Android sdk failed to install apk

What does «Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK]» mean in Android Studio?

I got this Froyo (2.2) device that I am using to make an app. When I try to run the app directly to the device it shows an error saying

and in another window there’s an error saying

What seem to make the said errors?

AndroidManifest.xml

After I changed

in build.gradle file.

Means that you’re trying to install an app that has a higher minSdkVersion specified in its manifest than the device’s API level. Change that number to 8 and it should work. I’m not sure about the other error, but it may be related to this one.

Besides checking the right minSdkVersion in build.gradle , make sure you have installed all necessary tools and correct SDK Platform for your preferred Android Version in SDK Manager . In Android Studio klick on Tools -> Android -> SDK Manager. Then install at minimum (for Android 2.2 without emulator):

• Android SDK Tools
• Android SDK Platform-tools
• Android SDK Build-tools (latest)
• Android 2.2 (API 8)
  • SDK Platform
  • Google APIs

Try Uninstalling the APK that you already installed.

You should remove the previously installed application and use the software to clean up the rest of the application.

It seems to be the previously installed application and caused the cache to be unable to continue.

I have tried many ways and the simplest way to fix it is to restart your phone or virtual machine

I got the Solution.

Create New Folder in any other drive, and copy the folder one by one from older sdk to new sdk folder, and take build each time you paste the folder.

In my case there is an extra folder is corrupted and found like this , and i removed that folder and it works fine now.

I had a problem installing the APK to my device after clicking «Build and Run» in the Build Settings. The build completed successfully, but I was getting the error, Unable to install APK to device , but it was resolved by updating Unity Hub. In the Unity Hub menu, there was a notification at the top saying an update was available. After I updated Unity Hub, I was able to install the APK and run my game on my phone successfully.

Failed to install *.apk on device ’emulator-5554′: EOF

The project I tried to run is set to minSDK level 7. I have gotten the above error message when running Android virtual device-5554(the other devices work well). It is working so slowly, and taking too much time to get home screen not even run. At the end, it gives this error :

Failed to install *.apk on device ’emulator-5554′: EOF

I restarted my computer and Eclipse several times, as well as clean projects. I also tried this Why is the Android emulator so slow? How can we speed up the Android emulator? to get it fixed. Yesterday, it was working pretty well. Now it is so sluggish.

Any suggestion or help? Thank you

I’ve ran into this problem many times. Try each of these steps after each step run the APK file if it doesn’t work move to the next step:

1. Run it again. (simply try rerunning it).
2. Project->Clean (clean the project plus any projects that it relies on).
3. Right click project in the package explorer then close it. Then close Eclipse. Then reopen both.
4. Same as the previous step plus Project->Clean.
5. Restart the AVD.
6. Delete the AVD. Then go into the folder that holds the AVD in the Android-Sdk folder and delete anything with the AVD’s name (a file plus a folder). You may have to restart your computer to get it to delete. Create a new AVD.

Run the next command:

Is possible that drawn the next messages DeviceMonitor]Connection attempts: 1 DeviceMonitor]Connection attempts:2

Solution:

1. Start emulator (separately) and wait until it is fully loaded.
2. Open keylock.
3. Navigate to Eclipse and run your app.

Cause of the problem: Android emulator hasn’t loaded all its libraries which handle the installing of a new application and due to that you run into java.io.IOException: EOF

That was causing me the problem.

you could try this:

It worked for me. I tried this on an emulator in eclipse. It takes a while before the app is run. For me it took 33 seconds. Wait until the message in the console says «Success!»

When it shows the red writing — the error , don’t close the emulator — leave it as is and run the application again.

Android SDK Manager Not Installing Components

Not sure what I’m doing wrong here. I installed the Android SDK Manager, and am now trying to install a platform like the Android Dev website suggests. Once I clicked install I got an error stating that the Manager could not create a temp folder within the Android directory. So I created it. Now I’m getting this error:

Downloading SDK Platform Android 2.3, API 9, revision 1 File not found: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\temp\android-2.3_r01-linux.zip (Access is denied)

There is also a little message under the progress bar that says «Done. Nothing was installed.»

