I'm trying to test a test app I developed on android 2.2 sdk on my htc phone with Froyo on it (2.2).
In the emulator it works fine, when I export as unsigned app and try to install on the phone, it doesn't allow me, just telling me 'application non installed'.
The phone has the settings to accept installation of non android application, so I'm not sure why I can't test on it.
Is it because it's not signed?
Any idea?
Thx fellas
You're mistaking "run non-market apps" with "run unsigned apps". Android apps need to be signed, unless you have a very vile ROM that circumvents this check.
Sign the app, or run it through Eclipse (which auto-signs it with a debug key).
Run in from Eclipse, it will install just fine.

As I have stated in the title I'm struggling with .apk I cannot install application on my phone I'm getting app not installed. But when installing via usb I'm able to install application on the emulator phone. It’s always showing App Not Installed on mobile phone.
When I run application via AndroidStudio to USB the application has been installed. I do not know where I should looking for issues. May be someone had the similat issue.
There are two things you can try:
First of all build your apk by Build/Build Bundles/Build APK and not just by creating apk as a side effect of simply running the app under Android Studio
Make sure no other flavors are installed on your device - sometimes devices offer "Uninstall for all users" - that's what you should be looking for.
I have created an unsigned apk for my nexus 7. When I try and install it, the device pops up with, "App Not Installed". In the Eclipse emulator everything works fine. I have tried to alter my target to 4.2,4.3,4.4. Again, all work in the emulator but not on the device, the device is running 4.3.
An unsigned application cannot be installed. You should sign it with jarsigner tool (provided by Android SDK tools)
The important points to understand about signing Android applications
are:
All applications must be signed. The system will not install an application on an emulator or a device if it is not signed.
See http://developer.android.com/tools/publishing/app-signing.html
Two ways to solve this
1.Signing the apk (which is preferable)
2.Take apk from bin instead of taking unsigned then instead of replacing the app, un-install existing app and install it
I made a android application on my pc. I kept the build sdk at 4.1, and minimum sdk version at 2.2
The app ran fine on the emulator but when i tried it on my friends Samsung Note it after installing gave an error "Application Not installed". I did so on Google Nexux 7.
I exported the app as a unsigned apk
I tried a simple hello world ap but had the same problem. Please help what to do and how to correct the error.
you need to sign the app to make it run on a real device.. simple choose export as a signed apk and sign it with a keystore...if you don't have one you can make a new keystore through same wizard that you get at the time of exporting
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:

I am a newbie to Android world and started learning it few days back. I developed a sample application Using Eclipse and ADT pluggin. Checked it on Emulator, it's working. But when I exported that App as *.apk and tried to install it in my phone (Samsung Galaxy S running 2.2) ... it gives error that "Application not installed"
Can somebody throw some light on this ?
If the one on your device is signed with another key (e.g., debug), you
won't be able to install the other one over the top. You're not allowed to replace an application with another that has a conflicting signature. Uninstall the old APK, then try again.
I'm a newbie too & i had the same issue.Just uninstalled the previous app, and freshly exported a new apk file with keystore information. Then i was able to install it the newer version.
Did you enable "Unknown Sources" in the Applications Settings menu on your phone?
