I couldn't figure out why this happen?

How to solve this error?

Answer 1

I had this issue, but I found that simply killing the emulator and restarting it worked. There seems to be some sort of race condition where the emulator has not initialized before Android Studio tries to launch the apk and so you get the package error.

Answer 2

This Is Worked for me

1)Close Solution.

2)Close Emulator.

3)Run Emulator and Wait till it launch completely and shows Home Screen.

4)After that only Open Solution And Clean,Rebuild and Try to deploy Application.
