Another reason this error might occur is: there is no index.html in .../YourApp/www/ !

I just followed the ionic guide, and one of the steps is:

$ rm www/index.html

On iOS this is no problem as during the build the compiler takes some default HTML instead. However, when building for android, NO example index.html is used. Took me sometime to find out ("WHY does it work on iOS, but not on android...?)

Easy solution: create a index.html, save it under .../YourApp/www, rebuild ...et voila!

I had a similar issue and based on above suggestions I first added  super setIntegerProperty  loadUrlTimeoutValue   70000    but that did not help  So I tried Project -  Clean  that worked and I can launch the app now    Avinash

I had the same on my project   I tried   super setIntegerProperty  loadUrlTimeoutValue   70000     but to no avail   I ensured all files were linked properly   CSS  JS files etc    validated the HTML using w3c validator   http   validator w3 org  validate by upload     and cleaned the project   Project -  Clean    It now loads and executes without the same error   Hope this helps

As you said  there are many duplicate questions on the same topic  Any how explaining your situation   The problem might be solved by adding a timeout to call your index html  ie you need to add super setIntegerProperty  loadUrlTimeoutValue   70000   in your activity java file   inside src com yourProj -- youractivity java  above this line   super loadUrl  file    android asset www index html      Explanation   This can be happened due to the following reasons  The core reason  the problem is likely due to the speed of the emulator so the network is too slow complete the communication in a timely fashion   This can be due to    Your code data image is of too much of size   I guess in your case you are using some images  as you said you made some UI modifications  may be the size of images are high  Your script may have a infinite or long loop  so that it takes too much of time to load  You will be using too much of scripts  jQuery  iscroll  etc etc   more number of plugins or scripts

fixing this on an ionic app  simply add        lt preference name  loadUrlTimeoutValue  value  700000    gt    to your config xml file immediately after this line    lt platform name  android  gt

In my case I am using ionic and I simply closed the dialog went to apps in the emulator and ran my app from there instead  This worked  I got the idea of that from here since it was just a time out issue

Check you index html file  If you use external resources  that not available when you run application then you can get this error   In my case I forgot to delete link on debugger script  weinre     lt script src  http   192 168 0 102 8080 target target-script-min js anonymous  gt  lt  script gt    So application worked on emulator because http   192 168 0 102 8080  was on my localhost and available for emulator   But when I setup application on mobile phone I had same error  because 192 168 0 102 was not available from mobile network

Extending loading Timeout Limit will not solve the problem which caused the error  it just will avoid the system to show the message but performance will be affected whatsoever   Actual reason  You may be linking files or images to remote locations  and those resources are taking too long to load   this is likely the most common error   Definitive solution  move all the scripts  images and css needed to  some local folders and load them locally       Performance will be increased and error will be effectively solved
