Android problems

I am new to building apps for android. Just got pro yesterday in fact. I keep having this problem when I try to install to some devices. I get a message that says “Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK]” I have tried other install methods and I get the same results. This is how I am installing:

Ok I *think* I solved the problem. The Android device I am testing is a LG Ally and if I am correct it has a ARMv6 processor which is incompatible with Corona sdk. Unfortunately if I am correct I am going to have to buy a new Android device to test on. Anybody want to confirm my results? [import]uid: 104852 topic_id: 25350 reply_id: 102361[/import]

Hey Chandler,

Best I can tell that isn’t ARMv7 and also it appears to ship with Android 2.1 and I can’t find info on whether or not it’s easily upgradeable. (I’m sure it probably is, in Australia we tend to have a harder time with that with some devices though so I do not like to assume.) [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 25350 reply_id: 102383[/import]

Hey Chandler,

Basically, in one word, yes. You will have to buy an ARMv7 device to test it on. I had the same problem with my phone (Samsung galaxy Apollo). Even if you update your android os to 2.2, you will still need an ARMv7 processor :frowning:

Hope this helps.

Just to mention, as I do in all these “have to get a new Android” threads - HTC Incredible S is fairly cheap in most countries and is ARMv7 and 2.2 out of the box so may be one option. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 25350 reply_id: 102486[/import]

Thanks for the confirmation. I will look into buying another device or keep stealing my friends devices. Until then I am looking for people to test out my app on the forums.
