title: Creating webview through Android Studio
body: <p>My first day with creating android app and I am stuck. I have followed <a href="https://developers.google.com/chrome/mobile/docs/webview/gettingstarted" rel="nofollow">the steps to create the webview by android studi</a>o. However after countless hours, I am still not able to create webview app. The application stops in the emulator even before loading and displays error: "Unfortunately the application has stopped".</p>
  
  <p>Any help will is appreciated. My files are below:</p>
