Android application with different package name but same code did not installing on one device

Question

I am working on an android application. Meanwhile i got chance to work on another application similar to first. I have just copy my previous code to new
project.

1) src files

2) res files

3) manifest

4) build.gradle

and then I change packagename from com.abc to com.xyz in

1) build.gradle

2) Manifest

3) src files

Now i have installed first app in my device and try to install second one but it does not work. Same error also occur when i have installed second app and try to install first one.

Here is the error

Is there any other thing i need to change apart from packagename??

There may be different issues, but try this: go to gradle and change applicationId, another reason could be conflicting of authorithies in apps, refer to these:

Install shows error in console: INSTALL FAILED CONFLICTING PROVIDER

INSTALL_FAILED_CONFLICTING_PROVIDER in Android

Not my own but use facebook content provider for logged in. – Najeeb Idrees Aug 18 '16 at 15:16
issue solved just comment facebook content provider code – Najeeb Idrees Aug 18 '16 at 15:26
@user2121089 could you past string which you removed ? I think we can solve that without removing. I faced with the same issue but with MAPS_RECEIVE permissions in two same applications on one device – kkost Aug 18 '16 at 15:48
I didn't remove anything, conflict comes from same authority, third link is pretty useful, I advice you to read it fully. – M. Erfan Mowlaei Aug 18 '16 at 16:00
In Manifest change FacebookContentProvider170559530034548 replace app id with new app id – Najeeb Idrees Aug 20 '16 at 11:19

I have the same issue in the same case and I solved it by adding applicationId. In my case problem was in permission.MAPS_RECEIVE, I saw that in error logs. So I did next:

AndroidManifest.xml:

<permission
        android:name="${applicationId}.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
        android:protectionLevel="signature" />
