安装错误: INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK

我是 Android 开发的新手,我想首先让 Hello World应用程序运行。 我使用的是 Eclipse IDE 和 Android 4.0.3版本15 SDK。我从一个教程站点复制了所有内容,但是当我尝试在 virtual device上运行应用程序时,我得到了这个错误:

[2012-02-01 11:31:23 - Android_test] Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK
[2012-02-01 11:31:23 - Android_test] Please check logcat output for more details.
[2012-02-01 11:31:23 - Android_test] Launch canceled!

下面是我在 com.maze.app软件包中的课程: 软件包 com.maze.app;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;


public class HelloAndroid extends Activity{
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
TextView tv = new TextView(this);
tv.setText("Hello, Android");
setContentView(tv);


}


}

以及 AndroidManifest.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.maze.app"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >


<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="15" android:targetSdkVersion="@string/app_name"/>


<application
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name" >
<activity android:name="HelloAndroid" android:launchMode="standard" android:enabled="true"></activity>
</application>

以下是 Virtual Device的配置:

Name: AndroidVD
CPU/ABI: ARM(armeabi-v7a)
Path: path\to\avd
Target: Android 4.0.3(API level 15)
Skin: WVGA800
hw.lcd.density: 240
hw.cpu.model: cortex-a8
vm.heapSize: 48
hw.ramSize:512

有什么问题吗?

编辑: 应用程序不在虚拟设备上运行: 下面是我在 LogCat 上看到的内容(其中一些行) :

This means the version of android of your avd is older than the version being used to compile the code

It is due to android:targetSdkVersion="@string/app_name" in your manifiest file.
Change it to:

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="15" android:targetSdkVersion="15"/>

The targetSdkVersion should be an integer, but @string/app_name would be a string. I think this causing the error.

EDIT:
You have to add a default intent-filter in your manifiest file for the activity. Then only android can launch the activity. otherwise you will get the below error in your console window.

[2012-02-02 09:17:39 - Test] No Launcher activity found!
[2012-02-02 09:17:39 - Test] The launch will only sync the application package on the device!

Add the following to your <activity> tag.

<activity android:name="HelloAndroid" android:launchMode="standard" android:enabled="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>

I am on Android Studio. I got this error when min/targetSDKVersion were set to 17. While looking thro this thread, I tried to change the minSDKVersion, voila..problem fixed. Go figure.. :(

    android:minSdkVersion="17"
android:targetSdkVersion="17" />

In my case I edited a project having this in the AndroidManifest.xml file, and which was ginving me the above error, at runtime:

<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="17"
android:targetSdkVersion="17" />

What I did just, was to change minSdkVersion="17", to minSdkVersion="16". My resulting tag was:

<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="16"
android:targetSdkVersion="17" />

Now I'm not getting the error anymore..

Hope this helps

This error occurs when the sdk-version installed on your device (real or virtual device) is smaller than android:minSdkVersion in your android manifest.

You either have to decrease your android:minSdkVersion or you have to specify a higher api-version for your AVD.

Keep in mind, that it is not always trivial to decrease android:minSdkVersion as you have to make sure, your app cares about the actual installed API and uses the correct methods:

AsyncTask<String, Object, String> task = new AsyncTask<String, Object, String>() {
@Override
protected Boolean doInBackground(String... params) {
if (params == null) return "";
StringBuilder b = new StringBuilder();
for (String p : params) {
b.append(p);
}
return b.toString();
}
};
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
task.executeOnExecutor(AsyncTask.THREAD_POOL_EXECUTOR,"Hello", " ", "world!");
} else {
task.execute("Hello", " ", "world!");
}

Using the android-support-library and/or libraries like actionbar-sherlock will help you dealing especially with widgets of older versions.

Received the same error , the problem was difference in the version of Android SDK which AVD was using and the version in AndroidManifest file. I could solve it by correcting the

android:minSdkVersion="16"

to match with AVD.

I am using Android Studio 0.8.1. I have a project's gradle file like below:

android {
compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion "20.0.0"


defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.omersonmez.widgets.hotspot"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 19
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
runProguard false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}

My emulator was android 4.0. So i modified my emulator and made api level 4.0.3(apilevel 15). It worked.

Make sure to check your build.gradle and that it doesn't use a newer SDK version than what is installed on your AVD. That's only if you use Android Studio though.

If you are totally new like me, you must install the minimum SDK at first. Check the link.

This worked out perfectly for me:

Same problem other post with a good solution

You will see the same error if you are trying to install an apk that was built using

compileSdkVersion "android-L"

Even for devices running the final version of Android 5.0. Simply change this to

compileSdkVersion 21

I tried all the responses described here but my solution was changing inside my build.gradle file minSdkVersion from 8 to 9 because some libraries in my project can´t work with API 8, that´s was the reason for the message INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'


android {
compileSdkVersion 22
buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"


defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.tuna.hello.androidstudioapplication"
minSdkVersion 9
targetSdkVersion 22
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
...
...
...

My solution was to change the run configurations module drop-down list from wearable to android. (This error happened to me when I tried running Google's I/O Sched open-source app.) It would automatically pop up the configurations every time I tried to run until I changed the module to android.

You can access the configurations by going to Run -> Edit Configurations... -> General tab -> Module: [drop-down-list-here]

Fix for new Android 6.0 Marshmallow Fixed my issue when I updated to API 23 (Android 6.0 Marshmallow) by updating the build tools version to 23.0.0 as follows:

android {
buildToolsVersion '23.0.0'
...

And went to File > Project Structure , chose Properties tab then updated the Compile Sdk version to "API 23: Android 5.X (MNC)" and the Build tools version to "23.0.0"

I found that making the recommended change in the manifest didn't solve my problem.

The fix was found in the GradleScripts folder, in the build.gradle file for the Module:app.

Inside this file (build.gradle) the following line was modified. minSdkVersion 22 I changed this '22' value to '19' for my particular phone and the build completed without error.

Mate, my advice is to change virtual device. Download "Genimotion" application, its easy to use and there are a lot of any devices you need

I've changed my android:minSdkVersion and android:targetSdkVersion to 18 from 21:

uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="18" android:targetSdkVersion="18"

Now I can install my app successfully.

Ionic Android emulator error INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK

So, basically it means that the installation has failed due to having an older SDK version than the targetSdkVersion specified in your app (it's a Gradle issue). Just edit the AndroidManifest.xml file and add the following code:

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="19" android:targetSdkVersion="14"/>

After days looking for the solution, that's it.

Works fine for me!

If the error "Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK" appears, you must change the version of minSdkVersion in AndroidManifest to the one specified in the android emulator: see Settings -> About phone -> Android version.

Go in your project's build.cradle file and add

defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion versions.minSdk

}`

This makes it that your application conforms to the minimum SDK your device is running.

In our case using Flutter, some of our plugins required minimum API level 23 (Android 6.1) due to which several old devices could not install our app . For example, a Huawei Android 5.1 device could not install the app as the Flutter project's several plugins demanded minimum API 23 or Android version 6.1 .

To make a solution in such a case:

  1. Either, remove those plugins to make your app compatible with old phones
  2. Or, keep using high-API-required Flutter plugins that may lose old-device users .
