Thank you. That provided the hint I needed to figure out what was happening. It turns out that if your Eclipse project name has a space in it, there's no problem whatsoever before you sign the .apk; after you sign it, though, it won't install. Something breaks when there's a space in the project

Dianne, Thank you. That worked like a charm. The first time the app runs - onCreating the database - I try to get a context from the other version, and if it exists I basically copy all the databasebase tables. The same context gets me the other version's shared preferences. --~--~-~--~-

The only reason to download it myself from Android Market is to make sure other people can do it. How can I be sure it's only MY phone that can't install it on, and users won't be impacted? I'm not sure what you mean by forward-locking status. Do you mean the copy protection publishing option? It

I emailed you the name of the app. logcat simply says: I/vending ( 186): com.android.vending.AssetDownloader $DownloadManagerBroadcastReceiver $MyPackageInstallObserver.packageInstalled(): Package install from content://downloads/download/329 failed: Package file was not signed correctly. Givi

I already did have the app installed through Eclipse. Before uploading the app, I exported the apk, then signed it with jarsigner. I also tried adb uninstall before downloading; no luck there either. How about my other questions? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received

Suppose you upload a paid app and you want to test if it works correctly when downloaded from Android Market - do you pay for it? Are your own apps free to you? And to download it from the market, do you have to make it visible to the whole world? I tried to upload an app, the uploader accepts i

I tried that, and it didn't seem to work. In both manifests, I specified: android:sharedUserId="org.mydomain.projectname" But no luck. >From the documentation, I think the only thing it does is make the two processes run under the same user ID, but you still have to do something else to make one

Suppose you have an app with a lite version and a full version. The app stores some user data in SharedPreferences, and some data in a SQL database. If a user tests the app for a few days, generating data all the time, and then decides to switch to the paid version, how do you copy or share the d
