Error when installing Android apk on device


I have this strange error when installing apk on device, from Eclipse. The console gives error message: Failed to install, but in fact the file is installed.

Also, the application doesn't start after the installation, I have to do it manually.

I have done the this same procedure over and over again, without problems, but now the error occurs.

Thanks!


Solution

  • I've found that sometimes a device gets stuck in a strange state, and no matter what you do will give odd errors on install. Turning the device itself on and off again usually cures the problem.
