Trying to develop my first app, and I'm running some code on a Nexus 6. Android Studio tells me I have no errors, but when I try to run the app on my phone, I only see a blank skin (i.e just the title of the app in the ActionBar and everything blank underneath)

I checked the logcat and it said: "Failed sending reply to debugger: Broken pipe"

I tried googling around for this error but didn't find anything that helped. Anyone know what's going on?

Check the Compiler SDK version and the Emulator API version. If the compiler SDK version greater than API version it will throw the Error.
