A few days ago I started having troubles while trying to install a .apk on my Galaxy S2. I select my phone as the target, click OK and in the Console get the following error:
Failed to install AvatarRun.apk on device 'device number': timeout Launch canceled!
Without changing anything in code and running again I can also get the error:
Failed to install AvatarRun.apk on device 'device number': device not found com.android.ddmlib.InstallException: device not found Launch canceled!
I have tried opening a command window and navigating to android-sdk\platform-tools and running:
adb kill-server adb start-server
This did not fix the issue.
This seems to just be a coincidence, but after failing many times I changed the minimum SDK in the Manifest from 10 to 7 and the .apk loaded on the next try, but has worked intermitently since and generates the same errors.
Can anyone suggest a method for finding what is causing this error?
After trying the fixes mentioned above, I ended up installing and reinstalling the Galaxy drivers. This didn't help. What eventually worked (so far) was to switch which USB port the Galaxy is plugged into. Once I did this everything was functioning as it should.
