Excuse me, that's the use of showing exception stack to people who cannot see the code throwing this exception? What is unclear in its message?

When I run the application, it stops suddenly, and I have those errors in Stack.

All right, I did not ask about it. Many things are perceived as sudden. :-)

Your package appears to be named inventis but the error message says java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.example.inventis.MainActivity" on path: /data/app/com.example.inventis-1.apk. Are you sure you are building the application correctly?

Actually, I don't know if I'm building it right or not. I click with the right button on my project on Package Explorer -> Run As -> Android Application. Then I choose my phone (directly connected to my PC with a cable), because I'm running my apps directly on my phone, I'm not using any emulator.
