Android :: Failed To Install Apk File By Package Installer

Nov 24, 2010

I have some problem installing my apk file in code. Wondering if anyone could find out what I did wrong.
What I was trying to do is put a Check Upgrade function in our program. When user clicks it, it will send request to our web server and find out what is the latest version. I use app versionName to stamp a version, something like 2010.11.23. I don't use the version code in Manifest.xml file. So our program sees the latest VersionName is later than itself, it will download the latest one, and then use the following code to install the new apk file:

CODE:........

Now looks like, everytime when I changed the VersionName, it will fail to install the apk file. It downloads the file fine. I don't know exactly why. Sometimes, in Eclips, when I hit debug, I got error saying "Re-installation failed due to different application signatures". I don't know if this is the same error caused the installation failed.

So, looks like my questions are:

Should that upgrade logic work? I am wondering if it has something to do with the VersoinName.
What could cause the application signature change? (I did sign our program before I put it on our server, but I always use the same key file for different versionName. )

HTC Hero :: Package Installer - Allows To Install Apps

Sep 29, 2010

I believe the 'Package Installer' is the thing that allows me to install apps?

I've only just noticed it in my 'manage applications' - I'm sure it never used to appear at the top of the list - and I'm tight on memory - so when it takes up 13mb as it does now I'm a bit stuck.

Can I click 'clear data' on it - or will that remove apps? There is no option to clear cache - all 13mb is listed in the Data.

Android :: Free Space Required For Package Installer

Sep 7, 2009

The package installer looks to take up a good amount of space when installing applications. We've published a very large game (ProjectINF - 6mb). And it looks to be taking up a good amount of space during the install process, to the point that we have a lot of users emailing us with complaints/requests to "fix it".

From what we've seen, it looks to take about 22mb of free space to install a 6mb apk. While I can imagine taking double or so for unpacking and temp locations, almost 4x the size seems a bit high. After an install with 22mb free, the device has 16mb free (which makes perfect sense). Users also seem to be getting errors on the market when trying to install with less than that amount of space (with no real clear error message, just "Install Failed".

Is there a way to install Astro File manager without using the market?

We are suddenly unable to install our app on G1 developer phones with 1.6. Works perfectly on emulator. When installing the app we get:

Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE Please check logcat output for more details. Launch canceled!

And logcat:

What does this mean? We checked that there is actually room enough on the phone.. We tried reverting the code to a revision that worked previously, but are getting the same error.

Android :: Package An XML File With App

May 14, 2010

I am trying to put an XML file containing over 1,000 different fish into my app so that I can read this file, create an Array and attach that to the AutoCompleteTextView. I first tried to create a string-array in a resource file but apparently the array was to large and would never actually load anything after a certain number of values. So want I want to do is add that XML file to a place in my app that I can access it and read from it. Whenever I try to bring the XML file in I get all these errors in Eclipse. So how do I add this file and how do I reference it later in order to access it? I could just store it online and access it that way but I think it is a little bit of a waste to have to access the net for that if I can instead just add it to my package setup someplace.

Android :: Reading Package Name From Apk File

Aug 12, 2009

If i have a apk file and want to know the package name and class hierarchy, how do i do it?

Suppose I have some sample APK file named "SampApp.apk" which contains classes inside "com.android.sampApp".

Is there any tool in Android SDK which shows the package name when APK file is passed as a parameter.

As the Class files are compressed to dex file I am not able to check the actual package name.

Android :: Pack A Config File Into Apk Package

Apr 21, 2010

I need to save these configurations into a file, and in my app I could change these configurations. In other words, I need a file to take all my config data, and in my app, I could read/write this file as I want.

I've searched document and mailing list archive, and have not found the exact solution. 1. SharedPreferences could not solve : It could only do with simple key/value pairs, my configuration data is more complex . 2. file in /assets , /res/raw could not solve: It seems that the file in these position would be read only

I've found a way, it almost solved my problem, but still not. Our code could deal with the file in /data/data/package-name/files on the target file system, this is good to me, but how could I put my file in this directory after my app has been installed? My app need to read these configurations when it starts.

My question is how could I pack my data file into my apk package, and then my app could read/write this file when it is run.

Android :: Install Error - Parsing The Package - Occurring For One Specific Device

Jan 21, 2010

My .apk file is confirmed working, however for users of the Motorola Milestone (which runs the same android version 2.0 and up) they receive the error upon attempt to install. I've googled and searched through the other questions here. The error seems to normally only appear if you did something wrong in the signing wizard or renamed the file. Is it possible that some kind of software difference on the OS build on these Milestones is preventing the install?

Android :: How To Parse The AndroidManifest.xml File Inside An .apk Package

This file appears to be in a binary XML format. What is this format and how can it be parsed programmatically (as opposed to using the aapt dump tool in the SDK)?

This binary format is not discussed in the in the documentation here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/manifest-intro.html

I want to access this information from outside the Android environment, preferably from Java.

Android :: Failed To Install SDK Update

Jul 30, 2010

I'm trying to update my SDK but every time I get this same warning dialog:
-= Waning! =- A folder failed to be renamed or moved.
The folder is <ANDROID_SDK>/tools. I searched for help in this group about this error and found some answers. But none of them worked for me. Looking at Process Explorer tool I found that the problem is the "java.exe" that is keeping several JAR file handles opened in that directory. Closing the handles hangs the "java.exe". What can I do? I am stuck in this step.

Android :: Failed To Install Applications On G1 Through USB

Feb 17, 2009

I follow the instruction to install my toy application, which ran well on my Mac.

1. Within Eclipse, I did "Android Tools-->Export Unsigned Application Package" to save MyApplication.apk into ~/workspace/MyApplication.apk.

2. Now Connect Your G1 Phone to your computer using USB cable. You need to install Drivers for this. Download Android USB drivers from here. This driver is required for adb to interface with an android G1 phone using USB cable.

3. Go to Android Settings/SD card & phone storage and disable Use for USB storage. You can enable it again later after you installed your third-party application.

4. Go to Settings/Application settings and enable Unknown sources.

5. adb install ~/workspace/MyApplication.apk

But this is the error I got: tools > ./adb install ~/Documents/workspace/MyApplication.apk 1644 KB/s (214695 bytes in 0.127s)

pkg: /data/local/tmp/MyApplication.apk Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]

Android :: Installation Unsuccessful - Package File Was Not Signed Correctly

Apr 6, 2009

I published my app on the market, and when I first tried installing it from there, I got the 'package file was not signed correctly' error. Uninstalling the unsigned version I was testing with let me install from the market with no problems. However, from the comments, it looks like no one else can install my application.

I've put other versions up that worked, and I used the same certificate, so I'm pretty sure it is not an issue with the validity days for the certificate.

The name of my application is Bloxors. It will be going up and down as I try to figure out what the issue is here, but if someone else who is getting the error can debug it it would be greatly appreciated.
