative Layout with 4 Texts and 3 Check Boxes
This is the logcat i am getting
Thanks anyone who is willing to help
I also faced this issue after I updated to AS2.0. I found that it is because of the instant run
enabled. So my solution is to disable the "instant run". and it worked. To disable "instant run", you can go to Preference Dialog
( May be Setting dialog on Windows), then select Build, Execution, Deployment
> Instant Run
, and uncheck all the checkbox to disable Instant Run
.
This is my temporary solution and it may help you. Later, I'll find a better way to this issue.

A better solution instead of disabling instant run
.
Remove the .idea
folder and .gradle
folder, then click button Sync Project with Gradle Files
(or through the menu File
-> Sync Project with Gradle Files
), after this process finished, you are able to run your app as normal.
Good Luck~
If you are using Android 7.0 and above it is likely that the app was installed in two places (Guest and Admin) and you only Uninstalled it for only one user and that is causing problems.
To solve that, go to: Settings -> Apps & Notifications -> See all Apps -> find the app you are trying to install.
Then click the menu on the top right corner and select Uninstall for all users
Run Your App from Android Studio it should work.
