Android Studio Emulator Crashes Mac

after i changed the theme to:

Android Emulator is included with Android Studio. Versions of the emulator prior to 25.3.0 were distributed as part of the Android SDK Tools. To ensure you have the latest version, check the SDK Manager for updates. For Android Emulator versions prior to 25.3.0, see the Android SDK Tools release notes. If the Android emulator you are using is on older and unsupported Mac OS X version (10.9) then remember that you have to use older version of HAXM (6.1.2) also. If this is not used then its sure to come across apps keeps crashing issue. Solution 3: Antivirus Software.

<style name='AppTheme' parent='android:Theme.Holo.Light.NoActionBar'>

and running it on the emulator i kept getting this runtime error:

You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity.

after looking around i found this on stack overflow:

so i changed the the Java file to extends the Activity class instead of the ActionBarActivity class and all went well.

i don't know if what i did was correct.

I'm using Android Studio 1.0.2 on a Mac

Easy fix, I ran into the same problem just now and decided I better share the solution. ^_^

Inside AndroidManifest.xml there is a line that says android:theme this is just calling a style from your styles.xml.So if we open up this file and change the theme to look like the following everything should work splendidly.

I tried this as well as all the suggested tips in the forum but it still doesn't work. It 'runs' without errors but when it shows up on the emulator or my phone it immediately crashes

I had the same issue

I had to change the java to public class FunFactsActivity extends android.app.Activity

It would be nice to get someone from Treehouse to address what is going on here

I changed mine to AppCompatActivity as recommended by this S.O. post

<style name='AppTheme' parent='Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar'> -- this worked for me :)
