Answer 1

Please change your package name to be all lower case in your manifest and make sure your android:name attributes for your activities reflect the changes.

Answer 2

Go to "Build" > "Clean Project". Works for me.

Answer 3

In my case (i have a rooted device) and when i rooted, something happened with my permission of /data/local/tmp and they have been changed, so adb can't get access temp file. How i solved:
1. Install RootExplorer
2. Create new "tmp" folder on sdcard
3. Long press on tmp folder, and select Link to this folder (last option in menu)
3. Go to /data/local/ and tap button CREATE LINK from bottom
