After I remove the apk, whenever I start Debug it tells me the package is not installed

Question

I have my Emulator open, and using Command Prompt I remove my application. I didn't closed the Emulator.

Then I go to Eclipse and hit Debug, but doesn't deploy the apk to the emulator, just tells me the package not yet registered with the system.

New package not yet registered with the system. Waiting 3 seconds before next attempt.

Restarting the emulator is not an option, as that takes 10-15 minutes.

What I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

I have encountered this occasionally. Doing a clean project before rebuilding and redeploying seems to do the trick.

Answer 2

This is eclipse (the point is eclipse can not run your app because can not start the right intent because can not find the right package) and one of the workaround of this is to rename your package in the manifest for example rename

package="com.hernblog.GreenThumbs" 

to

package="com.hernblog.GreenThumbs1"

compile and build this, then put it back to the name you wanted

package="com.hernblog.GreenThumbs"

works as a charm :)

Answer 3

Clean and re-build may not help. So, in that case remove the app from your device. Then re-run your project on your device. That will help.
