Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY

Question

"Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY

Please check logcat output for more details."

Problem is: There is no output at all in the LogCat output. Further this is not about some Google Maps library, which most questions here on SO are about[1]: I'm trying to make use of my own library project.

my main project has following namespace: net.microtrash.cutoutcam

my library project has following namespaces, which I have referenced in the main app's manifest file:

<uses-library android:name="net.microtrash.lib" />
<uses-library android:name="net.microtrash.lib.button" />
<uses-library android:name="net.microtrash.cutoutcam.lib" />

Any ideas, why this error might happen?

Answer 1

my library project has following namespaces, which I have referenced in the main app's manifest file:

Unless you built your own phone, or at least your own firmware, you do not have any of those libraries. You do not use <uses-library> for Android library projects.

Answer 2

The only solution which I have discovered is that whenever non-compatible Emulator is used for running Maps related Application, this problem always occurs. Simple solution is to run application on Google API emulator.

Answer 3

I removed the <uses-library> tag for google-play-services, but I had <uses-library> tag for google maps as follows :

<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps"/>

It worked. Most answers in Stackoverflow are with respect to Google-Maps v1. But I had this problem in Google-Maps-v2 and this trick fixed.
