Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_UID_CHANGED

Question

I have this error every time that I intend to install the app on my device with Eclipse Juno.

Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_UID_CHANGED

I also tried uninstalling the app, clearing the project, reopening Eclipse and reboot de system and the phone.

and the problem is still there.

the logcat said No content provider found for permission revoke: file:///data/local/tmp/STU.apk but I don't understand what he said (Eclipse) about this.

I don't know what to do now.

please help

Please see this issue - This should cover your problem :)

I've also had this problem before - te most reliable solution is to wipe the Emulator using.

emulator.exe -avd myAvdName -wipe-data

I had to delete app data from the device and the problem was solved. Use the rm command with caution, make sure your app/package name is correct.

adb shell
cd /data/data
rm -rf com.company.appname
