android - INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT error when trying to install application

Question

I have a similar problem to the ones listed here and here.

I am getting an INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT error every time I try to install my app on my Motorola Xoom.

Here is the error message from the console:

[2011-08-02 09:34:43 - Blade] Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT
[2011-08-02 09:34:43 - Blade] Please check logcat output for more details.
[2011-08-02 09:34:43 - Blade] Launch canceled!

And here is the corresponding logcat:

08-02 09:47:48.910: ERROR/PackageManager(142): Package com.theisenp.blade has mismatched uid: 10023 on disk, 10073 in settings

08-02 09:47:50.160: WARN/PackageManager(142): Package couldn't be installed in /data/app/com.theisenp.blade-1.apk

Here's what I've tried so far:

• Selecting the "Wipe User Data" option in the Run Configurations -> Target menu. (Though I can only see emulators and not my physical device in this tab. Perhaps I'm not actually wiping user data from the Xoom?)
• Uninstalling the app from my device before trying to reinstall
• Restarting the device multiple times

Any suggestions you can offer are very much appreciated!

Answer 1

I didn't have any previous version of the App installed, so uninstall was not an option. On newer version of Emulator you can fix that by doing Cold boot in AVDM (Android Virtual Device Manager), that had helped me.
