In the continuing adventures of Android Studio and app development, I ran into yet another error while trying to import someone else's work off of github:

While building roms for the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge (TBLTETMO, TBLTEXX) I ran into an issue where the recents button was not working. So, I pulled a logcat, and here is what I saw:
