Can't install more than one lein-droid app onto my device

[krisc]

I am using the app generated by the Tutorial as a template for my own app. It is exactly the same so far but with changed names (and target sdk "17"). The original app installs and runs just fine. When I run 'lein droid doall' on my copy there is an error on the install step:

Installing APK...
/home/kris/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130522/sdk/platform-tools/adb -s TA30000IVO install -r /home/kris/src/myapp/target/myapp-debug.apk
3731 KB/s (2133932 bytes in 0.558s)
    pkg: /data/local/tmp/myapp-debug.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK]

Abort execution.

I wonder why this happens because it targets the same sdk as the app which does install. Is it because only one lein-droid app can be installed on a single device?

I am using: clojure-android 1.5.1-SNAPSHOT neko 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT lein 2.3.1 java 1.6.0_45

Hi Kris,

I can certainly tell you that you can have more than one Clojure/Android application on your device, so the problem is not in this. Although I've never seen any error like this. What device are you using and what's its Android version?

[krisc]

Motorola Atrix Model Number: MB886 Android Version: 4.1.1

I tried changing the target sdk in project.clj to 16, 17, and then 18, and I get the same error.

[alexander-yakushev]

But it does work with the same project and target-sdk 15, doesn't it?

[krisc]

same error with target-sdk 15...

[alexander-yakushev]

Same here, can you do adb logcat while installing the application and see if there is anything interesting there?

[krisc]

During the Installing APK... part, adb logcat just exits. Here are the last few lines:

I edited my AndroidManifest.xml and changed the minimum SDK version to the version of my phone:

  <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="16" />

Now it works :)

[alexander-yakushev]

Great to hear that! So, what was the value of minimal version, 17?

[krisc]

Yes, it was 17 then I changed it to 16. Do you know if there is a way to deal with this in project.clj or through other lein tools? I couldn't find anything in the docs.

[alexander-yakushev]

Well, by default it gets created with version 15, since now Neko uses Android 4.0+ extensively. I don't want to duplicate anything AndroidManifest.xml provides in project.clj, because AndroidManifest eventually ends up on the device. Also, project.clj specifies target version (which is the version everything is complied with) and minSdkVersion is a minimal version allowed (minSdk can be lower than targetSdk).

Although I should have recognized the error you where having before, this would solve a lot of trouble. Sorry for that.
