title: Unable to run a simple android application
body: <p>I am new to Android. I modified the activity_main.xml as described in this link. <a href="http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/building-ui.html" rel="nofollow">http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/building-ui.html</a></p>
  
  <p>When I try to run, AVD says, unfortunately your app has stopped working.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to change minimumsdk and targetsdk version in the manifestfile but that didn't help.</p>
