Android Question Error installing file to device

[DrAlex]

Hello,

For several months I was successfully using an HTC One to debug my program. All of the sudden today I cannot install the file to device.

I get the following error:

4A version: 5.50
Parsing code. (0.11s)

Installing file to device. Error
pkg: /data/local/tmp/RootsNOffspring_RAPID_DEBUG.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UID_CHANGED]

I have built a new build configuration. Then the error has changed to INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT. Then I have restarted ADB, and the error became INSTALL_FAILED_UID_CHANGED again.

Did you try to unstill the app before, other options are to rename the app, or to clean the project ...if you use an AVD then I would build a complete new one...

 

[DrAlex]

Tried all this. After I have renamed the project, got INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT.

Why can't I find directory /data/local/tmp? ASTRO does not show directory /data at all (although Show Hidden Files is checked). In Windows Explorer I see "Computer\HTC One X\Internal storage\data", but it contains only subdirectory "data". There is no "local".

 

[Erel]

The internal folders are private. Only the app can access these folders.

Check the unfiltered logs and see whether there is any error message there during installation.

Hello Erel,

Yes, there are error messages, but I cannot copy them. "Copy all to clipboard fails" with "OpenClipboard failed". Instead, I am sending a screenshot.

 

[Erel]

but I cannot copy them. "Copy all to clipboard fails" with "OpenClipboard failed"

There might be another process that is locking the clipboard.

Have you tried to restart your device?

 

[DrAlex]

There might be another process that is locking the clipboard.

Have you tried to restart your device?

I have restarted both the device and the Windows, but the error persists.

 

[Erel]

Have you tried to create a new empty project and run it?

 

[DrAlex]

Have you tried to create a new empty project and run it?

Just tried it, it runs!

 

[Erel]

Which version of Android are you running on the HTC device?

Try to add the libraries from the other project and see whether it works or not.

 

[DrAlex]

I did what you said, and the project stopped working when I added Phone library (Version 2.27).

I am trying two devices:

HTC One, Android 4.2.2
HTC Desire 816, Android 5.0.2

The results are identical.

 

[Erel]

I've tested it on a HTC Once running Android 4.0.2 and it worked properly.

Are you able to install B4A-Bridge on your devices?

 

[DrAlex]

I could install B4A-Bridge. I tried to run the project using the bridge with and without the Phone library. Without Phone, the project runs. With Phone, I get a message on the device, "App not installed".

 

[Erel]

B4A-Bridge includes the Phone library. So I'm not sure that the phone library is the issue.

Try to reinstall B4A into a new folder.

 

[DrAlex]

Shall I uninstall B4A first?

 

[Erel]

It doesn't matter.

 

[DrAlex]

I have uninstalled B4A and reinstalled it to a different folder.

I have tried to run the sample program (actually, a MySQL example, which I had once downloaded from the B4A site), with the Phone library:

USB Debugging - Failed
B4A-Bridge - Success

Afterwards I tried my program. It failed in both debugging modes.

Then I returned to the sample program. Now it also fails in both debugging modes!

 

[Erel]

You are the only one who encountered this problem. If you can try to test it with a different device.

 

[DrAlex]

I have tried it with HTC Desire 816 (Android 5.0.2). Same problem.
