    Everything was fine until I ran the Emulator. When I run the emulator(Nexus 5) all the inputs and buttons shift to the top left corner of the screen, overlapping each other. Could you go over it?

    I have one question
    At 28:20 you get the value of FirstNumEditText, then convert it to string , then convert it to integer and then give it to int num1.
    why do you need to do it ? Isn't the type of FirstNumEditText integer already ?

    Cheers for the Video clip! Forgive me for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you tried – Chiveard Creating Empire Framework (probably on Google)? It is a smashing exclusive product for learning how to create and develop your own android app minus the hard work. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate at last got great success with it.

    Following these directions resulted in an app that did not build. The error on the emulator screen was, "My First App has stopped". There was an error, with regard to the casting of a Button:

    I can't open up the palette on my application it keeps telling me Error:A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
    > Failed to find target with hash string 'android-26' in: C:UsersQuaAppDataLocalAndroidSdk

    and I just opened a new project. How do I go about fixing this problem?

    Can someone explain why you have to cast the variable again when you already declared what it is ? In the video, he declared addBtn as a Button already, so why is the casting needed, isnt it redundant ? Ive seen other videos do these casts as well even though the type has already been declared. Is there a special reason why this must be done ?
