Android Question Why has my app stopped installing?

There is no problem with rerunning the debugger when it is connected. I don't think that it is related.

Have you tried Tools - Clean Project?

Thanks very much, that seems to have done the trick. Out of curiosity, what does "Clean Project" do?

However, when I get an error while running my code the debugger no-longer highlights the line that the error occurred on. I recently, used the "Release" option when de-bugging, which is when all my problems seemed to start. The error on the device is "Unfortunately, <app name> has stopped", rather than "Paused on line..." which it always used to say. It will also still works without the debugger once it has been installed even though I have deleted the "Release.apk" from the device.

Thanks for such a quick response as always

Clean project removes all the generated files created during compilation.

Ok thanks , any ideas on my problem with the de-bugger?

Check the logs when the error happens. The full error message should be there.

In rapid debug mode you will never see the "an error has occurred" message. The program just prints the error and quits.

I found the problem was actually that I had initialised an object twice. I am using Debug(legacy) as I have some old code which won't debug in rapid mode. This perhaps explains the unusual error.

Thanks

I'm afraid to say the problem has came back, the prompt to install the app is no longer displaying. Tools - Clean Project is having no effect. Any suggestions. Thanks

Have you tried to uninstall the existing app from the device? Have you tried to restart the device?
