POInvalid APK file when installing on my phone
text
Body
copied!<p>I have been working on a project for 3 months now, and everything was working.</p> <p>Since yesterday however, Eclipse won't let me install my application on my phone. The application compiles fine, but when I try to run the program I get this error :</p> <pre><code>Installation failed due to invalid APK file! Please check logcat output for more details. Launch canceled! </code></pre> <p>I have been looking for that error in Google and most people said it was a version problem. I set the uses-sdk version to 10, which is the platform on which I develop (and it has always worked before !).</p> <p>When I check the logcat, I get this :</p> <pre><code>02-07 10:15:20.742: W/PackageParser(15356): Unable to read AndroidManifest.xml of /data/local/tmp/App.apk 02-07 10:15:20.742: W/PackageParser(15356): java.io.FileNotFoundException: AndroidManifest.xml 02-07 10:15:20.742: W/PackageParser(15356): at android.content.res.AssetManager.openXmlAssetNative(Native Method) 02-07 10:15:20.742: W/PackageParser(15356): at android.content.res.AssetManager.openXmlBlockAsset(AssetManager.java:486) 02-07 10:15:20.742: W/PackageParser(15356): at android.content.res.AssetManager.openXmlResourceParser(AssetManager.java:454) 02-07 10:15:20.742: W/PackageParser(15356): at android.content.pm.PackageParser.parsePackageLite(PackageParser.java:601) 02-07 10:15:20.742: W/PackageParser(15356): at com.android.defcontainer.DefaultContainerService$1.getMinimalPackageInfo(DefaultContainerService.java:138) 02-07 10:15:20.742: W/PackageParser(15356): at com.android.internal.app.IMediaContainerService$Stub.onTransact(IMediaContainerService.java:100) 02-07 10:15:20.742: W/PackageParser(15356): at android.os.Binder.execTransact(Binder.java:320) 02-07 10:15:20.742: W/PackageParser(15356): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.run(Native Method) 02-07 10:15:20.781: W/DefContainer(15356): Failed to parse package 02-07 10:15:20.789: W/PackageParser(15356): Unable to read AndroidManifest.xml of /data/local/tmp/App.apk 02-07 10:15:20.789: W/PackageParser(15356): java.io.FileNotFoundException: AndroidManifest.xml 02-07 10:15:20.789: W/PackageParser(15356): at android.content.res.AssetManager.openXmlAssetNative(Native Method) 02-07 10:15:20.789: W/PackageParser(15356): at android.content.res.AssetManager.openXmlBlockAsset(AssetManager.java:486) 02-07 10:15:20.789: W/PackageParser(15356): at android.content.res.AssetManager.openXmlResourceParser(AssetManager.java:454) 02-07 10:15:20.789: W/PackageParser(15356): at android.content.pm.PackageParser.parsePackageLite(PackageParser.java:601) 02-07 10:15:20.789: W/PackageParser(15356): at com.android.defcontainer.DefaultContainerService$1.getMinimalPackageInfo(DefaultContainerService.java:138) 02-07 10:15:20.789: W/PackageParser(15356): at com.android.internal.app.IMediaContainerService$Stub.onTransact(IMediaContainerService.java:100) 02-07 10:15:20.789: W/PackageParser(15356): at android.os.Binder.execTransact(Binder.java:320) 02-07 10:15:20.789: W/PackageParser(15356): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.run(Native Method) 02-07 10:15:20.828: W/DefContainer(15356): Failed to parse package </code></pre> <p>I got the apk file from the bin folder, and when unziped it I found my AndroidManifest.xml inside it. I then checked the error status in Eclipse, and it says that Eclipse "Can't find file D:\xxx\xxx\xxx\AndroidManifest.xml in workspace". I also get the same error with a few xml layouts of the same project. However I can see, open, edit and save those files in Eclipse, so I find it a bit odd that it could not find them.</p> <p>Last thing, yesterday I could install my app again after doing a clean project AND restarting Eclipse, but it does not seem to work anymore and it is not a good solution (I can't make a clean and restart Eclipse every time I modify my code !).</p> <p>Did you ever encountered this problem ? How could I solve it ?</p> <p>Thanks !</p>
