Answer 1

In my case the problem was the Android project name as it contained German umlauts: äüö... I refactored the name and it worked.

Answer 2

In my case it was because I had changed the name of my app the strings.xml file:

<string name="app_name">My App</string>

Removing the app and reinstalling it solved the problem.

Answer 3

This error can point to so many different things, and there is many different fixes. To sum those I've gathered:

1. Problems with Eclipse: Clean project, rebuild project, restart eclipse.
2. Invalid characters: Remove any special characters in Eclipse project name. Use only [a-z] and [0-9] not even [ ] (whitespace)
3. Error in included jar: Try without jar and see if it runs, if does fix somehow.
4. Errors in manifest package setup: Right click in eclipse on project -> Android tools -> Rename application package (rename to something similar, you can always rename back).
5. Problems with device: Remove app from device and try re install.
6. Rom issue: If you use custom ROM try to reflash to a new ROM.
7. Debugging not enabled: On phone go to Settings -> Applications -> Allow unknown sources/enable debugging (this path can vary for different devices)
