Problems trying to install APK on Kindle Fire


I'm trying to test my app on a Kindle Fire. I hacked the .ini and .inf files as per the book. My computer sees the kindle but I dismounted (ejected) the kindle and hit the disconnect button on the kindle as per the book's instructions.

I'm new to eclipse but I set the run configuration to "device" and tried to run it.

I got the following errors the console:

[2012-08-15 17:51:19 - PS] Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY

[2012-08-15 17:51:19 - PS] Please check logcat output for more details.

[2012-08-15 17:51:19 - PS] Launch failed on device: 780C002600000001

logcat is huge.

Any idea what could be wrong?


Solution

  • Your test application has a <uses-library> element that references a library that the Kindle Fire does not have. Most likely, you are trying to install an application that uses the Maps add-on, and the Kindle Fire does not have Google Maps.
