Your code is fine, my guess is that your APK is not completely built

Build your APK:

On Android Studio click on Build

Then click on Build APK(s)

After that search for your debug APK and install it on your device

If this fails you can try ADB, take a look at the following guides for install and usage:

Hope it helps

Two things could be the problem.

Navigate to settings > security and make sure Unknown sources is checked.
Make sure you downloaded the whole apk in the email

Hope this helps!
