"App not installed." - Solved

[DR White]

I did the simple "Hello World" stack.
I set my "Standalone Application Settings" to "Android"
I tested it with the AVD emulator. Worked fine.
I pressed the "save as standalone application"
I moved the ".akp" file to my galaxy 10 notebook.
I installed it with android "Package Installer"
I pressed "Install"
3 seconds later I get "App not installed." ( I did this like 6 times)
Did I miss some steps?
Is there anything I need to do concerning changing the setup of the "Standalone Application Settings", like the signing or key?
I am running windows 7, is that a problem?

I am dead-In-the-water.
Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks,

David

Hi David,
I had that once, it was caused by me using a "-" in the Identifier field of the standalone settings.
Here is the original that works:
com.yourcompany.yourapp

Also make sure you have included everything you need in the standalone app setting e.g. revZip, SQLite, Internet, Camera etc.

But I think there can be many other reasons for the problem.

Simon,

The stack I was trying to get to work in the android environment, was the simple "Hello World" stack.

It worked with the LC "Test" under the Development menu using the AVD

I used all the default settings. I did not change anything.

Was I suppose to do other things to make it work?

How do I find out what other reasons could be keeping it from working?

Thanks,

David

Hi David,
I just made a Hello World stack from scratch.
Selected Android in the standalone settings and signed with my key, didn't change any other settings.
Emailed it to myself and it installed a ran fine on my device.

Hi David,
Just sideloaded an Android app onto my Galaxy Note 8.0 without issues.
Using LC 6.1
Only changes in Android prefs were "Sign for development only" and Minimum Android Version set to 2.3.3
Do you have the 1.6 or 1.7 JDK installed?
The 1.7 JDK doesn't work for me at present...

Paul,

Halleluiah!!!!!!!!!

You are the GREATEST!!!

You have succeeded, where all others have failed (all though I thank them for trying).

Making your suggested changes, made all the difference in the world!

The test program "Hello World" worked.

The BEST thing is that my project worked!!!!

You have made me a believer that LiveCode really works!

Thank You ever SOO MUCH!!
