My app was installing just fine... installing and reinstalling for testing, etc. But now it won't install anymore... and Android Studio says,
Application Installation Failed
Installation failed with message Failed to
finalize session :
INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK: Split
lib_slice_3_apk was defined multiple times.
It is possible that this issue is resolved by
uninstalling an existing version of the apk if it is
present, and then re-installing.
WARNING: Uninstalling will remove the
application data!
Do you want to uninstall the existing
application?
[CANCEL] [OK]
I tried uninstalling the app from my phone, but it still won't re-install.
Also, I tried installing it fresh on an emulator where it had never been installed before, and that did not work either.
I suppose I must have inadvertently messed up some compile-related setting that I don't understand (but I haven't been doing anything like that). I don't have a knowledge of the compile process, and pretty much depend on Android Studio to do that.
I have been working on a "sister" app to this one... where I copied some libraries (.jar files such as zixng.jar from [project root]\app\libs) from this app to the other app. And that other app is installed on my phone also... but then again, it's not on the emulator... so I guess that's not the problem. Merp.
Thanks for any suggestions or possible explanations.
Try to clean & then Rebuild the project again. To do so please go to Build menu, both the tools are present their.
If issue not solved with that than try to invalidate caches & restart Android Studio from File menu -> Invalidate Caches/Restart.
Suddenly my Android Studio project can't run anymore. Either from the "play" button or Run/Run 'app'. When I click them nothing happens. No errors, nothing.
This started happening after I installed the 1.2 Android Studio update, but then downgraded to 1.1 again and the problem still exists.
I can't remember doing any other changes other than installing the AS 1.2 update.
How can I fix this? Is there any other way to run a project?
Just restarting Android Studio worked for me.
Resolved by deleting the existing run configuration and created a new one with the same settings. I can only guess the run configuration was somewhow corrupted by the Android Studio update.
Even i was facing the same issue, after digging into AndroidStuido i tried going to SDK Manager and installed the suggested the install packages (shows in install button with 'Install(1) Package') ..after installing that now i am able to run my app...
i think some SDK was not uptodate or might not installed properly..so try this!
No answer worked for me. So I tried to Invalidate and Restart and it worked well.
Just go to File -> Invalidate caches/Restart... Click Invalidate and Restart button.
In my case restarting the device worked.
When I start Android Studio, it shows popup regarding new update of 1.1 release. But when I start updating, After downloading all patch files, while restarting, it shows following error:
I searched almost everywhere on Google and Stackoverflow. There are already two questions on so: this and this. But none of them are have any correct answer. I also tried running as administrator, restarting PC, turning off the firewall, uninstalling antivirus. But none of them worked.
I am using windows 7 32-bit. How to solve this problem? Can anyone help?
I know this is an older question but I encountered the same error while updating SDK components in Android Studio 2.3.3. I was able to fix the problem by starting the SDK manager and un-checking the components that showed the error and clicked "Apply". That un-installed just that component. When it was finished, I re-checked the component and clicked "Apply" again. When it was finished, the problematic component was updated to the newest version. This was much quicker than doing a full un-install/re-install as stated in one of the solutions above.
Hope this helps someone.
This is another option, it is not much easier than reinstalling but at least you don't have to worry about your settings getting lost
Go to help->about and note the version you currently have installed
Download zip file for your current version at https://developer.android.com/studio/archive
Manually overwrite conflicted files with files from zip
Update normally
I had a similar problem on some other files and could not figure it out.
You should download the last Android Studio version and remove the old one.
It appears like the only way to bypass this error and successfully update Android Studio is to uninstall and reinstall it.
Before uninstalling, make a backup of your IDE settings through File | Export Settings.
Download the "No SDK tools included" exe from the Other Downloads section. Avoid using download accelerators as they often mess up the downloads from https://dl.google.com .
In the Install Wizard, you may uncheck to update AVD if you use Genymotion and don't need Google's Android emulator.
Use the JetBrains Toolbox for Android Studio update, problem solved. No need to mess with the file permissions. Especially on company devices.
I had this issue on Ubuntu 18.04 when tried to update Android Studio from 3.4 to 3.5 version. I have changed Android Studio directory's ownership to my user:
sudo chown -R <username> /opt/android-studio
It resolved all but one errors for me, because I still had a jre/bin/java - Access Denied error, which I have resolved by killing its process:
# The second column of this command's output is PID.
ps -aux | grep /opt/android-studio/jre/bin/java
kill <PID>
It might also happen that you need to logout and and re login as admin user in your system.
Update the Android studio [in admin user].
