Android Studio Application Installation Failed

Question

I ve been trying to learn how to use Android Studio but when I attempted to run one of the sample programs I get this error message      Installation failed with message null        It is possible that this issue is resolved by uninstalling an existing version of the apk if it is present  and then re-installing       WARNING  Uninstalling will remove the application data       Do you want to uninstall the existing application    I ve tried to do this on 5 more sample programs and all of them give me this error  Does anyone know how to solve this

Go to Settings   Applications  Probably you have the app still installed for other users  I had the same problem with a Moto G  I did not see the app among other apps  but it still was among my apps in Settings   Try to find it and remove for all users   If the problem is this one you will find the app at the end of the list  in Settings   Apps   All   All the apps marked as  Not installed  are still there and you can not install the same apps with Android Studio until they are there
