Phil, Kostya and Arjun, Thanks for the replies. After reading your suggestions, I tried two approaches for two different Apps. These might help someone who encounter a similar problem.
Here is what happened: Approach 1, App A: When I tried to install the downloaded app, it threw me a message "All the previous data will be removed...", and the downloaded app won't install. So, I thought of uninstalling the app, but I didn't see the app in the Applications. So, I installed the app using Eclipse platform and then uninstalled it from the phone. Now, when I downloaded it from my website and then tried to install again on the device, the app is installed. Result: Success Approach 2, App B: I tried the Approach -1 for another app, App B. Eclipse threw an error "Re-installation failed due to different application signatures" , "You must perform a full uninstall of the application". I did not see the app on the mobile device to uninstall. So, I had to execute "adb uninstall com.package_name", which uninstalled the app. Now, when I downloaded it from my website and then tried to install on the device, the app is installed. Result: Success Thanks again, Venkata On Sep 8, 4:59 pm, Phill Wiggin <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, Sep 8, 2010 at 5:54 PM, venkata raidu <[email protected]>wrote: > > > > > Hi all, > > I was getting the error "Application not installed", when I tried > > to download a simple application(developed by me). > > > Here is the process I followed: > > > 1.
