Netbeans Android plugin – problems and solutions.

 

Problem: Re-deploy application gives: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS]

Description: Application fails to install because it is already installed

Solution:

1. Delete manually using emulator menu
2. Add the following to build.xml (Files → ApplicationName → build.xml):

<target depends="init,compile,jar,-sign,-start-emulator,-wait-for-emulator,-pre-install-app" name="-install-app">

    <exec executable="${adb}">

        <arg value="install"/>

        <arg value="${dist.apk}"/>

    </exec>

</target>

 

Problem: Build failes because R.java does not exist

Description: Android plugin does not generate R.java

Solution: Add the following to build.xml:

<target name="-pre-compile">

    <echo>Generating R.java / Manifest.java from the resources...</echo>

    <exec executable="${aapt}" failonerror="true">

        <arg value="package" />

        <arg value="-m" />

        <arg value="-J" />

        <arg value="${src.dir}" />

        <arg value="-M" />

        <arg value="AndroidManifest.xml" />

        <arg value="-S" />
