I am trying to implement my own launcher (making some modifications to the launcher provided by google ). But since i cant remove the default launcher i renamed my package name and everything . Initially the package name was com.android.launcher2 . I changed every instance it to com.rohit.grid . Now if I run it i am getting this error 'Re-installation failed due to different application signatures' .Now the manifest file has some something called com.android.launcher in the permission tags & in the packge name . If i replace it with com.rohit.grid I will get errors in xml files about some resource being not resolved.
I tried cleanoing the project, fixing its properties & everything . But it dint help .
Somebody plz get me out of this problem .
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Rohit
I think 'Re-installation failed due to different application signatures' means that the installer is trying to install an APK with the same name that an installed one, but the problem in this case is that the installed is signed with a different key than yours.
Instead of modifying your manifest try to rename the project and then reinstall.

I am trying to set up the app for the play store and I change the package name in the AndroidManifest.xml file. While making the app build I am getting a warning. I try to find the solution but did not get the right answer.
warn Invalid application's package name "com.bilalyaqoob.Animals" in 'AndroidManifest.xml'.
bilalyaqoob is my name and Animals is app name.
Can you please me what I am doing wrong?
You must changes all package name.
If you use Visual Code you can do this.
I just started working on android open source project and I am trying to modify the settings application but when I am importing it with android studio and trying to compile I get this error
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'.
/app/src/main/res/values-nl/strings.xml: Error: Found item String/sdcard_unmount more than one time
Seems like there are multiple statements of string such as
<string name="sdcard_format" product="nosdcard" msgid="6285310523155166716">"USB-opslag wissen"</string>
<string name="sdcard_format" product="default" msgid="6713185532039187532">"SD-kaart wissen"</string>
It is causing errors, how can it be fixed?
For anyone looking for answers, this other one in SO is much better: Error:Error: Found item String/photoPickerNotFoundText more than one time
you need to change the package name, because u r installing setting app on device which already have the setting app with same package name. you have to import the code modify it and then copy the new src and res directory in to aosp and create the image of android.
I developed my very first android app but when i'm uploading to the Play Store I get the following error:
error
For those not speaking dutch," upload failed, the name of your apk has to be the following format 'com.example.myapp'. I'm guessing I didn't do this but I have no idea how to fix this. I'm using Android Studio 0.6.1
I did search the web but couldn't find a fix.
It is the name of the package of your app i.e bundle identifier. Also example cannot be used in it. For more info: Android - Package Name convention
change the package name
(com.example) is invalid.
use (com.xyz).
xyz means any thing u like but not example
Android Experts, I have installed signed apk (version 1.6) and on my server I've uploaded apk( version 1.7). Now I am facing problem during Update my apk from server.. I also got Dialog box for Updating but at the end I am getting error as
"Parser Error, There is a problem parsing the package." . I found some solution from some links but it doesn't work.
I am waiting for your suggestions, any ideas and your solution.
Thank U.!
You can check following things in your code
1. Already installed Apk name and updated apk name should be same.
2. Both Android Manifest contain same android:minSdkVersion value.
Yeppiee... finally I got my solution.. Actually I put wrong file path during Updating code on "onPostExecute".. So thts why I could not Update my apk and was getting "Parser Error, There is a problem parsing the package"
And One more thing If U r update your apk from server U must have following things:
- installed Apk name and updated apk name should be same.
- Both Android Manifest contain same android:minSdkVersion value.(Here My Android Tablet 4.0.3 and I put minSdkVersion:14)
- And Last If U r using asp.net U must Add .APK MIME Type to IIS - Microsoft Server Support. In IIS there needs to be a MIME type added to allow IIS to support the .APK file type.

When trying to run my application on the emulator I get an error from the activitymanager:
ActivityManager: Error type 3
My activity exists, is listed in the manifest (in fact, its the MAIN launcher activity).
Anyone know what this error means?
If you are running Eclipse try Projects-->Clean... and clean the project before running again.
i faced the same issue. I cleaned the project and removed the android:enabled=false in android manifest. This solved the issue.
Check "android:installLocation" in your AndroidManifest.xml.
"preferExternal" will cause the problem.
I got this error because I used invalid characters in my project name and Android didn't warned me about it so I had no idea that was the problem...
Example: "Thís ís íncorrect!"
nothing to worry about that it happens sometimes when activity manager unable to find activity of your app that means your target that is emulator is not started yet or may be because of following reason:
when you try to run your app on emulator you may be cancled in between building or forcefully closed your emulator.In that case when try to start emulator again it will sometimes not maximized.
now you have to restart your eclipse and then launch emulator and run your app now you will not face this type of error
Dont remember how I fixed this - most probably I wiped the local copy and re-checked out of svn.
ActivityManager: Error type 3
I don't know how true it is, but I used the same shared preferences file from another app..and got this error. I chose a new name for the shared preferences and the problem has gone away. It's working now
I had not enough space on my phone, that's why I had this problem.
So I cleaned it and go RUN )
I got this error when I mistakenly added a second application tag in my manifest as I was trying to add hardware acceleration to my app:
<application
android:hardwareAccelerated="true" />.
I added it above my actual application tag and I think this resulted in Android deploying an empty 'app' to my phone. It reported 'Installation success' in the logs and yet there was no launcher icon. It did appear, though, under Settings -> Apps but the only thing I could do there was to uninstall it. Hope this helps someone.
Thus, it seems there can be many reasons to see this error.
For those who can't fix it using the above mentioned methods:
In my case, i renamed the name of my activity (using F2 in Eclipse) and it is fixed.
