The hardware acceleration error indicates you need to install under “SDK Tools” the HAXM emulator accelerator. To do this, you have to check the box. It downloads and installs it. However, if “Virtualization” is disabled in your bios (by default frequently) you have to load the BIOS and change it to “enabled”. Try F10 (or other function keys) to get into your BIOS. Then go to your drive “\Users\$userid\AppData\Local\Android\SDK\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\” and run the program “haxm_chcek.exe”. You should see two options, and both should say “yes”. Then run the program “intelhaxm_android.exe” to install the accelerator. If it is already installed, uninstall it and reinstall it. It needs to be installed AFTER your bios settings change to work correctly.
This fixed the two android emulator errors. — To verify this worked, I then went to the “Tools/ AVD Manager” and did a “Cold Boot Now” to verify the emulator would load and run. Worked correctly for me.

“Compiler Error: [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK]” That’s the short error, it’s a lot longer than that in a pop-up box and it talks about deleting your data. Don’t click ok. Click Cancel. Then go to “Build/Clean Project”. Then it ran correctly for me in the emulator.

“Status” Finished the class, The Applicaiton works as described. Good quick class.
