Parsing Problem in Android apk file installation - android

I am using androidlive3.0 OS in my virtual box.
I want to install one apk file in that.
I have downloaded that apk file and when I click for installation it is giving me error like "There is some problem in parsing"
How can i solve this problem?

Is your target sdk the level required for Android 3?
Have you exported the apk as a signed APK? You cannot take the apk that is created during development and install it on a device, you need to export (and preferrably sign) it first.

Built apk extension type shows MobogenieAPK ? i dont know why

I built apk in Android studio but its extension shows as Mobogenie apk instead of normal apk.
It's because you have installed mobogenie software on your pc. It's valid apk file. Don't worry about it.
Mobogenie is just your default application to open an apk file. Your apk file is right.

Parse Error : There is a problem parsing the package
Anyone can help me? Thanks!!!
This error can be caused by various reasons, but you can check a few things to make sure you have generated the correct apk file:
Please make sure you have signed the apk file. You can refer to Manually Signing the APK for details about signing an apk file.
Please check the CPU Architectures of your apk file.
If the error persists, please try use adb install apkFileName.apk to install the apk. The error message will be shown if the installation fails. You can find the adb under AndroidSDKFolder\platform-tools\adb.exe.

Android Signed and Unsigned Export Error

I have an developed an android app with minimum API level 9 and Maximum 4.4 Kitkat. When i intent to export the app i tried both of the options provided in Eclipse ADT bundle.I tried the unsigned export it compiled and gave a APK file. I copied the APK file to the SD card and tried to install on my device it said application did not installed..I can't figure out the problem?
Most probably it is caused by different signatures. Try installing it from console, so you can see deatiled error message.
Un-install your app from your phone first, then try.
You cannot install the built app (APK) if you have the debug (Eclipse) version on your phone.
The package names etc conflict, while it thinks the apps are different, due to the test/release signatures so will not let you install it again.

APK file installs when directly build, but not when creating an .apk file by using distribution procedure (Titanium Studio)

I am working on an android application in Titanium. When i do a direct build by clicking Run>Android Emulator, the size of app.apk file generated under "approot/build/android/build" is 8 MB and i could able to copy this file in my device and install.
But when i package and distribute for Android store by choosing Keystore and password, the resultant .apk file size is only 5MB and when i copy this directly to device and try to install. Its actually not getting installed.
Will the app built using distribution process will be this size? please suggest.

Could it be that you are using sdk 1.7? try to switch to the java sdk 1.6.
I found the solution, below are the answer to my question
1) Yes, when app is executed for production the file size will be reduced.
2) After publishing the app to a specific folder, we should be signing the application using below
command
jarsigner -verbose -keystore /home/balan/tmp/KeyStore360/android.keystore myproject.apk androidalias
Thanks for Steelight letting me know about the adb logcat, this helped me to sort out that my apk file missing certificate.

How to create .apk files for Android?

I tried right clicking on my project (in Eclipse) android tools->Export unsigned application package.
I then moved to .apk file to my Samsung Galaxi S device and tried to install it,
I got a message saying the app was not installed.
Did I do something wrong in creating the .apk (what could be the problem)?
Check this doc.
If you want to install the application with debug key then you need device driver(Kies in your case) installed on your development machine. Then attach your device to your machine through USB port. Close emulator and run your Android application on your device using Eclipse. The signing procedure mentioned in previous answers is mandatory only when you are uploading your application on Android Market.
you should Export signed Apk file:
