Android Question [Solved} App gets overwritten...

[nypaulie]

I had written a database program for storing my DVDs. Wanting another app for storing an E-Book collection, I used a copy of the DVD one and changed the filenames, etc.. When I compile it it overwrites my DVD lister. The .b4a files, the db files and the Application Label all have different names. What must I change to keep this from overwriting?

[added later] The following post from alwaysbusy gave me the answer. Thanks always!

Have you changed the package name?

Use 2 different folders, not just another b4a file in the same (ran into this at the very first beginning)

Pardon my ignorance, but how would I do that? - change the package name.

Thanks. I will give that a try.

Project - Build Configurations - Package

Give it some name like mycompany.myprojectname

Thank you. That did it! I wanted to preface my post title with "[Solved]" but the edit only covers the body.

Thanks Shane - I made the edit.

Also a big thanks from me. I am very new to B4A programming and I had two versions of the same app and I wanted both of them on screen at the same time, however they kept overwriting each other and then I read your post on what to do and it works perfectly. Again, thanks a lot.
