unable to publish updated Apk on Play Store

I changed android:versionCode="2" from android:versionCode="1" and also changed android:versionName="1.1" from android:versionName="1.0" but still it shows error.Version 1 is not served to any device configuration
You need to deactivate the APK with versionCode 1 (versionName 1.0) before publish the APK with versionCode 2 (versionName 1.1)
There are few steps to follow when You want publish updated application
1. At Your System side(in mainfest.xml of your application)
for example
android:versionCode="1" to android:versionCode="2"
android:versionName="1.0" to android:versionName="1.1"
2. At playstore side
Unpublish your old version apk..
3.At playstore side
Now upload your new updated APK followed 1st step...at playstore
Hope it help for you...

Get applications package name

I am using Xamarin. I need to get the Google Maps API key and to do this I need my application's package name. How do I get this?
My app is called SimpleMapDemo and is one of the samples for using Google Maps.
Open your Manifest file and you shall find the package name of your application from the <manifest> tag.
Below is an example:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.recorder"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
In the above example my applications package name is: com.example.recorder

Overwrite Android Application

I'd like to overwrite my old android application. What are the things i have to be do for that ?
Do Changes in AndroidManifest.xml is enough ?
I like to use another package structure and a new project to do so.
Regards.
Following are required:
Same key
Same Package Name
Higher versionCode in the manifest
The package name indicated in the manifest should be the same:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.company.demo.app"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
If you're talking about the registration in Google Play, I think that only the package="..." attribute of the <manifest> node must be the same (and the version must be superior to the one of your first application of course).
It must also be signed with the same key.
That way, the Google Play site will recognize your old application as a new version, and it will replace the old one.

Application Installation in Android

I needed to know that when my a application installs in a device in android, which component of application framework decides its installation site and how i can manages its installation site (mobile memory or SD card)?
you can provide option for your installation on your SD card.You will need this in your manifest
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:installLocation=["auto" | "internalOnly" | "preferExternal"
You can choose among these.
But by default your app will always be saved on device.The user can always transfer it to SD card .
check the android documentation here[1]. To install to SD Card put
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:installLocation="preferExternal">
in your manifest.
For backwards compatibility use "auto" instead of "preferExternal".
[1] http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/install-location.html
In your Manifest file, it is set as default so when the user downloads the application, it is downloading into their mobile memory. If you want the user to have to option of moving the application to their SD card, you can add:
android:installLocation="auto"
It should be placed into the manifest section. For example:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.android.application"
android:installLocation="auto"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

How to update my application on android market without changing version code

I have uploaded my app on android market.I did some changes,and want to update it again so I am getting the error.
"The new apk's versionCode (1) already exists"
So what should I do.Plese help me
Thank you
it is not possible as per my knowledge that without change your app version code, update app to market you must need to update it.
Go to manifestfile >> and set version code new
like this ::
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="your.package.name"
android:versionCode="2"
android:versionName="2.0" >
you get your manifest and increment the version code, example:
before:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="your.package.name"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="version name" >
after:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="your.package.name"
android:versionCode="2"
android:versionName="new version name or not ^^" >
good luck.
You can not upload new installer same application package with same version code.
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="your.package.name"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
Change the version code (most likely incrementing it) in your manifest.xml.
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="your.package.name"
android:versionCode="2"
android:versionName="2.0" >
you must have to change your venter code hereersion code
Just as an addition to Dr Nik's answer (sorry, my rep isnt high enough to comment), remember to save the amended manifest before exporting the signed apk, otherwise the changes don't go through and you get the same error. Exporting doesn't autosave. Had me frustrated for 20 mins until I worked it out.
For Android Studio you must also change build.gradle file which has defaultConfig method contains versionCode
