APK Parsing Error

I do not know how to continue...
I build a signed or unsigned apk with Android Studio (everything is up to date). Now I want to test this apk and install it on my phone.
But I always get a parsing error...
I tried diffrent devices but with the same result. I tryed a blank app but with the same result. I can't install it because of a parsing error. But deploying directly from AS works just fine!
What I tried out:
Reinstalling SDK (latest)
Reinstalling Android Studio (latest)
Reinstalling Java (latest)
an older gradle version (2.2.3)
Dev options and allowing unknown sources are aktive on all my devices.
minSdkVersion is set to 19 (I just have devices with Android 5 and 6)
I don't have an idea where the problem comes from...
Can somebody help me?
Thanks in advance!!!

OK I finally solved my problem!
I uploaded the apk to dropbox! That was the problem!
If I move the apk directly to the download folder of my device (using USB) everything works fine!
But anyway thanks for your help!

It's not the code at all! I tried a new blank project and I couldn't install it too
but here is the Manifest and the gradle:

MapBox SDK not working android

I just started to use the MapBox SDK but its not working I was following the steps on the documentation but Im not getting any classes from their SDK here is my code:
build.gradle
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 24
buildToolsVersion "24.0.1"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.mapp.hello"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 24
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.2.0'
compile ('com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-sdk:4.2.0-beta.2#aar'){
transitive=true
}
}
AndroidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest package="com.mapp.hello"

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

<application

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<service android:name="com.mapbox.mapboxsdk.telemetry.TelemetryService"/>
</application>
</manifest>
The com.mapbox.mapboxsdk.telemetry.TelemetryService is shown in red and I cannot import the MapboxAccountManager

I know it's an old question, but I just had the same error while trying to update from Mapbox 4.x to 5.x and it turns out you have to change:
<service android:name="com.mapbox.mapboxsdk.telemetry.TelemetryService"/>
to
<service android:name="com.mapbox.services.android.telemetry.service.TelemetryService" />
Update:
Turns out in the latest version (5.x) you don't have to declare it in the Manifest at all, as Mapbox now makes use of Manifest merge feature.

I dont know how but the app was getting run even though gradle build was stopped because of lint, I just stopped lint from stopping the build process now everything is working :)

unable to import com.google.android.maps.* in android studio

import com.google.android.maps.GeoPoint;
import com.google.android.maps.ItemizedOverlay;
import com.google.android.maps.MapView;
import com.google.android.maps.OverlayItem;
I have to import the above packages into my app. I am not able to do it. I tried installing Google APIs from SDK manager. Still it shows me errors.
Plus I added the following dependency in my build.gradle
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:+'
Still I am not able to import.
Here is my build.gralde file
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion '23.0.1'
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.incrediblemachine.andhiv"
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
compile 'org.jbundle.util.osgi.wrapped:org.jbundle.util.osgi.wrapped.org.apache.http.client:4.1.2'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'
}
my manifest file is as follows:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.incrediblemachine.andhiv"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />
</manifest>

Step 1. Put below dependency in your build.gradle resides in application module directory.
dependencies {
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:8.4.0'
}
Step 2. Save the changes and click Sync Project with Gradle Files in the toolbar.

Manually add that dependency instead. Do these steps:
Click File, then Project Structure
under modules, you'll see a folder named app
access the said folder in step 2, then you will see multiple tabs. Go and enter Dependencies.
You will see a green plus sign button, click and and choose Library Dependency.
Enter com.google.android.gms:play-services:+ and click ok. Then click another ok and wait for the gradle to recompile

symbol maps cannot be resolved
The compiler cannot find the class. This means that the class has not been imported properly
Don't
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:+'
Do
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:8.4.0'
or //compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:7.8.0'
Then Clean-Rebuild-Sync your Project .
<uses-permission android:name="com.example.incrediblemachine.andhiv.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" />

Any ideas? Thanks !

You are missing critical components of your manifest. The SDK error you are receiving is because the compiler doesn't know at what SDK level to compile your app - you're missing <uses-sdk.
And while we're at it, you're also missing your package name, version name, and version code. These are all critical components to your app. Here's an example of a well-formed manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.exampleapp"
android:versionCode="2"
android:versionName="v0.2-Alpha" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="9"
android:targetSdkVersion="19" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_TASKS" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.example.exampleapp.MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<service android:enabled="true" android:name="com.example.exampleapp.MyService" />
</application>
</manifest>
Notice at the very top: the sections that read package, android:versionCode, and android:versionName. And also, below those, the entire section that starts with <uses-sdk... These are all required.

Add this to your build.gradle:
android {
compileSdkVersion 20
buildToolsVersion '20.0.0'
}

I had the same issue and fixed it next way:
in build.gradle file of module (usually in app, not in root project directory) I set
android {
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 19
targetSdkVersion 19
// your application version and id settings
}
where 19 - is and SDK I have completely loaded in Android SDK Manager
(same values checked in Studio module settings, Properties and Flavors tabs).
So, may be your problem is a cause of minSdkVersion 8 value, when you don't have 8 API installed.

I had the same error.
In my case the package 'Extras\Google Repository' was not installed.
So after installing it in SDK Manager the problem had gone.

Android Studio "can't resolove symbol 'Theme'"

I'm using android studio 0.8.4

This bug is because of gradle 0.12.2
So I changed gradle version from 0.12.+ to 0.12.1 and It works well.

The problem is not with the way the application is built (i.e. merging styles from external libraries). The problem is that the Android Studio XML editor is not aware of the resources in the external libraries.
This problem is already being answered by many please have a look at it
IDE "Cannot Resolve #style/Theme.Appcompat" when using v7 compatibility support theme

This is bug because of low gradle you could download gradle from this reference
and replace it with old gradle.
Second solution is update your android studio to newer version.
third Solution is Invalidate / Cache restart.
Hope it help.
