    Post How to fix problem regarding error message "Installation failed due to invalid URI!" in time of running an android trial application.

    I am totally a newbie and not that much technical savvy.
    I created an android project in eclipse, and there is a default hello world code.
    But when I am hitting the run, errors happen and they are
    Installation failed due to invalid URI!
    Please check logcat output for more details.
    Launch canceled!

    The codes are given below

    package com.example.myfirstapp;
     
    import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.view.Menu;
    import android.view.MenuItem;
     
    public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
     
    	@Override
    	protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    		super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    		setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    	}
     
    	@Override
    	public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    		// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    		getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
    		return true;
    	}
     
    	@Override
    	public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    		// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
    		// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
    		// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
    		int id = item.getItemId();
    		if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
    			return true;
    		}
    		return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    	}
    }

    and here goes the xml

    <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
        android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
        android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
        android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
        tools:context="com.example.myfirstapp.MainActivity" >
     
        <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@string/hello_world" />
     
    </RelativeLayout>

    I searched and found what I need to do.
    Which I think I have to set the target sdk version from 21 to 19.
    But while creating the AVD, in the target setting place! I only find level 20.

    There are many tutorials among the web for fixing those kind of problems that you can use. Just make sure you do is as quick as possible in order to maintain your code safe. If it's getting a but hard for you, you can try using some programs such as checkamrx or others for code security.
    Good luck with it.
    Ben.

    If you have been using Eclipse with ADT, be aware that Android Studio is now the official IDE for Android, so you should migrate to Android Studio to receive all the latest IDE updates.Current projects built in Eclipse should still work well enough, but taking advantage of new Android features will be harder and harder from here on out. Projects can be imported into Android Studio with the File>New>Import Project menu.
    Whatever you are, be a good one
