I got this Froyo (2.2) device that I am using to make an app. When I try to run the app directly to the device it shows an error saying
pkg: /data/local/tmp/com.example.HelloWorldProject
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK]
and in another window there's an error saying
Unable to attach test reporter to test framework or test framework quit unexpectedly
What seem to make the said errors?
EDIT:
AndroidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.test.helloworld"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="17"/>
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:debuggable="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"

<activity
android:name="com.example.HelloWorldProject.MyActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name">

In android studio: reduce minSDKversion. It will work...
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "healthcare.acceliant.trianz.com.myapplication"
minSdkVersion 11
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
}
After I changed
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.bocheng.myapplication"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 'L' #change this to 19
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
in build.gradle
file.
it works
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK]
For Sumsung note3 I just edit the AndroidManifest.xml
file and add the following code:
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="17"/>
This error
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK]
Means that you're trying to install an app that has a higher minSdkVersion
specified in its manifest than the device's API level. Change that number to 8
and it should work. I'm not sure about the other error, but it may be related to this one.
I fixed this problem.The device system version is older then the sdk minSdkVersion? I just modified the minSdkVersion from android_L to 19 to target my nexus 4.4.4.
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.12.2'
}
}
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
repositories {
jcenter()
}
android {
**compileSdkVersion 'android-L'** modified to 19
buildToolsVersion "20.0.0"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.antwei.uiframework.ui"
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 'L'
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
runProguard false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
**compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:21.+'** modified to compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:20.0.0'
}
how to modified the value by ide. select file->Project Structure -> Facets -> android-gradle and then modified the compile Sdk Version from android_L to 19
sorry I don't have enough reputation to add pictures
Make sure you don't have a minSdkVersion
set in your build.gradle
with a value higher than 8. If you don't specify it at all, it's supposed to use the value in your AndroidManfiest.xml
, which seems to already be properly set.
Change file AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="19"/>
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="14"/>
Besides checking the right minSdkVersion
in build.gradle
, make sure you have installed all necessary tools
and correct SDK Platform
for your preferred Android Version in SDK Manager
. In Android Studio klick on Tools -> Android -> SDK Manager. Then install at minimum (for Android 2.2 without emulator):
This is what worked for me.
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK] basically means that the installation has failed due to the target location (AVD/Device) having an older SDK version than the targetSdkVersion specified in your app.
N/B Froyo 2.2 API 8
To fix this simply change
targetSdkVersion="17" to targetSdkVersion="8"
cheers.
Just removing uses-sdk
tag works for me for such problems.
Make Sure the Select Run/Debug Configuration is wear or mobile as per your installation in android studio...
Fix your gradle file the following way
defaultConfig {
applicationId "package.com.app"
minSdkVersion 8 //this should be lower than your device
targetSdkVersion 21
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
This is because you mobile has older sdk version than your application..!!! It means your application need sdk version suppose Lollipop but you mobile has version kitkat.
In your manifest file package
attribute is set to com.test.helloworld
however your activity class is under different package. Change your MyActivity class package to com.example.helloworld