I’m running Windows 7 Ultimate, in case that’s of any use.

Try running Android Studio as an administrator, by right-clicking on the .exe and selecting «Run As Administrator».

Also, some anti-virus programs have been known to interfere with SDK Manager.

I was getting a similar permission issue and SDK Manager could not download and install new components. Error message was (I’m running Android Studio (I/O Preview) 0.2.9)

«Unable to create C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio\sdk\temp»

Although solution was infact what @william-tate’s answer says, I could not run the ‘SDK Manager’ directly. It fails with message:

Failed to execute tools\android.bat The system cannot find the file specified.

Instead I ran the ‘tools\android.bat’ as Administrator, which in turn launched SDK Manager with same permissions which fixed the issue.

Hope this helps for someone who faces the issue I faced.

In Mac OS X (tried with Android Studio), do the following in Terminal

This launches SDK manager as admin. Now update/install the packages from SDK manager and it’ll work.

For Android Studio, selecting «Run As Administrator» while starting Android Studio helps.

In my case I had to specify proxy settings in Tools->Options.

I had same problem when I try to install it on my pc (Win7, 64-bit system). I had an error message shown in figure below. But when I check my local folder ‘C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk’, the Android SDK is already there. Somehow Android studio could not see/link it.

So please check first whether you can find the Android SDK in the local folder. If yes, just follow the next steps.

1. Chose ‘Cancel’ and click on ‘X’ on the top right corner.
2. Chose ‘Do not re-run the setup wizard’ and click ‘OK’
3. Start Android Studio again and go ‘Configure’—>’Project Defaults’ —> ‘Project Structure’
4. Add ‘C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk’ to ‘Android Location’ and click ‘OK’
5. Click on ‘Start a new Android Studio project’.

You can simply drag and drop the .apk file of your application to the emulator and it will automatically start installing.

Windows:

1. Execute the emulator (SDK Manager.exe->Tools->Manage AVDs. ->New then Start)
2. Start the console (Windows XP), Run -> type cmd, and move to the platform-tools folder of SDK directory.
3. Paste the APK file in the ‘android-sdk\tools’ or ‘platform-tools’ folder.
4. Then type the following command.

adb install C:\Users\Name\MyProject\build\Jorgesys.apk

Linux:

1. Copy the apk file to platform-tools in the android-sdk linux folder.
2. Open Terminal and navigate to platform-tools folder in android-sdk.
3. Then Execute this command —

1. If the operation is successful (the result is displayed on the screen), then you will find your file in the launcher of your emulator.

Mac:

1.Run the emulator,

2.then copy your .apk file and paste into /Users/your_system_username/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools ,
if you are not able to find sdk path in your mac system, do the following steps: Open finder->select Go option on top menu -> select Go to Folder option -> it will popup a window with a textfield: /Users/your_system_username/Library/Android/sdk/ -> now open platform-tools folder and paste your copied .apk file,

Now open the terminal and type the following: cd Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools

execute the following in your terminal: ./adb install yourapkfilename.apk if you get the following error message: error: no devices found — waiting for device , follow step 5.

Run your emulator from Android Studio, once emulator active then repeat step 4, you will see the success message on your terminal.

If you’ve created more than one emulators or if you have an Android device plugged in, adb will complain with

adb help is not extremely clear on what to do:

The flag you decide to use has to come before the actual adb command:

Nowadays, you can simply drag and drop the Android apk to the emulator and it will automatically starts installing.

5. Select an android image that you want to install on your device. (If you cannot see any images you can download the require image from Recommended, x86 Images or Other images)
6. Add a name to your AVD.
7. Now the virtual device has been created and you can simply run it by clicking the play button.
8. Now you have setup the virtual device and now you need to install the APK file.
9. Download the APK file that you want to install and Drag and Drop it to the emulator.
