So I get this error from time to time. It’s at the application launching from the Run button in Eclipse. this occurs once every 4-5 times.
Anyone has an idea what’s going on.

I really appreciate it!

    Looked into the ICS source code – It seems like for whatever reason the Package Manager can’t get your package info – it could just be an eclipse/ADT bug where eclipse holds some kind of lock on the file, but whatever it is, it doesn’t seem like something that you could cause with your code. I would suggest running a clean, uninstalling the app from the emulator/device, or if those don’t work, you might try a fresh eclipse workspace.

    Another thing that might be an issue is if you’re using a Library project – try unlinking the two, cleaning, and then linking them back up again – but thats it for my bag o’ tricks 🙂

    UPDATE: yorkw gives a better explanation for why this occurs and its resolution here: RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate application
