I'm a beginner when it comes to both Java and android SDK, and I had some issues that I dealt with to finally be able to run my app, and than I get this error and I just can't figure it out.

So this is the Console:

[2013-09-17 19:59:23 - AndroidFlow] Installation error:INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED [2013-09-17 19:59:23 - AndroidFlow] Please check logcat output for more details. [2013-09-17 19:59:23 - AndroidFlow] Launch canceled!

(Sorry for text fragmentation, it doesn't fit in the same line)

And heres the logcat snap: enter image description here

Also, heres the Manifest file:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.domiq.androidapp"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="16"
    android:targetSdkVersion="18" />

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >

    <service android:enabled="true"
    android:exported="false"
    android:isolatedProcess="false"
    android:label="flow service"
    android:name="com.domiq.androidapp.appservice"
    android:permission="string"
    android:process="string" >
    </service>

    <activity
        android:name="com.domiq.androidappp"
        android:label="androidapp" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

</application>

Any suggestions? I've tried a lot of stuff (as you can see nothing is in capital letters etc...)

In the future, copy the text out of LogCat (select the lines, press <Ctrl>-<C> to copy) rather than use screenshots.

That being said, here are some obvious problems:

  1. Your android:name in the <activity> is invalid, as it does not have the name of your Activity class.

  2. The one that is causing your error is the android:process attribute in the <service> element, which is malformed and unnecessary.

  3. I am skeptical that the android:name in your <service> points to a Service implementation class.

  4. I strongly encourage you to get rid of android:isolatedProcess and android:permission, as what you have will probably not work the way you expect.

Are you sure your Activity's name is com.domiq.androidappp. This looks to be the package name. So change below line to the Activity class Name. Use the Eclipse Manifest editor rather than adding manually

<activity
        android:name="com.domiq.androidappp"

You need to remove the android:permission="string" and android:permission="string". It looks like you just copied pasted that incorrectly. You are supposed to replace "string" with the proper values.

Also your android:name under your Activity should be the Activity name, e.g. android:name="com.domiq.androidapp.MyActivity".
