I am running the app with a emulator and the app does not come up in the emulated device

Are you getting any errors on logcat? If so, that will help us figure out why. Or perhaps something simple is missing in your java code...

just restarted the lesson and reinstalled the andrio program but this games up as a error Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'.

com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

I did some research regarding that main error and the only thing I keep reading about is saying to make sure everything is fully updated, including the repository.

Lastly, check out this link I found. The link is below. I am still unfamiliar with dealing with the MultiDex, but reading the article may help you find your answer. I will continue to help you out as well, because I am curious what is causing this.

i just downloaded the program files in the notes and they seem to work, but i believe there is something wrong with the older Sdk verison they used in the video or older andriod suites application. It seems to be working from the program files though so for now we are good, thanks alot for the tips