Re login as a previous user.
You should check the JDK Location settings, which appears be changed on every Android Studio update, with commands ctrl + Alt + Shift + S (to reveal the Project Structure menu options, and uncheck the Use embedded JDK and find your current JDK Location, on windows machines, you can see that location on environment variables JAVA_HOME.
There is a workaround, try deleting or moving the files that are causing the conflicts to another folder when the Update starts NOT BEFORE! That worked for me.
I know this is a very old question, but I face this issue almost every time I try to update my studio. Only solution I know which works for sure is clean install of studio....which is time consuming. So the solution is when you get to know the name of the file, search the location of that folder containing specified file. Check if that folder has lock icon on it, if it has then change the sharing settings to everyone and share the folder. If it does not have the lock icon on the folder check if it is in read-only mode. This worked for me hopefully someone finds this useful.
Cheers.
I had a similar problem. What I did was to make sure of the whole folder's ownership. For some reason, some files where owned by root, so I changed it to my ownership. In linux you can use the followoing command on the Android Studio folder:
sudo chown yourusername:yourusername -R android-studio-folder
I just tried again and everything updated successfully. Hope it helps!
The only solution worked for me is I have reinstalled Android Studio the latest version without uninstalling manually it and when starting the installer it asked me to uninstall and said that your settings will not be lost so I checked the uninstall and everything went smooth without any problems and got the latest version installed and all my settings the same.
I had this symptom when updating from Android Studio 3.4.2 to 3.5.
In my case, the affected file was plugins/Kotlin/kotlinc/bin/kotlinc.
The cause turned out to be that while the file's contents had not been modified at all... the Unix permissions bits on it had been.
Specifically, this was a file that comes as non-executable, and I had at some point chmod'd it to executable (because it should be) in order to use it from the command line.
The fix was to set those permissions bits back, with chmod:
$ chmod a-x /PATH/TO/android-studio/plugins/Kotlin/kotlinc/bin/*
This probably isn't a super common cause for this symptom, but hopefully it will be helpful to someone else. :-) I certainly didn't remember making that change, though once I spotted it I know exactly why I made it.
You can found the files in the android-sdk folder, and delete those files, and check your permission of the folder(android-sdk, build-tools, tools), if your can write, and download again.
I solve the issue.
I had the same error when upgrading from 3.1.x to 3.5.x. What worked for me was downloading the new Android Studio image from https://developer.android.com/studio and installing it (when asking me if I want to replace the old version I said yes). Everything seems to work fine now.
I also had the same error when upgrading from 3.5 to 3.6, I managed to solve this without losing any sdk platforms and virtual machines in avd by installing the latest version of android,First Export the settings and then delete the two folders ".AndroidStudio3.x" in home directory and the "android-studio" in /usr/local or /opt directory, then download the zip file of latest version of android studio and move the "android-studio" folder to /usr/local or /opt. Now run the /android-studio/bin/studio.sh and import the settings,Now Latest version will be installed.
I got this error when I was trying to upgrade Android Studio using a different user account to the account that installed Android Studio (the account had admin privileges). When I switched to the account which installed Android Studio I was able to upgrade without this problem happening.
I have had a similar issue and solved it. Some documents were encrypted by the software installed on my PC, so updating to Android Studio 3.6 was not possible (in fact every update I have the same issue).
To solve it, just find those files in the Android Studio installation folder (probably Program Files/Android) and decrypt it. After that, you should be good to go. I hope it helps!
Although Resharper is great, but how to install plugin for it is not immediately obvious. There is a Resharper Gallery which is based on nuget. But how do I install a plugin? No instructions. Could someone help me out here? I am using the Resharper 8.1 with VS2012.
Got it. There is an extension manager in the "Resharper" menu. That should do.
If you have plugin DLL locally on your box then run following command:
devenv.exe /ReSharper.Plugin PluginName.dll
To check if plugin is installed go to Resharper->Options->Plugins menu.
You might need to provide full path to devenv.exe and to your plugin.
Hi guys my VS2012 installation started Hanging up with a VS2012 busy ballon in the Taskbar. This happens when I try to add some new Class or Controller in a MVC project. I reset VS2012 which didnt work. Then I uninstalled all Extension and it was working. Now all my other Extensions are reinstalled and working with the VS2012 installation perfectly except NUGET Package Manager. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue.
Have you tried uninstall nuget package manager from Tools -> Extension and Update? After uninstall, restart Visual studio to make it take effect. Then you can install nuget package manager again from the Tools -> Extension and Update -> online tab.
