Hi community, I create a game with corona, but when I try to install the apk file ,just create, on my Lg Optimus One, i receive the message: “Application not installed”.

I try to install even some corona example, but I get the same message.

My phone use Android 2.2.

I try to open the apk file and inside it there are no images that my game use.

I have the same problem whit the corona sample codes.

In the apk file I found readme file that says:
“We do not have source code for this project.
We need a “src” directory here so that the Android build for this project can succeed. This file was placed here because Mercurial ignores empty directories.” [import]uid: 44079 topic_id: 19671 reply_id: 319671[/import]

Hi,

Unfortunately, the LG Optimus One is not compatible with the latest builds of Corona. Your phone uses an ARM11 processor which is of the armv6 architecture.
The latest builds of Corona require a processor with armv7 architecture. [import]uid: 70847 topic_id: 19671 reply_id: 76047[/import]

Thank you for your assistance, but I think isn’t that the problem, because i have tryed it on galaxy ace but this problem persists.

Then I try to run it on the android emulator, but this one crashes when I try to install on it.

Thank again.
P.s.: if you know some tutorial on exporting progect to android, it will be nice to see them.

I’m sorry to have to bring you bad news, but the Galaxy Ace also has an ARM11 processor.
The Galaxy Ace is not compatible with Corona SDK either.

You need a phone with a armv7 architecture like The Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S, LG Nitro and LG Optimus.

I can’t install “demo” apps on SGS+, same message - and AFAIK it does have an armv7 architecture CPU. [import]uid: 114529 topic_id: 19671 reply_id: 76671[/import]

If you’re referring to the Samsung Galaxy S Plus, then yes. It has a Snapdragon S2. So it should work.

Why you’re getting an error is difficult to say without more details.
Which build are you using, windows or Mac and how are you transferring the APK to the device for installation?

It’s Windows version, and I transfer the file via dropbox (but I don’t see how it can change anything). [import]uid: 114529 topic_id: 19671 reply_id: 76752[/import]

My problem is solved.

I found thread about Java versions and Corona - with Java 6 all is working.

In fact with Java 7 all is working too - only apps can’t get installed :slight_smile: [import]uid: 114529 topic_id: 19671 reply_id: 77907[/import]
