Welcome to Android Forums, Randy_Gold!

I am getting this error whenever I try running my app.

You're most likely to find help for this by posting on our Android Development board, where other developers hang out.

Please be as detailed as possible when posting there, for example, if you're using Android Studio, which version is it and what platform are you using? Also, using the 'code' tag to encase your text output makes for a neater, easier to read post.

Good luck with your app!
